Hey guys, just a quick question about the unit 3 exam and then I need to get over it because it's now saturday! In the biological explanations of anorexia question i did all my a01 and then all my a02 afterwards? Would i get marked down for this? Like instead of explaining one explanation and evaluating it, and then moving on, I just wrote all the explanations, and then all the evaluation? So I did neural mechanisms, neurodevelopment and reproductive suppression hypothesis. And then support for serotonin, dopamine, neurodevelopment, challenge for dopamine, and a couple of IDA's about the evolutionary explanation being reductionist and studies focusing too much on women? Is this really badddddd? :frown:


I wouldn't worry I'm sure it'll be fine, as long as you had all your points in and especially had ao2/3 and ida which you explained well I don't think it would really matter!

Idk then? To be honest I haven't gone over that in a while, I'm doing it tomorrow lol.
I'd just say make basic AO1 points like 'it has been suggested that video games can desensitise you' and then jump into making the most of the studies and fleshing those out.
If we're seeing a 12 marker as half of a 24 marker, AO1 is only 4 marks anyway, so it really doesn't need to be much.


You're more likely to get a 4 mark 'findings' question... At most a 4+6, so you would talk about studies for AO1 and evaluate them for AO2. Far more likely to be asked for explanations of media influences

yes, in mark schemes it still states A02/A03 so it must be still valid also my teacher said it is

There are two types of design questions in the research section. It can be design a consent form or a set of standardised instructions which is usually worth 5 marks or design a study or experiment which is usually worth 10 marks and


How would you go at answering those questions??

yep it was the plural....i think i included both but not sure..i was trying to write as fast as i can so i can't remember. And that sucks! i didnt bother learning the essays that came up last year and i was lucky as they didnt ask anything this year but then i heard about the ppl doing gender and i realised i probably shouldnt risk it for psya4 :/


Mmmm but trying to learn everything for psay4 is so difficult 😭😭

In a question like this you can use any HYM/ELM or soft sell hard sell etc


But if you use HYM/ELM you have to adapt them to TV.

You can talk about either as long as you refer it to tv :smile:

thanks so much but would there ever be an question in media that only asks for the explanations of the persuasiveness of tv advertising and not the elm and hovland yale model? because i'm more confident with elm and hovland yale.
