You must answer two questions from this section.
Answer all the parts for the two questions you choose.

conclusion in your answer. [5]

investigate choice blindness. Participants tasted jam or smelled tea. They were deceived in a
number of ways during the study.

Psychology and health

3 The five city project (Farquhar et al., 1985) was a large experimental field study of community
health education for the prevention of cardiovascular (heart) disease. Selection of the five
cities was based on eight criteria (constraints). Data was collected over a six-year period using
physiological measures, such as testing blood pressure and analysing urine samples, and
behavioural measures.

(a) Explain what makes the main experimental design of this study independent measures. [2]

(b) Suggest why two of the selection criteria for the cities were important. [4]

(c) Participants in randomly selected households were used in this study.

(i) Suggest how this might have been done. [2]

(ii) Explain why this random selection was important. [2]

(d) Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of using physiological measures to assess the validity
of community health promotion projects. You should include a conclusion in your answer. [5]


Psychology and organisations

4 A manager can motivate workers by giving a monetary reward for extra work or good performance.
A manager can take money away for poor performance or for not meeting targets. However, giving
or taking away money might not be the best motivator. Non-monetary reward systems might be
more effective motivators.

(a) Explain what is meant by the term ‘non-monetary reward system’. [2]

(b) Explain how two types of non-monetary reward can be used to motivate workers. [4]

(c) Suggest how non-monetary rewards apply to two needs from Maslow’s hierarchy. [4]

(d) Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of using monetary reward systems to motivate
workers. You should include a conclusion in your answer. [5]

more effective for women with OCD than for men with OCD. [10]
