RESEARCH METHODS (Section C) - Exam Paper Walk Through - June 2022 Paper 2

This video is an exam paper walk through of the June 2022 Paper 2 for AQA A-level Psychology. This is the first of three videos covering the three sections of the exam paper, with this video covering Section C: Research Methods.

Note - experimental designs (such as independent group designs) strictly speaking occur in experiments rather than observations (I made reference to it because it helps with the identification of statistical tests in terms of related and unrelated data).

Hi, just sat paper 2 psychology. Want to say a massive thank you for your help with the questions, the paper was quite nice (didn’t like the approaches until the 8 marker). Need a bit of reassurance tho for a 16 marker on discussing endogenous pacemakers and exogenous zeitgebers. For the evaluation, I talked about the chipmunk study and then said how it shows that the removal of endogenous pacemakers largely affects our biological rhythms. I then did a counter/limitation about generalisability from animals to humans (quite long and detailed). I then forgot to do a full eval about Siffre’s research and instead said what he found in a point and then said this was contradicted by research in the arctic circle etc. By not writing the evaluation point for Siffre so only doing the 3 or 2.5 eval (if you count a counter as a half) will this affect my score? So annoyed at myself!

Hi there, Tom. I've been following your videos for quite a while now, and I must say they're really good. You put in a lot of effort! I just have a quick question for you. As you must be aware, Paper 1 and Paper 2 of psychology have just passed, and I know I did really bad on them. I missed out on a lot of sections—I can't lie, it was nerves. When I checked the answers at home, I realised I made a lot of careless mistakes. So now I'm literally working my a** off for Paper 3. I wanted to know, if I did bad on the first two papers but do well on Paper 3, will I still get a grade? Or is it important to pass all three papers, like get a certain mark in order to get a grade? Please pleasee answer I would finally find motivation.

Many thanks sir. Please can you post one of those mini quizzes like you did gor paper1?

for Q15 I put the level of measurement as nominal data and justified it by saying that the previous behavioural categories when observing the social behaviour of the children were used to create the social behaviour score and therefore gave my final answer as Chi Squared - did I include enough appropriate justification to achieve the alternative marks as suggested by the markscheme?
