This has three content points. But so do the other two possible choices with this option.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#2: Clearer concepts and questions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As you can see in the above image taken straight from the IB Guide, we have unfortunately been given zero guidance or advice one what we need to know for each topic. The topics and content are just stated with no explanation, no learning outcomes or key questions. It&#8217;s up to us to figure it out.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes it&#8217;s obvious. For example, &#8220;Explanations for disorder(s).&#8221; It&#8217;s clear you have to be able to give a detailed explanation of the possible etiologies of one (or more) disorders. This is why it&#8217;s a good topic to choose. When you look at the diagnosis topic and &#8220;Classification systems,&#8221; it&#8217;s harder to figure out (but not impossible perhaps) what you should write about in the exam.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, take a look at the mess that is the developmental psych option below (I&#8217;ve written more about why this is a difficult option to study based on the new guide in this blog post &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/2017\/07\/04\/5-reasons-why-i-wouldnt-choose-the-development-option\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">5 reasons to be wary of choosing the development option<\/a>):<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13177\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13177\" class=\"wp-image-13177 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-31-at-10.33.18.png?resize=515%2C307&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"515\" height=\"307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-31-at-10.33.18.png?w=515&amp;ssl=1 515w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-31-at-10.33.18.png?resize=300%2C179&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/07\/Screen-Shot-2020-07-31-at-10.33.18.png?resize=100%2C60&amp;ssl=1 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 515px) 100vw, 515px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-13177\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The developmental option is filled with pitfalls if you&#8217;re not careful.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Have a look at the messy first topic. You have cognitive\u00a0<em>and\u00a0<\/em>social development and then you have topics like role of peers and play. So what would an exam question look like? &#8220;Discuss the role of peers and play on cognitive and social development.&#8221; That&#8217;s a lot to explain because you&#8217;ve got two factors explaining two outcomes. It&#8217;s very messy.<\/p>\n<p>The developing as a learner option is more straightforward &#8211; you discuss factors that influence cognitive development and others that affect brain development.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Do be warned that they might ask for &#8220;theories of cognitive development.&#8221; This was asked in May 2019 even though there is absolutely no mention of this anywhere in the guide. But now we know.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>#3 Linking the three approaches\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to remember that the three approaches (biological, cognitive and sociocultural) could be asked in relation to each of the topics. For the topics I have recommended it&#8217;s really easy to see how (a) the question could be asked and (b) how you would answer it. For example, for etiologies you revise one bio, one cog and one social or cultural etiology of the disorder. Boom. Done. For development, the two sub-topics are already covering two of the approaches, and then you simply add a third sociocultural factor that could affect either of these (e.g. links between socioeconomic status and brain development, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/2018\/11\/30\/socio-cultural-etiology-of-ptsd-socioeconomic-status\/\">Luby et al.<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>For some of the other topics, it&#8217;s sometimes impossible to understand how the approaches could be linked to the topic. Sure, they&#8217;re probably not going to ask it as an exam question then but that&#8217;s a risk I&#8217;d rather not take. For example, how would biological factors influence diagnosis? According to the guide, this is a question you&#8217;d have to be prepared to answer if you chose this topic. This is why I&#8217;d rather stick with etiologies.<\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 3013px;\" width=\"878\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"595\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Paper 2 Exam Topics \u2013 One Example Per Option<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Students need to be prepared to write about the topics\/content, the three approaches, research methods and ethics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can download this table <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/2020\/07\/31\/the-best-topics-for-paper-2\/exam-topics-in-paper-two-examples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"attachment noopener wp-att-13174 noreferrer\">here.<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"595\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Abnormal Psychology \u2013 Etiologies of Psychology Disorders<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You can choose to study one\u00a0<em>or more\u00a0<\/em>disorders.
