We have updated this revision support document to provide information on the
modifications that were made to course assessments (coursework and exams) at the start
of academic year 2021–22
...
This helped reduce the volume of assessment and provide
more time for learning and teaching, while maintaining the integrity and credibility of the
qualifications
...
For
example, extensive modifications made at the start of academic year 2021–22, such as
identifying content that would or would not be assessed, and/or removing parts of an exam
paper, limit the amount of additional revision support that can be provided without
undermining the integrity and credibility of the qualification
...

The type of modification(s) and revision support for this course are summarised below:
♦ Modifications made at start of session:
Question paper reduced for 2021-22 and guidance provided on the assignment
♦ Revision support for exam:
Study guide
A summary table that shows the modifications we made to each course, alongside the
revision support, is available on SQA’s website
...
If you have any questions about the modifications for this course
please speak to your teacher, lecturer or training provider

2022 revision support for learners:
Higher Psychology
Guidance for the 2022 exam
You can use the following information to help you plan your revision and prepare for the 2022
Higher Psychology exam
...
There will be two sections: Individual Behaviour
and Social Behaviour, and both sections will be worth 30 marks each
...
Questions in the Individual Behaviour section will be on the topic
of Sleep and Dreams, and questions in the Social Behaviour section will be on the topic of
Conformity and Obedience
...
You could highlight or
underline the question type and key topic of the question, for example:
Question: Explain psychodynamic processes as they relate to sleep and dreams
...
Where
you are asked to ‘explain’, you need to give the key features of a concept, theory or study,
and you also need to give reasons ‘why’, or ‘how’ this works
...
If you ‘describe’ rather than ‘explain’, you will gain a
maximum of half of the marks available
...
If you do not make this connection in your answer, you will gain few, if any,
marks
...
The ego defends us from the anxiety produced by dreams by
using defence mechanisms
...

Freud suggests that dreams provide a psychic safety valve to discharge
unacceptable feelings: the true desire may be hidden behind symbols to protect
the dreamer from anxiety

— The following answer shows a clear understanding of psychodynamic processes
but does not relate to sleep and dreams
...
The id is the
animalistic part of us that demands immediate gratification, the ego operates on
the reality principle, and the superego is like the angel on our shoulder
...
He
also said that our personalities develop over five psychosexual stages: the oral,
the anal, the phallic, latency and genital
...
’
— The following answer describes but does not explain psychodynamic processes
as they relate to sleep and dreams
...
A question
that asks you to ‘describe’ requires you to provide the key features of a theory,
concept or study, but not to provide further explanatory detail:
‘The ego defends us from the anxiety produced by dreams
...
The story of the dream is the manifest
content
...

There are 2 marks available for each strength or weakness that you provide; one for
providing the strength or weakness, the other for saying why this is a strength or
weakness
...

 When you are asked to explain a concept or theory with reference to behaviour in a
scenario, you will gain marks by explaining features of the concept or theory, then
explaining what part of the behaviour shown in the scenario those features relate to
...
If
you cannot find a feature in the scenario, you could suggest how it could apply
...
This will help you retain the
material in your memory, help you to recall it quickly, and it can also help you differentiate
between theories and concepts
