2
Mark schemes are prepared by the Lead Assessment Writer and considered, together with the relevant
questions, by a panel of subject teachers. This mark scheme includes any amendments made at the
standardisation events which all associates participate in and is the scheme which was used by them in
this examination. The standardisation process ensures that the mark scheme covers the students\u2019
responses to questions and that every associate understands and applies it in the same correct way.
As preparation for standardisation each associate analyses a number of students\u2019 scripts. Alternative
answers not already covered by the mark scheme are discussed and legislated for. If, after the
standardisation process, associates encounter unusual answers which have not been raised they are
required to refer these to the Lead Examiner.
It must be stressed that a mark scheme is a working document, in many cases further developed and
expanded on the basis of students\u2019 reactions to a particular paper. Assumptions about future mark
schemes on the basis of one year\u2019s document should be avoided; whilst the guiding principles of
assessment remain constant, details will change, depending on the content of a particular examination
paper.

Level of response marking instructions
Level of response mark schemes are broken down into levels, each of which has a descriptor. The
descriptor for the level shows the average performance for the level. There are marks in each level.
Before you apply the mark scheme to a student\u2019s answer read through the answer and annotate it (as
instructed) to show the qualities that are being looked for. You can then apply the mark scheme.
Step 1 Determine a level
Start at the lowest level of the mark scheme and use it as a ladder to see whether the answer meets the
descriptor for that level. The descriptor for the level indicates the different qualities that might be seen in
the student\u2019s answer for that level. If it meets the lowest level then go to the next one and decide if it
meets this level, and so on, until you have a match between the level descriptor and the answer. With
practice and familiarity you will find that for better answers you will be able to quickly skip through the
lower levels of the mark scheme.
When assigning a level you should look at the overall quality of the answer and not look to pick holes in
small and specific parts of the answer where the student has not performed quite as well as the rest. If
the answer covers different aspects of different levels of the mark scheme you should use a best fit
approach for defining the level and then use the variability of the response to help decide the mark within
the level, ie if the response is predominantly level 3 with a small amount of level 4 material it would be
placed in level 3 but be awarded a mark near the top of the level because of the level 4 content.
Step 2 Determine a mark
Once you have assigned a level you need to decide on the mark. The descriptors on how to allocate
marks can help with this. The exemplar materials used during standardisation will help. There will be an
answer in the standardising materials which will correspond with each level of the mark scheme. This
answer will have been awarded a mark by the Lead Examiner. You can compare the student\u2019s answer
with the example to determine if it is the same standard, better or worse than the example. You can then
use this to allocate a mark for the answer based on the Lead Examiner\u2019s mark on the example.
You may well need to read back through the answer as you apply the mark scheme to clarify points and
assure yourself that the level and the mark are appropriate.
Possible content in the mark scheme is provided as a guide for examiners. It is not intended to be
exhaustive and you must credit other valid points. Students do not have to cover all of the points
mentioned in the possible content to reach the highest level of the mark scheme.
An answer which contains nothing of relevance to the question must be awarded no marks.
Examiners are reminded that AO1 and AO2 are regarded as interdependent. When deciding on a mark
in instances where there is an attempt at more than one assessment objective all attempts should be
considered together using the best fit approach. In doing so, examiners should bear in mind the relative
weightings of the assessment objectives.
When an answer only contains content related to one of the skills (AO1\/AO2), then the levels descriptors
for the award of marks for the skill attempted should be applied to the answer, up to the maximum mark
available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Section A
Social influence
01 The following definition of \u2018deindividuation\u2019 is not complete.
Deindividuation happens when someone loses their ___________<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong>.
This causes them to feel less responsibility for their actions.
You have been given four suggestions of what the missing words are.
Complete the definition by identifying the correct missing words.
Shade one box only.
[1 mark]
Marks for this question: AO1 \u2013 1 mark
C (individuality and personal identity)
02 The \u2018cost of helping\u2019 affects bystander intervention.
Use an example to describe how the \u2018cost of helping\u2019 could affect bystander intervention.
[1 mark]
Marks for this question: AO2 \u2013 1 mark
1 mark for an appropriate example used to describe how the \u2018cost of helping\u2019 could affect bystander
intervention.
For an example to be considered appropriate it must include the direction of the affect (ie more or less
likely to help) and some example of the cost\/risk.
Example
If you will miss your psychology exam if you stop to help someone, the cost of missing your exam would
make it less likely that you would help.
NOTE: If the answer is just a definition\/outline of the cost of helping and does not use an example,
award NO mark.
