Original post by Danny786

Which ones of yours did he get right? I'm doing Media + Schiz and dunno wheter to trust his predictions as I cba revising them all

relationships, eating behaviour, and aggression. i'm doing those same ones, I'm honestly just doing them all this time because I don't feel like I did as well as I could in unit 3 so I need this one to be higher!

do you know what his actual predictions are though? because i haven't seen them yet and it would be interesting to keep in mind

So nobody has essays on the biological and psychological therapies of schizophrenia that could get me into uni???????

Can't help since I don't do schizophrenia sorry! Although, take a look at this website they have some model 24 mark essays which may help... https://marcotheman.wordpress.com/2014/06/08/discuss-psychological-explanations-of-schizophrenia-24-marks/

Me too. I find the Hovland-yale and Elaboration likelihood model easier to apply but the rest of content on media not so much :/

yeahhh. out of curiosity though, do you know if you can use the HYM and ELM when answering a question about the persuasiveness of TV? Or do you have to strictly stick to the other topics? because that confused me too

Does anyone have any specific, unique ways to remember inferential tests? and how much do we actually have to know for them? (incompetent teacher)

Does anyone want a solid 24 marker on biological therapies?

Do you have to know the effect of computers for Media or is it just video games?

i don't have any good ways to remember them although i'm looking for some, but all we need to know is which test to use! we don't need to know how to actually use them :smile:

I don't, I'm sorry :/ I literally left all my psya4 until last minute so mine would be in the same boat anyway.
I haven't had a chance to read these yet but people have been posting this link a lot so I would assume they are good ones for Sz:

Also these for basic explanations for media: https://revisepsychology.wordpress.com/category/media-influence/

hope they help a little!

Nominal data + indepedent groups= chi squared
Ordinal data + independent groups= Man whintey u
Ordinal data + matched pairs= wilcoxon
Ordinal data + correlation= spearmans row

Literally the way i remember it

how do you improve internal and external validity and reliability?

Also what would you include in a question to "design a study" and how many marks would it be?

anyone have any idea why grade boundaries are so low for these papers? On some papers you only need like 70% of the raw marks to get full ums
