AP Psychology Discussion - 2011

<p>for fovea vision, i wrote how nearsightedness and farsightedness affects the vision of the participants, in that they cant see clearly and it will affect their responses. does that work?</p>

<p>Did you refer to the fovea? If not, I don’t think you could get credit, sorry. :(</p>

<p>ah, i dont think i was specific enough -_- oh and, what about self efficacy?</p>

<p>Self-efficacy is a lot like self-confidence. If you have a high self-efficacy you believe you can perform a task and perform it really well. Thus, Savannah’s high self-efficacy would have caused her to believe she performed the task well and met her goal of doing excellently on the exam, when she may have actually done worse.</p>

<p>i wrote about her having overconfidence. no?</p>

<p>Yayy, I got Biology as well.</p>

<p>EDIT: on the concept of Self-efficacy, I wrote about how being confident in one’s self can make her perform better which will in turn lead to being more confident. Is that acceptable? haha completely bs’d</p>

<p>On the other hand, I didn’t even write a single word about Fovea vision… No clue lol</p>

<p>^^Having a high self-efficacy and being overconfident are, in this specific case anyway, essentially the same thing, so you might get the point. I can’t say for sure though, as I am not an AP grader. I hope you do get the point, though. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>^ Are you trying to say that Savannah was confident, which understandably could have helped her perform better; this increase in performance then made her even more confident in her grade? I could see that working, though again I’m not AP grader so I can’t say for sure.</p>

<p>haha its a little different, but i hope i get the point. thanks for your help!</p>

<p>Well, in Savannah’s case, high self-efficacy could lead to overconfidence, so you never know.</p>

<p>I put Biology and Philosophy.</p>

<p>What was the answer for the culture-fair question?</p>

<p>Self efficacy = learned expectation of success. Basically if you’re confident in yourself.</p>

<p>I said bio and something else. I said impossible to make that kind of test.</p>

<p>I said self-efficacy would make her overconfident (I said that self-efficacy is the same as the colloquial “big ego”).</p>

<p>For culture fair question: I said there was nothing that could describe the culture of everyone or something like that</p>

<p>I didn’t know, though.</p>

<p>Wow, after reading this thread I realized how bad my FRQs were. :expressionless: I feel like that will murder my grade. I thought the MC was a breeze. I went through Barron’s twice, essentially. There were only 2-5 questions that Barron’s didn’t cover. Otherwise, I feel really good about my MC. It’s my FRQs I’m worried about. :/</p>

<p>was anyone else taken aback by the question with two sentences and how they were different.</p>

<p>culture fair question- i said not possible.
girl claiming clouds are smiling or something- animism?
different genders wearing different clothes but is still the same gender- gender identity?
crystallized intelligence- i think i put something with knowledge, does anyone know the exact answer?</p>

<p>ahh too paranoid to risk getting my scores cancelled… :)</p>

<p>the mom hearing her daughter was the cocktail party effect, and the stroking of the knee was the gate control theory.
also, for the gender and clothes- gender constancy.</p>

<p>Just thought you guys should know that you are not allowed by CollegeBoard to discuss these questions as they are on the MC portion of the test. Obviously, you can still do it, but you are doing so *at your own risk<a href=“see%20stickied%20thread”>/I</a>.</p>

<p>For the phoneme question, besides saying Savannah can pronounce the words through knowing the smallest sound units, I also added that she can also interpret the meaning of the word out of nervousness… This is def wrong, but do I get penalized for misinformation if I got the right answer there somewhere?</p>
