Worked Solution & Example Answer:You will have learned about one of the following contemporary studies in health psychology - AQA - A-Level Psychology - Question 15 - 2021 - Paper 2
Step 1
Chosen study: Mundt et al. (2012)
Answer
Finding one: They found that 13% of the participants who dropped out between wave 1 and wave 2 were weekly alcohol users.
Finding two: The frequency that parents drank alcohol was not significantly associated with alcohol consumption in adolescence.
Step 2
Explain one strength of your chosen contemporary study in terms of reliability.
Answer
One strength of Mundt et al. (2012) is that participant variables did not affect the results about alcohol consumption between wave 1 and 2, increasing reliability. Specifically, 14,738 of the original participants were used in wave 2, which allows for more consistent results due to repeated measures.
