The week involved daily staff netball matches during breaktimes and a step count challenge. Two of the teachers were talking at the end of the week. Miss Honey said, “That was such a great week! I felt proud to win the staff step count challenge and receive the medal in assembly and demonstrate the joy of sport. My students loved watching us compete, I really think it will inspire them to be more active themselves!” Mrs Wilson replied, “It’s alright for you, you’re young and the students like you. My students were so embarrassed to see me tripping over in netball. I think I may have put them off sport forever!” Apart from mediational processes, use your knowledge of social learning theory to explain Miss Honey’s and Mrs Wilson’s comments.

A controlled observation was designed to compare the social behaviours of pre-school children of working parents and pre-school children of stay-at-home parents. The sample consisted of 100 children aged three, who were observed separately. Half of the children had working parents and the other half had stay-at-home parents. The observation took place in a room which looked like a nursery, with a variety of toys available. In the room, there were four children and one supervising adult. Their behaviour was not recorded. Each child participant was brought into the room and settled by their parent. The parent then left to sit outside. Each child participant’s behaviour was observed covertly for five minutes while they played in the room. The observation was conducted in a controlled environment and a standardised script was used when the children and their parents arrived. 0 9 Explain why the researcher used a controlled observation and a standardised script in this study. [4 marks] 1 0 Identify one limitation of controlled observations. [1 mark] 14 *14* IB/G/Jun22/7182/2 Do not write outside the The researcher used two trained observers to record the social behaviours of each child box during the observation. 1 1 Give two behavioural categories that the observers could have used in the observation to assess the pre-school children’s social behaviour. Explain why your chosen categories are appropriate. [4 marks] 1 2 Describe how the observers could use time sampling to record the social behaviour of each child during the five-minute period. [4 marks] 15 *15* Turn over ► IB/G/Jun22/7182/2 Do not write outside the 1 3 box Explain one strength and one limitation of using time sampling for this observation. [4 marks] 1 4 Explain how the reliability of the controlled observation could be assessed through inter-observer reliability. [4 marks] Turn over for the next question 16 *16* IB/G/Jun22/7182/2 Do not write outside the The data from the observation was summarised by converting the number of agreed box observations into a total social behaviour score for each child. The researcher then conducted a statistical test to identify whether there was a significant difference between the social behaviour scores for the children of stay-at-home parents and those of working parents. 1 5 Identify an appropriate statistical test that the researcher could use to analyse the social behaviour scores in this study. Explain three reasons for your choice in the context of this study. [7 marks] Extra space 17 *17* Turn over ► IB/G/Jun22/7182/2 Do not write outside the 1 6 box Explain one reason why collecting quantitative data could reduce the validity of this study. [2 marks] The findings of this study might have implications for the economy. 1 7 Explain one or more possible implications of this study for the economy. [3 marks] This study was written up as a scientific report. 1 8 Describe features of the abstract section in a scientific report. [3 marks] Turn over for the next question 18 *18* IB/G/Jun22/7182/2 Do not write outside the A new TV programme has been developed to increase positive social behaviours in box pre-school children. There is a proposal to carry out an experiment to compare the effects of the new TV programme and an existing TV programme, on positive social behaviours in pre-school children. A sample of 500 pre-school children and their parents is available for the experiment. The parents have given consent for their children to take part in this experiment. The experiment will take place over an 8-week period. Data on the children’s social behaviours will be gathered from the parents using a self-report method. 1 9 Design the experiment to investigate whether watching the new TV programme leads to an increase in positive social behaviours in the children, compared with watching the existing TV programme. In your answer you will gain credit for providing appropriate details of the following: • the type of experimental design, with justification • a self-report method of data collection, with justification • how to control one extraneous variable, with justification as to why this would need to be controlled.

This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the standardisation events which all associates participate in and is the scheme which was used by them in this examination. The standardisation process ensures that the mark scheme covers the students’ responses to questions and that every associate understands and applies it in the same correct way. As preparation for standardisation each associate analyses a number of students’ scripts. Alternative answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed and legislated for. If, after the standardisation process, associates encounter unusual answers which have not been raised they are required to refer these to the Lead Examiner. It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and expanded on the basis of students’ reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future mark schemes on the basis of one year’s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular examination paper.

MARK SCHEME – A-LEVEL PSYCHOLOGY – 7182/2 – JUNE 2022 3 Level of response marking instructions Level of response mark schemes are broken down into levels, each of which has a descriptor. The descriptor for the level shows the average performance for the level. There are marks in each level. Before you apply the mark scheme to a student’s answer read through the answer and annotate it (as instructed) to show the qualities that are being looked for. You can then apply the mark scheme. Step 1 Determine a level Start at the lowest level of the mark scheme and use it as a ladder to see whether the answer meets the descriptor for that level. The descriptor for the level indicates the different qualities that might be seen in the student’s answer for that level. If it meets the lowest level then go to the next one and decide if it meets this level, and so on, until you have a match between the level descriptor and the answer. With practice and familiarity, you will find that for better answers you will be able to quickly skip through the lower levels of the mark scheme. When assigning a level you should look at the overall quality of the answer and not look to pick holes in small and specific parts of the answer where the student has not performed quite as well as the rest. If the answer covers different aspects of different levels of the mark scheme you should use a best fit approach for defining the level and then use the variability of the response to help decide the mark within the level, ie if the response is predominantly level 3 with a small amount of level 4 material it would be placed in level 3 but be awarded a mark near the top of the level because of the level 4 content. Step 2 Determine a mark Once you have assigned a level you need to decide on the mark. The descriptors on how to allocate marks can help with this. The exemplar materials used during standardisation will help. Answers in the standardising materials will correspond with the different levels of the mark scheme. These answers will have been awarded a mark by the Lead Examiner. You can compare the student’s answer with the standardised examples to determine if it is the same standard, better or worse than the example. You can then use this to allocate a mark for the answ [Show More]
