My predictions:
Approaches

•

SLT

•

Biological approach

•

Comparison of approaches

•

Wundt

Biopsychology

•

Fight of flight

•

Biological rhythmns (circadian 16 marker)

•

Synaptic transmission

Research methods

•

Features of science

•

Design a study

For SLT, do you think we would need to know everything about Banduras study to just the main points?

I got a question. If i use recent research that no one uses will i get marked down if its still a relevant evaluation point ?

You’re allowed to use research you have found yourself

also it’s less likely there will be a 16 marker on biopsych (not zero chance) because they’ve asked 16 markers for the past 3 years - but aqa do whatever they want

•

highly subjective as it relies on an individuals subjective interpretation of their thoughts

•

Unfalsifiable as the mind cannot be accessed therefore cannot be proved wrong

•

Wundt’s research was highly influential as it allowed other psychologists to adopt scientific methodology such as controlled laboratory settings

•

Wundt allowed the conversion of experimental philosophy into psychology

•

Positive real life application - introspection is now used in treatments such as psychotherapy

Does anyone also have any evaluation for fight or flight response - so far this is what I have

•

gray et al - initial freeze response

•

Taylor et al - tend and befriend approach

•

Androcentric research

•

Evolutionary basis - maladaptive now - causes high blood pressure and problems with the heart

That's more than enough

introspection:
strengths:
+believes in controlled experiments, large samples, reliability
+scientific determinism helped the west move on from ‘religious’ explanations for mental disorders/conditions

limitations:
-unreliable methods: demand characteristics in controlled observations
-introspection confounds findings as it depends on a persons ability to self-report
-lab studies don’t offer insight into behaviour in a natural environment
-inferred data lacks objectivity
-introspection contradict’s kuhn’s theory that for something to be a science it needs a paradigm (introspection data is qualitative)

what is thematic analysis

"An inductive and qualitative approach to anaylsis that involves identifying implicit/explicit ideas within the data". It should be next to content analysis in your textbook.

For the comparisons of approaches, what points would you all make? I was just thinking of doing the ones from issues and debates (determinism/free will, nature/nurture, holism/reductionism and idiographic/nomothetic) but i've seen a few websites talk about the explanation of disorders and childhood development and stuff? Those all sound too specific imo so im just wondering if they're really gonna be worth learning.

i would stick to issues and debates and application based stuff (e.g cognitive app says depression is cognitive, led to therapies). thats more than enough to get the marks
