 Unit 2 - criminological theories Topic 1.1 - compare criminal behaviour and deviance Norms, values and moral codes: This topic is about crime and deviance, about their meaning and their similarities and differences. A usual starting point is to say that both crime and deviance challenge or threaten accepted values and norms of behaviour. We therefore need to begin by looking at these two terms. Norms and values - Values are general principles or guidelines for how long we should live our lives. They tell us what is right and wrong, good and bad Norms while values ay down general principles or guidelines, norms are specific rules or socially accepted standards that govern people's behaviour in particular situations. An example of a value that is found in all societies is respect for human life. Other values may be specific to particular societies. i>E societies such as the UK and the USA place a high value on individuals accumulating personal wealth, which is seen as a worthy go...

 AO1 - Tulving (1967) Leading figure in memory research Based on MSM idea of LTM They suggest there is a difference between episodic memory (remembering a family holiday) and genera memory. (knowing the country is in a continent) DIfferent typed of LTM: Procedural memory is memory on how to do things. Autobiographical memory means episodes from your life and come from experiences you have had Long term memory types are declarative and procedural. Declarative leads to episodic and semantic.

Firstly, my questionnaire lacks generalisability. My sample is limited due to it being a volunteer sample so the sample is bias to an extent. Due to it being a volunteer sample there were only 12 participants that took part and the majority of the participants were female (83.3%). Therefore, it does not represent the wider society's views towards obedience in gender and in different situations. Also, my questionnaire was high in test re test reliability. This is because all my participants had the same questions and they were worded in the same exact way and in the same order. I ensured this happened by sending all the participants the same link to my questionnaire to answer them. Therefore, this meant my questionnaire's results would be more reliable because when the answers were submitted by participants, google form presented the new quantitative results each time another questionnaire was submitted. Furthermore, my questionnaire is high in ecological validity. My aim before...

 Aim: The aim of my questionnaire is to investigate perceptions of gender difference in obedience and different situations. Hypothesis - My prediction is that their will be difference in obedience levels found amongst women compared to men. There will be no difference between men and women if there is it will only be due to chance. Procedure: Methodology - I decided to carry out my practical through a questionnaire this is when you read questions and it is followed up by a written response, this could be sentences or tick options. Questionnaires usually don't take place face to face. If they do take place face to face the researcher must not communicate with the participant for any reasons other than explaining something to them. I chose to use a questionnaire because of its key strengths like the fact participants do not feel influenced to give a answer because the researcher is not present, the questionnaire can be done anonymously so the participants are more likely to be honest...
