AQA A2 Psychology PSYA3/PSYA4 Revision Thread 2016

I'm just checking through my folder and for psychological explanations for schizophrenia, my essay includes cognitive and psychodynamic explanations, but would dysfunctional families be a relevant one or should I just leave it out?

For media pro and antisocial behaviour when talking about the SLT is it ok to talk about Bandura's Bobo doll study?

Is it too late to start revising for this exam?? I need a B fml

Media prediction anyone I dont have a facebook ac so I cant see Loopa's prediction

Don't just revise predictions for PSYA4...AQA repeat so much on this unit!

I have a hard copy.

Could you possibly take pictures of the research methods section and send it to me? Don't worry if it's a trouble, if you could just tell me the questions that came up that would be fab too! Thanks!

Thank you so much, you're a star!! And yes a mark scheme would be brill too thanks!!

What would an operationalised hypothesis be as a opposed to a non operationalised one? Also would be grateful for a 10 mark design study headings / plan for research

Hey would I be able to hypothetically get full marks if for the Biorhythms question, I just wrote about the sleep-wake cycle as a circadian rhythm? I wrote about exogenous zeitgebers and the SCN (endogenous pacemaker) but I'm getting paranoid as it said wrote about their control of "circadian rhythm(s)" and I just wrote about the sleep-wake cycle as a circadian rhythm. In my psych class we only learnt about the sleep-wake cycle and no other circadian rhythms.

In short, is it okay that I just wrote about the sleep-wake cycle? Thanks

So operationalised hypothesis is when you have identified how you're gonna measure your IV, so for example: there is a relationship between happiness scores (on a questionnaire) and intelligence test scores. If you didn't say that it was on a questionnaire it will not be operationalised, this is quite a specific example from the January 2013 past paper but hopefully you get the gist of it. As long as you're saying how you're measuring your IV in your hypothesis, it should be fine
