PSYCH PAPER 1
attachment
animal studies
Lorenz, imprinting on geese
Guiton et al. (1966) birds imprinting on rubber gloves did later prefer their own species. Imprinting on mating behaviour isn't as permanent as Lorenz suggested.
-
Harlow, rhesus monkeys
critical period for monkeys, 90 days
-
Howe (1988) Harlow's research has helped social workers to understand impacts of child abuse and neglect and how to prevent it. Also helpful for zoos.

Strange situation (1969)
Van Ijzendoorn and Kroonenberg cultural variations,
type B most common in Britain, 75%, least common in China (50%)
type A most common in Germany at 35%, least common in Japan (5%)
Type C most common in Israel, 30%, least common in Britain (3%)
1,990 participants, 32 studies, 15 in America
-
Ainsworth, studied attachment
found 3 types: type A, insecure-avoidant, 20-25% of toddlers, type B, secure, 60-75% of toddlers, type C, 3% of British toddlers
Main and Solomon (1986) suggested type D, disorganised attachment, a mix of resistant and avoidant behaviours
-
Maternal deprivation
Bowlby's 44 Juvenile Thieves, 14 out of 44 affectionless psychopaths, 12 out of 14 were deprived, only 5 out of remaining 30 experienced separations
Hilda Lewis, replicated with sample of 500, in her study, early prolonged separation, didn't predict criminality
Levy (2003) showed that separating baby rats from their mother for as little as a day had a permanent effect on their social development
Romanian orphans
Zeanah (2005) Bucharest Early Intervention project. 74% control group type B. 19% of institutional group type B, 65% disorganised
Rutter's English and Romanian orphanage study (2011), average IQ at 11yrs old- adopted before 6mths, 102, 6mths-2yrs 86, after 2yrs, 77
Rutter (2006), type D (disinhibited), infants are equally friendly and affectionate towards people they know well, and strangers they've just met.
Langton (2006), improving care, key-workers to develop normal attachment

social influence
obedience
-
-
legitimacy of authority
Kilham and Mann (1974), 16% in Australia, Mantell, 85% in Germany, (to full 450V) different societies have different perceptions of authority, and cross-cultural research findings increase the validity of the explanation
-
agentic state
Blass and Schmitt (2001) when shown a film of Milgram's study, pps blamed the experimenter rather than the participant
-
minority influence
Nemeth (1986), flexibility, ski accident, group of 4 (one confederate) deciding on compensation. Inflexible condition, minority had no effect on majority. Flexible condition- majority likely to compromise and go lower
Moscovici , when minority was inconsistent, conformity dropped from 32% to 1.25%
Wood et al. carried out meta-analysis of similar studies to Moscovici et al, and found that minorities who were seen as consistent were most influential.
psychopathology
-
OCD
Lewis et al (1937), 37% parents, 21% siblings
Hu (2006) compared 169 OCD sufferers to 253 non-sufferers, found lower serotonin levels in OCD sufferers
Nestdat (2010) twin studies, MZ 68%, DZ 31%
-
Soomro et al (2009), effectiveness for SSRIs compared with placebo, found 70% effectiveness
Taylor (2013), 230 candidate genes
Szechtman et al (1988), animals given dopamine enhancing drugs stereotyped movements resembling compulsions in OCD
Pigott et al (1990) - Antidepressants work on serotonin system, and decrease OCD symptoms (link)
Phobias
Mowrer two-process model
Little Albert, CC to fear white rats
Di Gallo - 20% of those experiencing traumatic car accidents developed a phobia of travelling in cars at high speeds (CC), and avoided travelling in cars (OC)
Wolpe (1960), girl forced in car for 4hrs

memory
MSM

Shallice and Warrington, patient KF
-
Duration LTM Bahrick et al (1975), 90% accuracy after 15 years, 70% accuracy after 48 years for photo recognition. Free recall- 60% accuracy after 15yrs, 30% accuracy after 48 years
Duration of STM, Peterson and Peterson, trigrams, 18 seconds
capacity of STM
Jacobs (1887), digit span 9.3 items, span for letters 7.3 items
Miller (1956) things come in 7s, so 7 +/_ 2
-
WMM
-
Logie, VSS divided into VS and inner scribe
Shallice and Warrington, patient KF, poor ability for verbal info, but memory for visual info not affected (suggests damage to PL)
-
Braver et al. (1997), brain scan whilst performing tasks, greater activity in prefrontal cortex as activities got harder
EWT

-
Milne and Bull (2002) effectiveness, context reinstatement & report everything more useful than other aspects, don't have to use full CI
Kohnken (1999) 81% more accurate info, 61% more inaccurate info
