Edexcel GCSE Psychology 10th June 2014 Paper 2

That was an alright exam tbh. The last question was a bit predictable after looking at the papers we'd been given.
I was a bit surprised that there were 2 questions that linked to certain studies but didn't mention them. E.g. the one similar to Anderson & Dill where they played boxing and brain games, then measrued aggression.

And why was the last question 8 marks? I was told it was going to be 10 (I'm not complaining, just curious).

Yeh I liked it too, yeah for some reason they changed it this year; made last q 8 marks lulz

I wrote about the Bennet study... But I flopped tbh

This exam was great
I know this sounds stupid but one the tickbox question that asked what type of question 'Are you afraid of..?' Was it open or closed?

Wasn't it are you afraid of cats or something? Anyway, closed. Cause you can only answer yes or no (or something very limited, if it were open, it would be something more like why are you afraid of cats).

This was a good paper. Nice questions, did anyone else write about family patterns for one social cause of criminality?

I wrote about family size

For the whole 8 marks? I checked my textbook, family pattern counts as one social cause e.g. divorce, maternal deprivation, work, family size.

Does SLT count?

Oh good I put this. I just thought it could be open as they could say stuff like 'maybe' or 'sort of'.
What sort of grade are you hoping for in psychology?

I'm doing it at college so hopefully A. I did a test last year for perception, got an A*, it just went down from there but then back up. When we've done mocks in class, I've tended to get A's. I'd be extremely happy with an A* though, but I know I won't get one.

Well it depends, how did you explain it? Because Family patterns, self-fulfilling prophecy are all under the social learning theory, you had to talk about only 1 of them.
