7 Possible Essay Questions 27 Potential Essay Questions from Exam Pro & Textbooks! Why on earth did you choose stress?
8 Examiner Commentary Examiner commentary provides some insight into the following four questions: Outline and evaluate research into life changes and / or daily hassles as sources of stress. (Total 16 marks) Q3. There are several methods used to manage the negative effects of stress. These methods can be biological or psychological. Discuss two or more methods of stress management. (Total 16 marks) Q4. What is meant by locus of control and hardiness? Discuss the role of locus of control and the role of hardiness in mediating responses to stress. Refer to evidence in your answer.(total 16 marks) Q5. Outline and evaluate research into the relationship between the immune system and stress-related illness. (Total 12 marks)
9 Life Changes and / or Daily Hassles Outline and evaluate research into life changes and / or daily hassles as sources of stress. (Total 16 marks) Knowledge Many students confused the way the SRRS was constructed with the way it has been used, for example, in the Rahe et al. study Evaluation Evaluation was generic and repetitive: simply saying that each study lacked population validity does not provide an effective evaluation. It was also disappointing that few students made use of all the research into daily hassles, which could be used to evaluate life changes.
10 Life Changes and / or Daily Hassles Outline and evaluate research into life changes and / or daily hassles as sources of stress. (Total 16 marks) What can we learn? AO1: Students need to be clear on the development of the SRRS and its use in research. AO1: Students should NOT avoid research into Daily Hassles. AO3: Students need to tailor evaluation to the question e.g. why is a lack of population validity an issue for research into life changes? AO3: Students can use Daily Hassles as an evaluation of Life Changes.
11 Activity 1: Investigating Stress Activity 1: Investigating Stress The aim of this activity is to provide an opportunity for students to consider the difficulties with examining stress, while embedding research methods.
12 Activity 1: Investigating Stress
13 Activity 1: Investigating Stress
14 I must design an instrument for measuring the relationship between stressful life events and illness
15 Activity 2: Life Changes (Part 1) Activity 2: Life Changes (Part 1) The aim of this activity is for students to consider the development of the SRRS and consider the strengths / limitations of this instrument.
16 Activity 2: Life Changes (Part 1) Activity 2: Life Changes (Part 1) Provide students with 9 statements. Cut out and arrange the statements in order from most to least stressful. Discussion: Compare their answers, in groups.
17 Activity 2: Life Changes (Part 1) At this point provide the students with the right answers.
18 Activity 2: Life Changes (Part 2) Activity 2: Life Changes (Part 2) Provide your students with a full copy of the LCU inventory and ask them to circle those which apply. They then calculate their total LCU score. Note: Be sensitive.
19 Stress Management There are several methods used to manage the negative effects of stress. These methods can be biological or psychological. Discuss two or more methods of stress management. (Total 16 marks) Knowledge Evaluation If a candidate offers two types of drug treatment, they must clearly differentiate the two. Evaluation was often generic: with comments simply stating that drugs are effective, without any supporting evidence. Easier and clearer to discuss one biological and one psychological method of stress management. Or that drugs had side effects, without commenting on what these were and the potential problem.
20 Stress Management There are several methods used to manage the negative effects of stress. These methods can be biological or psychological. Discuss two or more methods of stress management. (Total 16 marks) What can we learn? AO1: Students can describe two drugs treatments and/or two psychological treatments, however they must CLEARLY differentiate. Easier and clearer to discuss one biological and one psychological. AO1: Biological treatments include: BZs, Beta-blockers, Biofeedback AO1: Psychological treatments include: Stress inoculation therapy and hardiness training AO1: There needs to be a reasonable balance between the two methods AO3: Evaluation could include: effectiveness, availability, long-term vs. short-term, evidence, side effects, cost effectivenss. AO3: If stating drugs are more effective, supporting evidence is required. Likewise, if stating drugs have side-effects the answer must include commentary.
21 Activity 3: Stressful Evaluation Activity 3: Stressful Evaluation The aim of this activity is to develop truly effective evaluation when it comes to evaluation biological and psychological therapies, using the points detailed in the mark scheme: Effectiveness Availability & Cost Effectiveness Long-term vs. Short-term Effect Evidence Side Effects
22 Activity 3: Stressful Evaluation Effectiveness, Availability, Long-term vs. Short-term Effect, Evidence, Side Effects & Cost Effectiveness Effectiveness: Research suggests that drugs are effective BZs are associated with side effects like agitation and aggressiveness. Beta blockers have been linked with an increased chance of develop diabetes. Side Effects: BZs and Beta blockers have negative side effects Short-term: Drugs treat the symptoms but not the cause Drugs like BZs and Beta blockers simply mask the symptoms. Therefore, there is a high chance of relapse once the person stops taking the drug. Lockwood (1989) examined 2,000 professional musicians and found that 27% reported taking beta blockers to reduce the stress associated with performing.
