6- and 10-marker Plan for Biological Explanation of Mood Disorders

There’s a lot of content to ‘memorise’ in psychology, isn’t there?

Remembering becomes a lot easier when it is done in an organised way rather than through cramming.

Then, how should students organise content?

By preparing answer writing frames after every lesson!

By organising the textbook content into sections and subsections giving appropriate headings – of course in a question-answer format. That way, students just have to remember a few words of the headings to be able to recall the entire answer that they have understood from the textbook.

Download a sample on how this can be done from below to get more clarity on this approach. Happy learning!

Kitty goes to buy jeans at a large local store. While entering, she notices posters and banners showing the latest trending jeans at the window on the storefront.

The exterior design of the store is such that it contains many pots of different white and red colored roses.

After making her purchase, Kitty tells her sister Mimmy that she really liked the environment of the store and that she would like to visit it every few weeks to check out the collection of jeans there.

With reference to one study on types of store exterior design, explain Kitty’s response to the store. [4]

    • Mower et al.
  2. Remember the findings of the study
    • Participants expressed liking of the external environment of the store and showed increased patronage intentions
      • Why?
        • The landscaping was large, containing flowers and ivy pots;
        • The window displays contained mannequin wearing a fashion outfit
  3. Analogise to the ‘Kitty’ scenario
    • Kitty’s response – same as participants of the study;
    • Landscaping – “pots of different white and red roses”
    • Window displays – “posters and banners showing the latest trending jeans”

____________

  1. State the relevant features of the Mower et al.’s study
  2. Link them to the ‘Kitty’ scenario – bring about how the features are found in the scenario, using wording from the scenario

______________

Writing your answer-

Mower et al., in their study investigating the influence of window displays and landscaping on customers’ mood found that – (1) the presence of landscaping, containing pots of flowers and ivy; and (2) the presence of window displays containing a female manequinn wearing a fashionable outfit; increased liking of the external environment and patronage intentions. In the given scenario, (1) the presence of landscaping in the form of pots of white and red-coloured roses; and (2) the presence of window displays in the form of posters and banners showing the latest trending genes can explain Kitty’s response of telling her sister that she liked the environment of the store and that she would to visit it every few weeks.
