You need to prepare responses to the entire question below.

‘Virtue is its own reward’. Psychological research has a lot to say about the value of doing ‘good’. Based on the material covered in DE200, assess the evidence in favour of this statement.

‘People see what they want to see’. Examine this statement drawing on research and theory in cognitive and social psychology.
‘Happiness comes from within’. Critically evaluate the biological approach to understanding happiness presented in Block 2, drawing on material from the other two blocks (Block 1 and Block 3) of DE200.
‘Boys will be boys!’ Design two studies using different methods to investigate this question empirically.
‘A leopard can’t change its spots’. Using materials from two blocks of DE200, evaluate the psychological evidence to support or counter this statement.
‘Ask a silly question and you’ll get a silly answer’. DE200 covers three broad approaches to methods: experimental, survey and text based. Using an example for each of these approaches, describe how and why asking an inappropriate question will produce an uninformative answer.
