Hey fellow Psychology Students!

Recently, I've been looking at ways to expand on the success of the weekly Study Together sessions we’re running every Tuesday evenings (https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=7443741) and one idea we’ve had is to run similar sessions for students studying Psychology :biggrin:

.

The idea would be to have weekly sessions lasting an hour where you can come online and revise Psychology with other students. It feels like it could be a great way to build confidence with the content, as well as being a fun and sociable way to get some studying done.

Please let me know if this is something you would be interested in! If so, please comment on this post!

Personally I think at least two of the rhythms will come up. I think it might be a 16 marker

Based off what has and hasn't been asked in the past few years, and looking at all papers from 2018-2023 this looks to fill those gaps

it's to do with falsifiability, objectivity, paradigm, hypothesis testing, theory construction and replicability. it's not hard it sounds rlly scary but i suggest u just look online. could include questions like "outline one feature of a science and how it relates to __ approach" just an example. an 8 marker in the past has come up in paper 1 as "discuss features of a science" where you'd outline the features i mentioned above and then explain how whether aspects of psychology align with them or not.
