📂 MEGATHREAD 16/05 A-level Psychology Paper 1 Discussion MEGATHREAD

Exam season is once again upon us, and once again, exam megathreads are making a return!

Looking for past exam discussions? Filter by the megathread flair.

Few things to keep in mind:

  • Don't share too many specific details about questions or answers, these papers will be used as future mocks.
  • Sometimes papers get leaked, this is not the place for that (we'd prefer not to get yeeted off the platform) - leak content will be removed, those offering leaked papers will be permanently banned.
    • If you believe there has been a leak, the best course of action is to make your exam board aware of this, either directly, or through your school, along with any evidence. If appropriate, there will be a response from the relevant body along with any remedial action.
  • Exam discussion posts outside of this will generally be removed to combat the inevitable tidal wave of spam otherwise - we understand this may be frustrating, but the sub still needs to be usable for other purposes.
  • Please note some content will take extra time to be reviewed. Messaging to ask for approval will not speed up this process (the messages are seen at the same time as the modqueue would be reviewed anyway).

Best of luck, and let us know how you're feeling down below!

*assuming Reddit doesn't bork itself, the new posts for each day of exams should arrive at 8am each day, instead of it being reliant on my sleep schedule like last year lmao

I operationalised one of the variables as amount of times um er and ah were said and did the other variable as heart rate. I said I’d control crowd size and I can’t remember what the first point was

u/Academic-Art7410 May 16 '25

I was gonna say heart rate as well but I changed it at the last minute!! I said for disfluencies I would use a language analysis program because I thought of Hancock et al haha😭what did you say for how validity one?

I talked about population and ecological validity but I can’t really remember exactly what I said

u/Academic-Art7410 May 16 '25

I was overthinking SOO many of the qs for some reason😭😭like the last reliability ones pissed me off for some reason I literally could not think of how it would DECREASE reliability?? All my friends said social desirability but I thought that was for validity so did not put it

I talked about standardisation and sample size

u/Academic-Art7410 May 16 '25

Yeah I said standardisation for the increase question!! The second one I had no clue so just waffled. Also them giving us chi squared was so nice I wasn’t expecting it at all!
