Three studies can cover three examples, including people from low socioeconomic status, racial minorities and women.<\/p>\n<p>I encourage my students to become experts on socioeconomic status as a risk factor for PTSD, since this can be used for sociocultural explanations <em><strong>or\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>prevalence rates.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13702 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/01\/SL-PAper-2-in-7-Studies-Abnormal-2.png?resize=720%2C405&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/01\/SL-PAper-2-in-7-Studies-Abnormal-2.png?w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/01\/SL-PAper-2-in-7-Studies-Abnormal-2.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/01\/SL-PAper-2-in-7-Studies-Abnormal-2.png?resize=100%2C56&amp;ssl=1 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I recommend revising the same studies for research methods and ethics to make these questions more manageable. For instance, anonymity is always relevant in correlational studies, especially those gathering sensitive data like symptoms of PTSD. The following three correlational studies could be used for an essay question on research methods and anonymity.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Note:\u00a0<\/strong>It is possible you could be asked for a second research method. In this case, be prepared to write briefly about Urry et al. as a true experiment. Similarly, be prepared to write about a second ethical consideration, like informed consent (also relevant to Urry et al.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13703 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/01\/SL-PAper-2-in-7-Studies-Abnormal3-.png?resize=720%2C405&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/01\/SL-PAper-2-in-7-Studies-Abnormal3-.png?w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/01\/SL-PAper-2-in-7-Studies-Abnormal3-.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/01\/SL-PAper-2-in-7-Studies-Abnormal3-.png?resize=100%2C56&amp;ssl=1 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Personally, I think Etiology of Abnormal Psychology lends itself to the best exam preparation. This is because it&#8217;s most logical how the three approaches are linked to this topic. Imagine how hard it would be to answer a question on how the biological approach is used to understanding factors influencing diagnosis. This is a potential question, albeit not a likely one.<\/p>\n<div  class=\"x-video embed with-container\" ><div class=\"x-video-inner\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GCNXLIPzQmg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Final Advice<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Now you&#8217;ve made the exams easier by limiting the studies, focus on the concepts.
