OMG I Ioved this paper! I preferred it so much more to paper 1 which had way more ambiguous questions. The questions on paper 2 were very straight forward and very AO1 orientated
The sign test question was fairly straight forward when you thought about why it was appropriate
My answer included That the study measured a change in outcome under repeated measures design. The design clearly allows changes to be analysed in the same person in a valid way. It is important that Sign Test uses data that has been obtained using repeated measures
Data in the study was nominal meaning it could categorised.
The categories e.g ‘more helpful/less helpful/ same’ can easily be allocated signs. For example ‘more helpful is clearly a (+) change.
Anyways how did everyone find the paper. I am so HAPPPYYY THIS MARKS THE END OF MY PSYCHOLOGY JOURNEYYY as im dropping it to pick up further maths. Goodbyeee Grozoli et Terry and your pregnant women and goodddbyeee Bandura and your aggressive childrennnnn x

Paper wasn’t too bad however I was surprised at the lack of Biopsychology questions and my college didn’t actually inform us that research methods is an individual section ![Image]()
Cognitive explanations to depression Q was lovely as was the treatment to OCD q’s & the majority of psychopathology to be honest. Sign test question tripped me up but I did write about nominal data & repeated measures
There also seems to be a suspicious amount of questions on secretly watching children from aqa ![Image]()
How did you all link the Pavlov question to the relevance it has to humans?

I wrote about how he used the method of introspection to make psychology a science and I also explained his methods.

It was all going fine until the 12 marker, if it was the cognitive approach to ocd I would have been okay, but depression??!!! I had NO idea what to write so just waffled on about the worry circuit knowing damn well it was wrong but it was worth a chance😂😂 I heard afterwards we were supposed to write about the ABC Ellis thing
