Referring to the conversation above, identify one factor that can influence bystander behaviour and suggest how it would have influenced bystander behaviour in this situation. [4 marks] Marks for this question: AO1 = 2 and AO2 = 2 Level Marks Description 2 Clear 3 – 4 AO1: Description of bystander behaviour is accurate with detail. AO2: There is effective application of one relevant factor that would affect bystander behaviour in context. Relevant terminology is used consistently throughout. The answer demonstrates a high level of substantiated reasoning, is clear, coherent and focused. 1 Basic 1 – 2 AO1: There is a limited description of bystander behaviour. AO2: There is a limited attempt to apply one relevant factor that would affect bystander behaviour. Relevant terminology is occasionally used. The answer occasionally demonstrates substantiated reasoning, but may lack clarity, coherence, focus and logical structure. 0 No relevant content. Examiners are reminded that AO1 and AO2 are regarded as interdependent. When deciding on a mark in instances where there is an attempt at more than one assessment objective all attempts should be considered together using the best fit approach. In doing so, examiners should bear in mind the relative weightings of the assessment objectives. MARK SCHEME – GCSE PSYCHOLOGY – 8182/2 – SAMS 5 When an answer only contains content related to one of the skills (AO1/AO2), then the levels descriptors for the award of marks for the skill attempted should be applied to the answer, up to the maximum mark available. Indicative content: AO1  Bystander behaviour refers to the actions a person may or may not take when they are a witness in an emergency situation.  The choice of action may depend on a number of factors which can increase or decrease the likelihood of the witness getting involved. AO2  Factors that would have increased bystander intervention to help the lady who collapsed include: similarity to the lady, very few or no other people present when she fell, low cost of helping.  Factors that would have either decreased bystander intervention or increased bystander apathy should also receive credit. These include; large numbers of others present, personal expertise. Students do not need to refer to both bystander intervention and bystander apathy to receive full credit. Accept other relevant factors that affect bystander behaviour. 03 Imagine that you have been asked to conduct a study to investigate social loafing.