23
24 Cost: Drugs are cost effective Compared to other treatments (e.g. biofeedback which requires specialist equipment), drugs like BZs and Beta blockers are cost effective, as they do no require a therapist to administer. Point Cost & Availability: One strength of drug therapies as a method of stress management is that they are cost effective in comparison to other, typically psychological treatments, and are readily available. Evidence/ Example Compared to other treatments (e.g. biofeedback which requires specialist equipment), drugs like BZs and Beta blockers are cost effective, as they do not require a therapist to administer and can be administered instantly. Explain This matters because it saves the NHS money and therefore means that more people can receive treatment. In addition, drugs can be prescribed instantly whereas many psychological treatments have lengthy waiting lists. This means that patients who require treatment can receive instant treatment while waiting for psychological therapies to become available, which highlights two positive uses of drug therapies as a method for stress management.
25 Activity 4: ESCAPE Evaluation Activity 4: ESCAPE Evaluation The aim of this activity is to provide students with a template to aid evaluation. While this activity was designed for schizophrenia, the idea/template works perfectly for stress.
26 Activity 4: ESCAPE Evaluation Activity 4: ESCAPE Evaluation Teaching Strategy: Each student works on one letter finding the information from their notes, the textbook or prior knowledge. Students then combine their work to create one super poster! Students then select three points and write full developed (and signposted) burger paragraphs.
27 Locus of Control & Hardiness What is meant by locus of control and hardiness? Discuss the role of locus of control and the role of hardiness in mediating responses to stress. Refer to evidence in your answer. (Total 16 marks) Knowledge The multiple requirements of this question evidently caused difficulties for some who focussed much more on one concept than the other. Evaluation Discussion tended to focus on evidence rather than on the concepts, with some evaluation points repeated several times but in relation to different studies. In some answers that students discussed the effects of Type A personality and NOT locus of control and hardiness.
28 Locus of Control & Hardiness What is meant by locus of control and hardiness? Discuss the role of locus of control and the role of hardiness in mediating responses to stress. Refer to evidence in your answer. (Total 16 marks) What can we learn? AO1 & AO3: Students need to address all aspects of the question (e.g. both locus of control and hardiness). AO3: Evaluation could include: how these variables mediate stress, negative effects of high internal LoC, self-report measures, correlation, gender differences, however, they MUST be linked to the question.
29 Activity 5: Examining LoC & Hardiness Activity 5: Examining LoC & Hardiness The aim of these two questionnaires is to provide students with an opportunity to apply LoC and Hardiness to themselves, before considering the strengths/limitations of these instruments.
30 Activity 5: Examining LoC & Hardiness Activity 5: Examining LoC & Hardiness The aim of these two questionnaires is to provide students with an opportunity to apply LoC and Hardiness to themselves, before considering the strengths/limitations of these instruments.
31 Immune System Outline and evaluate research into the relationship between the immune system and stress-related illness. (Total 12 marks) Knowledge The other difficulty for many candidates was selecting the appropriate material, many seemed to think that any study on stress would be relevant. Evaluation Many struggled with the commentary, often resorting to cook book evaluation, e.g. it only used students so you can t generalise. Candidates should also think before citing ethical grounds; for example the common cold is, for the most part, not a lifethreatening illness!
32 Immune System Outline and evaluate research into the relationship between the immune system and stress-related illness. (Total 12 marks) What can we learn? AO1: Likely research/theory, includes: Cohen et al; Kiecolt-Glaser et al. AO3: Students should avoid cook book evaluation, which was often repetitive, such as it only used students so you can t generalise. AO3: Evaluation could include: methodological issues, issues with correlational research, natural experiments, sampling bias, BUT it must be linked to the question. AO3: Students should be cautious when using ethical issues as an evaluative point: Cohen did obtain full informed consent from the volunteers and they certainly knew that there was the risk of getting a cold. Similarly, the common cold is, for the most part, not a life-threatening illness!
