AQA A2 Psychology PSYA3/PSYA4 Revision Thread 2016

oh my god I didn't label the side axis!! that was a dumb mistake hahaha, me too no I didn't put a title, probably should have...

Guys!!!! For unit 3 I just realised that I didn't put the number of the question in the boxes (I'm an idiot yes I know but I didn't read it) instead I put it next to the answer on the actual lines so e.g. 02) biological explanations state....

Will this affect anything? Omg I'm praying it doesn't because I didn't write ANY of the question numbers in the boxes only on the lines
I noticed my mistake in today's exams and filled it in correctly but I'm panicking now because I realised I didn't for unit 3

for the media influences question the scenario one for addiction, did you have to right about the three theories I didnt

So...
For the first 30 mins I wrote about Biological explanations (in great freaking detail) rather than therapies. Realised my mistake though and managed to write about the therapies and include ECT and some BS Ao2 xD

Media.... I don't really know what they want for the 10 marker. I mentioned the pro-social behavioural traits (altruism, empathy, positive interaction) and used studies to show what they could do (e.g. I mentioned Sprafkin and their findings, then said the programme could contain instances of altruism whereby a child rescues an animal in distress; I mentioned Ostrov in a similar fashion but for eduactional media).

I only wrote 3/4 of a page, though...

H-Y model was pretty good... speaker ---> attention ---> clear message ---> comprehension ---> yielding and persuasion... I think that's right. (I did mention the audience throughout.)

Evolutionary explanations... I did Gossip theory using 2 studies and evaluating them (probably badly) and the other one about love of novelty and evaluated one study.

RM was pretty good aside from the consent form which I dragged out by quite a bit...

Managed to finish though so... yay? Next is maths tomorrow

I wrote single and double blind design too - I was so confused, I had a brain fart thinking what to write for it!

it's nothing to worry about!! i have no idea if my answer is correct, thats why im praying for low grade boundaries xD

I tried to make it clear by putting something like: 'The statistical test which I would use in this investigation is a Mann-Whitney U test.' And then I listed three appropriate reasons which I'm hoping are correct.

Then below I named Chi-Squared and listed three reasons.

I should have probably crossed out one of my answers. Yolo I can't change it now

This year, they're being marked by hand, so you should be okay

You should be OK, there's a little page somewhere on the AQA website that says they try and work out in every case where people forget to do this, also applies to other stuff like people using blue pens etc If your result does come back and looks really weird you should be able to fix it though appeal if not, but from what I can tell they try their best to work it out! Especially since you wrote the question number you'll almost certainly be fjne

me too :/ what other topics did you do?

I had like 3 minutes left and needed to do the graph so drew a pie chart for god sake! Not gd.

Also the directional hypothesis i wrote something like "anxiety scores will be lower after the 6 week programme" but thats not operationalised or anything is it ahhh

i did depression, addictive behaviour (absolute crap questions this year) and research methods! wbu?

The one tailed question really confused me and now i feel so stupid, lost an easy mark😭😭😭
