TRANSCRIPT
What remains the same?
Structure:o Combination of SAQs, ERQs, with Methods Paper 3 and IAo Core of Approaches: Biological, Cognitive and Socioculturalo Options: Abnormal Psychology, Development, Health, Human
Relationships (and a lot of the content).
Weighting of SL:o Paper 1 = 50%, Paper 2 = 25%, IA = 25%
Many command terms:o Describe, Outline, Explain, Discuss, Evaluate, To what extent?SAMPLE
What has changed?
Assessment criteriao SAQs /9o ERQs/22, but with 5 criteriao Methods (P3 HL) /24 with static questionso IAs same for HL and SL /22 with 4 criteria
SAMPLE
What has changed?
Contento AHL extension topics in the coreo Content changed in core and optionso Research methods given 20 hrs for SL and 60 hrs for HL. Like ethics, should be
threaded through the course.o New command terms, mainly to be used in Paper 3 and IA: comment, suggest,
design, investigate, predict.o Compare and contrast is now contrast.o Paper 3 can now be quantitative/mixed/qualitative research methods

A look at the assessment criteria – Paper 3
Static questions – what are they? Fixed questions that will come up.Q1 – all three of these questions will be asked, for a total of 9 points.They will be assessed using an analytical markscheme, relevant for thatparticular paper.
SAMPLE
A look at the assessment criteria – Paper 3
Q2 – will be one of the following two questions, again assessed, by ananalytical markscheme.
* ‘additional’ will be added to Q2, so it becomes ‘…and explain additional ethical considerations that could be taken into account…’SAMPLE
Paper 3 Q3 – will be one of the following 3 questions. It will be assessed using a standard rubric
Top band of Q3 marking criterion
SAMPLE
What will the exam questions be like?
POSSIBLY….SAQ examples:1. Explain one study into localisation of brain function.2. Describe one bias in thinking and decision-making.3. Outline one study into stereotyping.
ERQ examples:4. To what extent can the action of hormones explain humanbehaviour?5. Contrast two models of memory.6. Evaluate one theory into cultural influences on individual attitudes,identity and behaviours.SAMPLE
The new IA requirements - overview
Before Group work optional Replicated study had to be an experiment
Only lab experiments allowed Only one DV to be measured
HL & SL different SL – 1000-1500 words HL- 1500-2000 words Assessed using 9 criteria (HL) /28 and 7
criteria (SL) /20 Hours = 30 (SL) and 40 (HL)
After
Group work mandatory (2-4 students) Replicated study can be of any type, but must
be conducted as an experiment
Field experiments allowed More than one DV may be measured
HL & SL the same (both with inferential stats). Both 1800-2200 words
Assessed using 4 criteria /22
Hours = 20 for bothSAMPLE
Assessing the IA
1. INTRODUCTION (6 MARKS) – including aim and hypotheses(containing IV and DV)
2. EXPLORATION (4 MARKS) – design section, including procedure.Jointly put together, though individually written.
3. ANALYSIS (6 MARKS) – results, both descriptive and inferential.Must be written separately. No sharing of results or calculationswithin the group.
4. EVALUATION (6 MARKS) – discussion of findings, strengths andlimitations of the design, justification of proposed modifications.SAMPLE
Planning for the IA

Be flexible
K.I.S.S
Use the extra RM
time
Beware: ethics and academic honesty!

NEW IB PSYCHOLOGY PAPER 1-STYLE QUESTIONS (SL)
PSYCHOLOGY
PAPER 1 will contain 3 compulsory SAQs, one from each option, and 3 essay questions (ERQs), one from each option, of which one only should be answered.
Short-Answer Questions (SAQs) Biological Approach 1. Describe the effect of pheromones on one human behaviour. [9 marks] Cognitive Approach 2. Outline one theory of thinking and decision-making, referring to one relevant study in your answer. [9 marks] Sociocultural Approach 3. Explain the effect of one cultural dimension on one human behaviour. [9 marks]
Extended Response Questions (ERQs) Biological Approach 4. To what extent can the findings of genetic research explain human behaviour? [22 marks] Cognitive Approach 5. Evaluate research into the reliability of one cognitive process, referring to at least two relevant studies. [22 marks] Sociocultural Approach 6. Contrast two theories of the influences of culture on individual attitudes, identity and behaviours. [Note: there is an agreed overlap between attitudes, identities and behaviours, so there is no need to differentiate between them, unless one wishes to]. [22 marks]

NEW IB PSYCHOLOGY PAPER 3-STYLE STIMULUS MATERIAL
PSYCHOLOGY
The stimulus material below is based on a Scandinavian study conducted in Norway and Sweden, investigating how males recover from eating disorders.
Stimulus
5
While a lot has been written about females and their recovery from eating disorders, the researchers wanted to explore the nature of recovery in males, where there is a gap in the literature. The aim of the study was to investigate what males find helpful in their recovery process from eating disorders. Eligible participants were former male patients who
10
had completed their treatment for a (DSM-Iv eating disorder, and who had experienced recovery. We approached specialised eating disorder units in Norway or Sweden to help identify such patients and deliver study information. We did not ask the units for formal documentation according to the routines for diagnosing and there was no formal diagnostic interview for the purpose of the study.
15
Qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 males aged between 19 and 52 years old (mean age of 23 years). Their duration of illness varied between 3 and 25 years. Ten of them had experienced anorexia nervosa, four had suffered from bulimia nervosa and one had experienced an unspecified eating disorder. The 15 participants gave their written informed consent to be interviewed by the
20
researchers for about 1-2 hours about their experiences of recovery. Every interview was recorded and transcribed and was guided by the question “What was helpful for you in your recovery process?” Geographical distances made it convenient to perform interviews at the participants’ home town, at a location chosen by them. The participants came from all socioeconomic strata, and all had
25
received a wide range of treatments at eating disorder clinics as both inpatients and outpatients. Treatments tried were medication, individual, group or family treatments, dietary advice and physiotherapy. Although the interviews took a narrative form, and details of any psychological conditions were not asked for, the interviewees often volunteered such
30
information. Inductive content analysis was carried out on the transcriptions and several themes were identified. The researchers then discussed the results of the analysis until they agreed on four main themes: the need for change; commitment to leave the eating disorder behind; interpersonal changes; and searching for a life without the eating
disorder. These categories depicted a timeline of gradual control over the eating disorder from a chaotic feeling of powerlessness to a complete rethinking of their own identity and life goals.
