Analysing Issues & Debates The Specification What types of questions will AQA ask?

The Specification Titles Issues and Debates in Psychology 08.1 Gender and culture Gender and culture in psychology – universality and bias. Gender bias including androcentrism and alpha and beta bias; Cultural bias, including: ethnocentrism and cultural relativism.   08.2 Free will and determinism Free will and determinism: hard determinism and soft determinism; Biological Environmental Psychic determinism The scientific emphasis on causal explanations. 08.3 Nature vs nurture The nature-nurture debate: the relative importance of heredity and environment in determining behaviour; the interactionist approach. 08.4 Holism and reductionism Holism and reductionism: levels of explanation in psychology. Biological reductionism Environmental (stimulus-response) reductionism 08.5 Idiographic and nomothetic Idiographic and nomothetic approaches to psychological investigation. 08.6 Ethical implications of research Ethical implications of research studies and theory, including reference to social sensitivity. Ethical implications and guidelines are NOT the same thing. Ethical implications of research concern the way in which research impacts those who take part and that way the findings are communicated in to the public, in particular the findings of socially sensitive research. And socially sensitive research relates to studies which have a potential social consequence for the participants or individuals represented by the research.

IDA Sample Question Mapping Definition Short-Answer Question Evaluation Short-Answer Question Application Essay Compare/Contrast Essay?

Short-Answer Questions Definition SAQ: With reference to the item above, explain what is meant by ‘determinism’. Refer to three types of determinism in your answer. [6 marks] Evaluation SAQ: Briefly outline one problem associated with alpha bias in psychological research, and one problem associated with beta bias in psychological research. [4 marks]

Application Questions Application: 04 Read the item and then answer the question that follows. A prison psychologist used an idiographic approach to study offending. He asked two offenders to record their thoughts about their childhood and their offending behaviour in a journal over a period of four weeks. Qualitative analysis of the journals showed that the offenders often thought about sad childhood events and believed that their childhood experiences had influenced their offending. Findings from idiographic research like the study described above are often used as a basis for other investigations. Explain how the researcher might develop the above investigation through taking a nomothetic approach. [6 marks]

Essays Issues/Debates Essay Approaches Essay ‘The best way to understand and explain behaviour is to reduce it to the simplest component parts.’ In the context of the holism-reductionism debate, discuss this view. Refer to at least one topic in your answer. (Total 16 marks) Why can’t this one topic be approaches?   Approaches Essay Outline the psychodynamic approach in psychology. Discuss one or more differences between the psychodynamic approach and the humanistic approach. [8 marks] Why can’t this discussion be centred on issues and debates?

[8 marks] Activity 3: How to compare and contrast effectively… The aim of this activity is to provide students with a template for effective comparison using the familiar burger technique.

Psychodynamic vs. Humanist Difference: Which two approaches are you contrasting? Point One difference between the ___________________ approach and the ___________________ is … Example (Approach 1) The ___________________ approach suggests [Provide explanation of the difference you are going to discuss] … Explain (Approach 2) However, the ___________________ suggests [Explain how approach 2 is difference] …

Psychodynamic vs. Humanist

Psychodynamic vs. Humanist Difference: Which two approaches are you contrasting? Point Example (Approach 1) Explain (Approach 2) One difference between the psychodynamic approach and the humanist approach is the extent to which they argue that our behaviour is determined. The psychodynamic approach suggests that behaviour is determined by unconscious drives (e.g. the ID) and early childhood experiences, an idea termed psychic determinism. However, the humanist approach suggests that humans control their own environment and are capable of change. Therefore the humanist approach argues that humans have free-will while the psychodynamic approach suggest that our behaviour is determined.

Mapping Issues & Debates to Year 1 & 2 Topics Issues & Debates Student Topic Tables & GRENADE Example: Issues & Debates in Relationships

Mapping Issues & Debates to Year 1 Specification - Social Which Issue and Debate? Why? 01.1. Types of conformity Gender Bias - Beta bias Asch conducted his research with male participants and assumed that the findings would generalise equally to females.   01.2 Conformity to social roles & Zimbardo Gender Bias – Beta bias As above… 01.3 Explanations of obedience Culture Bias Milgram conducted his research in the US. Replications in other cultures have shown differences. 01.4 Dispositional explanations of obedience Nomothetic Approach Measuring personality characteristics (authoritarian personality) using a psychometric approach. 01.6 Minority influence Experimental Reductionism Complex behaviour reduced into isolated variables for research. The effects of minority influence in the real world are much more subtle and it tends to take a long time to have an effect.

Mapping Issues & Debates in Year 2 Relationships Which Issue and Debate? Why? 09.1 Evolutionary explanations Biological Determinism Social Sensitivity Views partner preferences as being due to genetic influences (biological determinism). Socially sensitive as can be see to justify behaviours such as male promiscuity and even rape.   09.2 Attraction Nomothetic Approach Filter theory seeks to formulate general laws of behaviour by suggesting that we all use a series of filters to narrow down the 'field of availables'. 09.3 Romantic relationships Cultural Bias - Ethnocentrism Most research into romantic relationships has been conducted in Western societies. Some research has suggested that equity is not as important in non-Western cultures. 09.4 Duck's phase model Social Sensitivity Carrying out research into relationship breakdown can potentially be intrusive and distressing for partipants. 09.6 Parasocial relationships Use of the Celebrity Attitude scale to identify levels of parasocial relationship is an example of a nomothetic, quantitative approach.
