From what I’ve seen, this is the second exam I have (after Geography Paper 1). I hate attachment and memory though so it’s going to be a pain :frown:

I love memory, don't mind parts of attachment and psychopathology, and HATE social influence (it's all so similar and boring) so kind of dreading paper 1. My favourite is paper 2!!! I don't think we'll finish the content for paper 3 so I need paper 1 to go well, so any tips on Bowlby's monotropic theory or maternal deprivation/social influence (specifically the Authoritarian personality) is appreciated 😋

I think it is worth buying for extra exam practice but it is impossible to be sure if the predictions will be accurate. People have said her predictions have been very 50/50, which you would expect. You can see what topics have come up in past exams yourself here https://www.tutor2u.net/psychology/reference/exam-topic-tracker-for-aqa-a-level-psychology

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to answer this 16-marker?

“Outline and evaluate variables affecting conformity.” (Social influence)

I’m wondering what consists of AO3 for this question?
Would I talk about Aschs study for my AO3 or would I have to talk about other research that supports his study?

My structure would probably be:

AO1 - Group size
AO3

AO1 - Unanimity
AO3

AO1 - Task difficulty
AO3

Just not sure on evaluation, any indication would be helpful!

I am answering this question as well

I was planning to include stuff related to culture/gender bias for evaluation, its not a realistic study if the exact question isn't in relation to Asch I was going to bring in zimbardo
