A2 psychology OCR G543 revision thread 2014

You know for comparing questions, is it okay for the main point to use the two studies we are comparing and then for the critique use the other study which is different?

Anyone know how to evaluate theories in terms of validity and reliability?

Also in a 15m is it ok to use two out of the 3 studies as examples for 3 evaluative points?

do you mean for example:

Cognitive and behavioral treatments for managing stress both treat the individual compared to the social means of managing stress which treats the situation.

If you are referring to an answer similar to that then that is fine, as you are comparing different methods

Nah, I mean that say you are doing a similarity and you compare the cognitive with behavioural (for example) then you give your research etc and then as a critique you say however the biological approach says....

This only works if you use the PERC/PEEC structure.

i would say that is fine as you are showing your understanding of different approaches and their strengths and weaknesses. just ensure that you use some of the wording in the question in your answer, to show that you are answering the question.

such a pain all of this!

I wouldn't ignore it if you have the time! It's a bit of a gamble. They've done it a few times. Diagnosis came up three times in a row once! (Jan 12, June 12, Jan 13).

They know us students like to use process of elimination to make our revision easier, so they fool us. :frown:

Hoping that because we haven't had a January exam this year that they'll be kinder to us.

Thanks! Yeah I know, they shouldn't be too hard on us since we haven't had January. this paper is ridiculous in terms of content
