Yeyaa, how'd you find the questions? I was quite pleased with them


I felt the questions were quite nice ones woo 🎉 How did you feel? I literally tried to eek out everything I could find haha! From what I can remember I put the sheep-goat effect because she's a believer, the fact she volunteered herself, only having them in different rooms and not sound proof or electromagnetically shielded, playing white noise through the headphones (just incase ahha as they didn't state anything would be playing through them), having the sender choose the image instead of being randomly chosen by computer, use of the researcher giving the cards to reciever (I.e he could pass on info with a bent corner for example), only using one person and the file drawer effect by choosing the 'hits' that occurred during the several trials but overlooking the 'misses'. Literally just brain vomited everything in my brain onto the paper in hope they'll find some marks haha. How many did you put?

Addiction or schizophrenia anyone?

Addiction or schizophrenia anyone?

I got completely confused when it asked why the researcher's used a one-tailed hypothesis, because they had already asked for a directional hypothesis and it was a new anxiety management programme, so I just assumed I remembered one and two-tailed hypothesis the wrong way round. Put something along the lines of 'as there was no previous evidence indicating a direction'. Yay.

It was so *****y biological therapies came up barely did any revision on it. Addiction and research methods were okay.

What a02 points did you write for schizohprenia?

I felt like I kinda made up studies in mines because I forget them kinda

For depression did anyone just write about one explanation, because it said "one or more"? I just wrote in depth about Beck's cognitive model including the cognitive triad, negative silent assumptions and faulty information processing. I didn't write anything about the psychodynamic theory because I didn't have time and I thought well it says you can write about only one so I'll just write about one explanation. Will I get partial performance for only writing about one? Concerned as many people I spoke to wrote about Beck's cognitive model and a bit about the psychodynamic theory!

I put the hypothesis is directional which can be backed up with evidence from previous research

yeah how did you find it??

I talked about things like relapse rates, side effects such as tardive dyskenisia, not treating the real cause (could be EE)

what did you write for the 10 mark media influences on addictive behaviour? I felt like there wasn't a lot to write apart from the study Sulkunen did.
