Critically consider?

how do you answer this question differently from just a 'describe and evaluate' question? does it mean that you just dont put any of the advantages of any theories you mention, and just list all the criticisms?

no you can consider something positive and negative and to critically assess it you have to weigh up the good and bad points. Its jut the same, they're just bad at phrasing and try to vary it, often with confusing results.

Did you see the A02 i left for you??

oh yeah cheers for that. tbh, i didnt know most of it, and I would never have thought of it. the only thing is that you mentioned homosexual relationships a lot. In my textbook, the factors in interpersonal attraction are physical attractiveness, proximity, attitude similarity, demographic similarity, and personality similarity. And it doesnt mention homosexual relationships at all in that section. Could i still mention it in evaluating them, or should i save it for an essay on understudied relationships?

well you can use heterosexual relationships to evaluate homosexual ones, but then you can then say that these theories can't be applied to all cultures or subcultures (homosexual or computer).

I think you can use it vice versa to be honest. And you're only gonna get one question on it so you may as well not hold back with it. So learn it as part of both then just apply it to the question i guess.
