yeah i heard for gender that gender schema came up and it was totally unexpected? i did aggression, eating behaviour and bio rhythms and sleep! the eating behaviour question was ehhh... the biological explanation for anorexia/obesity or something?

Also, what did people write for the last question on matched pairs??

I put to give them the questionnaire to find their anxiety score and then match them depending on similar anxiety scores

I put spearman rho for the stats test but would I still get marks for putting independent groups and ordinal data ?

Not sure because wasn't it independent groups, interval data and test of difference. But it was only 3 marks so I wouldn't worry

yeah but I put independant groups and ordinal data so hopefully I can at least get 1 mark despite getting the test wrong

I wrote about making sure that the participants in each condition were matched with someone of similar characteristic etc in the other.

Then in how they could do it in that study I said to use monozygotic twins

Twins, if not genetic similarity then age height build sex weight

i put age and the class type that they are in? is class type ok because it was a school ( i think i put year instead of class) was they also a question that asked us why the carrying out of the small scale investigation was important before doing the big one? i swear they was?

I did the OCD question on outline evaluate TWO explanations for OCD. This meant you had the choice to do both bio and psychological explanations. But many of the people in my class, me included,used 2 aspects of the bio explanation and one from Psych. So on the surface we used two explanations but 3 aspects. Does anyone know if that will mean they only count 2 of the 3 points made?

I apologise if this is poorly explained

Did anyone else do a histogram for the graph question? The question said 'a graph' and that was the only option to get all the data onto it no?

i found the relationships question alright but i absolutely hated both the others so that's why I'm relying on unit 4 to pull my marks up haha

for the question on why the particpants was randomly allocated to each conditon? would it be to avoid treatement bias? could this be a sufficient answer?

The sample included both sexes aged 15-16 year olds you're right. But there was nothing about age affecting anxiety. The study was focused on anxiety scores before the 6 week programme and after, therefore your answer might be incorrect! I wouldn't worry at all though, it's only a 2 mark and won't effect your grade much :smile:

I wrote that the scores would be lower after the programme but then I thought it might be wrong so I wrote "or..." what would I get for that? 0? Or would they mark the first answer?

Spearman rho ? I thought it was correlational but at least Mann whitney and Spearman are both ordinal and independent groups, that's what I mean would I be able to get marks or not?

still a Mann Whitney u test, you can get the mark for saying 'at least ordinal' or 'more complex than nominal' rather than specifying ordinal/ ratio/ interval
