Question 1(a) • Low level question • 2 marks + 2 marks • Be clear with your answer: • 1 mark for stating criteria • 1 mark for elaboration
Question 1(a) • Name all the 6 criteria for Jahoda’s definition of ideal mental health: • Master of environment • Self actualisation • Autonomy • Integration • Accurate perception of relaity

Question 1(b) • A02 question • 1 mark for stating definition • 1 mark for elaboration
Question 1(b) • Two (easy) possible answers: • Criteria could be seen as too strict • Definition may lack cultural relativity
Question 2 • 4 marks = A01 • 5 minutes • Content: • Main assumptions – 1 sentence • CC / OC / SLT – probably not all 3 in 5 minutes (choose 2)
Question 2 • Chief examiners comment: ‘Some candidates failed to gain full marks because they did not make the link with psychopathology.’ What is your target based on this feedback?
Question 2 - Mark scheme • 2 marks for identifying at least 2 features • 2 marks for further elaboration • For full marks there must be a link to psychopathology.
Question 2 • CC – phobias • A UCS (e.g. feeling pain) spontaneously produces a UCR (e.g. feeling fear). • If the UCS is frequently associated with a NS (stung by a wasp), this then eventually becomes the CS • The CS (stung by a wasp) will then produce the CS of feeling fear • According to CC, the individual has learned to associate wasps with fear and therefore the phobia is learned
Question 2 • SLT – eating disorders • Anorexia can be learned through observing similar role models • By observing underweight role models (celebrities) receive positive reinforcement for being so thin (e.g. social approval, praise), individuals form mental representation of receiving similar rewards (vicarious learning) so imitate behaviour
