AQA Psychology paper 3 14th June 2018 unofficial markscheme

5. In paper 2, exogenous zeitgeber application of Julia, I said for the room to have some light

why is this wrong??

because apparently afterwards, I should also talk about it should be dark, to release more melatonin and induce sleep. Whereas I just spoke about the light in great detail, to do with entrainment, SCN, synchronization etc etc

ohh got it - dont worry I'm sure you'l get some marks anyway

6/8 ?

6/8 ?

For co-morbidity you just literally had to explain it in terms of schizophrenia, so adding an example. For example Schizophrenia and Depression. I think for the symptoms overlap one, that was the question where you had to talk about how it affects the validity. So keeping it basic, symptoms overlap causes a decrease in validity for the obvious reasons, leading to ect ect.

I'm pretty sure that's still right...

I mentioned the BPS guidelines and what you described is pretty much included in BPS

I completely messed up the 8 marker on ethical implications and forgot all about it and wrote about protection from harm, debriefing 😡😡

depends on your evaluation and application as well

can someone please tell me how many marks out of 8 you reckon i got on the ethical implications question. i basically have no idea what they are but i started by saying that ethical implications refer to the effects on society research may have for example the effects on public policy and through the way it represents participants.

then as an example i outlined research into adoption studies and basically said that its led to public policy being influence for example through children in orphanages being assigned a key worker to ensure attachment occurs and this is beneficial to society.

then i also outlined research into aggression surrounding the prefrontal cortex and spoke about how this has ethical implications through ensuring that juries can make the right decisions in ensuring that they may take into account that some criminals may kill due to their biology and so better decisions are made in courts etc

I put observation and insrtuctured interviews. What did Yous wrote for why measuring heart rate was a problem or reductionist whatever it said?

For the aggression essay I did SLT (modelling) and FA hypothesis ( mentioned all ao1) and linked both to stem with 3 Ao3s including supporting evi and how SLT is less determinist. Do you think that would get about 12?

What did you guys get for the first question on cultural relativism holism etc?
I got DBCA...

yeahhhh i got that. Lool that's the only answer I was really looking for on here.

Would probably get around that as you didn’t mention deindividuation

What did everyone get for the answer in aggression question 1?? I put B and E i wasnt sure...

I put B and C as I'm pretty sure the MAOA gene is responsible for the production of the enzyme of MAOA so I thought it couldn't be linked to testosterone or serotonin

I don’t think you had to mention all 3 tho. The Q said at least one so I thought I would do two. How did you link it to the stem? I said about modelling of the friends and frustration from loosing the game?
