Summary Psychological Research Semester 1

This study letter contains answers and explanations of the correct options for each question in Assignment 02. Information on the format of the exam is provided in Tutorial Letter 102. That letter also contains additional exercises, with answers, which you can use to test yourself in preparing for the exam. The questions in the two assignments and those at the end of each topic in the Study Guide for PYC3704 should be used as part of your preparation for the exam. We suggest that you try to do the questions from the Guide and the assignments without looking up the answers. In this way you will see which questions you can answer, and which ones you cannot answer. This will help you to identify the difficult questions, and force you to rethink the reasons for the answers. Pay special attention to the explanations we provide, since this will give you an indication of the weak spots in your own understanding of the material in the Study Guide. Do not attempt to memorise the questions and their answers. Rather try to understand the explanations for the correct option in each question. If you did not receive pass marks for the assignments, you will have to work much harder if you want to pass the exam
