Females are generally more selective than males when choosing mates due to higher resource investment, and research shows cross-cultural male preferences for specific physical traits like a 0.7 hip-to-waist ratio, which signals sexual maturity and non-pregnancy status.

RELATIONSHIPS: PAPER 3 Kahoot! 7:30pm TUE 2nd JUNEAdded:
Hello everyone. Can everyone hear me?
Turn that fan off.
All right, people got to let me know if they can hear me or not.
Yep. Cool. Audio quality goods.
Hello everyone.
All right. Um, so anyone here from paper one, paper two already joined?
We got 122. That's more than yesterday.
Yesterday we for aggression we had uh started off about 90 to all of them. Yeah, you have Ash.
Yeah, I kind of wish I'd done them for big one now. Just didn't really occur to me to be honest.
Right. Uh, we're gonna do a Oh, cool. We just got a subscriber. I didn't even realize there was a noise.
Um, okay. So, we are going to get start straight away. Um, there are six relationships cahoots. Uh you can chat uh in the chat about um audio lag. Is there an audio lag?
Oh dear.
Test test test. How about now?
Test test test.
Okay, cool. Yeah, I don't know what that's for, but oh well. All right. Um, let's start. So, uh, the winners, the cahoots. Uh, so this has got the aggression post obvious, so I'm not going to give aggression for this. If you win, um, take a screenshot of your winning position. You can ask me for any paper free poster. You maybe don't want relationships, maybe you want a different one. Um, you go for it. Um, so yeah, I'm leaning in now because I've sat in the wrong position. Um, but we are going to see this works.
New There we go.
All right, here's our pin, everyone. Um, just to let everybody know, uh, I have a mod in the chat. The mod is another psychology teacher and a close friend.
Uh Luchia is gonna keep their eye on the chat for me. Also may answer some questions as well if she wants to. Um let's see what we got because I'm not able to get to everything.
So yeah, just if you want you can chat about random stuff but you know be re uh reasonable in the chat.
Oh, I'm not going to spoil the boys for you.
Okay, here we go.
I'm just going to start. If you join in, it's cool. It'll get you in.
My videos enough content for 60 markers.
People who message me after the exam certainly seem to think so when they do well. So, yeah, you're all right. Uh, let's go. Uh that what is the term for females choosing mates based on traits to ensure offspring survival.
Um most of you going the right way there. Interexual selection for that one. It's difficult to get them uh the wrong way around but yeah. So, females choosing mates uh is inter. So, I think most of you will get it right for the next one. Well done, KF. Straight in there.
We're going to try and get through all six of these in an hour, everyone. What is the term for secondary sexual characteristics that vary between males and females?
Okay. It is of course male female dimmorphism. Some people go in selection not quite there. Uh so yeah we have very distinctive um characteristics between males and females and that is dimorphism.
Males competing with each other for access to mate and using physical power or social dominance is what? This would be the other one that some of you went wrong on, but I think you'll get it right this time. They're competing with each other. So, of course, it is intraexual selection. Intraexual selection.
Why are females generally more selective than males when picking a reproductive partner?
Lovely. Very, very well done on that one. Higher resource investment than males. Um, going to explain some of that with a little bit of research in this area, of course.
Well done, Rosebot.
Which physical characteristics are human fields evolved to prefer as it suggests dominance and resources.
Now I'll be fair to you. If you'd gone symmetrical ears I would be like maybe maybe symmetry is important. um youthful youthful facial features and hip toweight ratio. It's not even though you add those up, that's almost as many as for V-shaped chest. Um no, um it would because they're things that males look for in women according to this area.
So it's part of the male the the sexual demorphism element.
Zing found a cross-cultural male preference for which physical trait infertile females?
This is the one that a lot of people went for.
All right, there we go. 118 of you getting it right. Some people going for large eyes. Um large eyes was found but not by singing by another researcher.
So, uh, yeah, for the VG in particular, the cross-cultural one, uh, was 0.7, uh, hip to waist ratio. Um, in the chat, you might want to type in why, what is that showing us? Two things it's showing us.
Well, you might want to do this next question.
Dumbar and Wayne found that 42% of males in dating ads were looking for what?
So not all of not every school will do every single research study. This is a particular popular one. Um so um youthful mates was the one here. No one looking not not looking for economic status, high intelligence or similar social class. Um which is is surprising.
Um well M getting closer but Roswell holding the lead there.
Clenfield found that 75% of male students agreed to sex with a stranger.
What does this support? What's this study supporting? One of the wildest studies in Alevel psychology I think yeah I like I can't believe like if if your research had asked you um if a researcher had asked you uh like to take part in the study as a student like would you say yeah I don't think so um it' be very difficult um so it was male interexual selection so there's males competing against other males um I think it backs up both to be fair um the male findings of there there being 75% instead of you know agreeing to anything backs up male interexual females being zero um is telling us something A significant limitation of evolution explanations for partner preference is they can't explain what yeah the issue here a lot of the research in a lot of the areas relationships is very heteronormative um and that can be an evaluation for us um some are not though there are some That actually could explain him in sexual relationships as well as heterosexual relationships.
Okay, well done brother.
We on our last question now.
Exaggerating the behavioral differences between men and women in these fairies is an example of what?
So difficult to get the right way around, isn't it? So, it's an exaggeration. It's an exaggeration.
So, you're right. It's alpha bias for the exaggeration. So, let's see who we have as our winner. That um 0.7 hip to waist ratio tells us two things.
Uh sexual maturity, so able to have a baby, but because of the dip in the waist, not currently pregnant.
And well done for third. You were high up all the way through that.
Eva and Rosebot, well done. You held on to that all the way through. Uh not done issues and debates just yet. Um so yeah, take a picture of that and you're good. Uh, issue of the mix will be on Thursday night everyone. Hope you can join me for that too.
I lost the sub. No.
All right. Uh, next up everyone, we are going to two. It would be I was thinking before it would be so funny. It would be so funny. Oh, we're doing six rounds.
So, this is round number two out of six.
It's so funny if in round six I got to 100,000 which is parasocial relationships. Just there'll just be something just be something cool about that. All right, we're on to round number two. So here is your cahoot. Uh, no.
Cool. All right, we're going to start everyone. Uh 144 in. We've got 185 people in the chat. So I know there's about another 40 of you coming in. Um that's fine. It will you will join.
Roll. We made it to 950 50 to go. Will we make it? I don't know.
Which varies suggests that as relationships develop, communication increases in breadth and depth.
A lot of different fairies there. A lot of fairies to talk about. Yeah. And we'll find social penetration. So reg develop you get we know people more we're going to talk about more things breth also we're going to talk about things in more detail depth so that is uh self-disclosure.
What term describes the assumption that physically attracted people are also hardworking and sociable.
Nice easy one here. Halo effect. Yeah, very good Corey. The matching hypothesis suggests we realistically appraise ourselves and look for partners who are what?
So yeah, no one going for the more attractive than us. Uh one obviously the assumption would be from an evolution perspective we would go for the most attractive uh people but there's a realization that you know there's a uh a level all right well done I'll do it properly if you win in Kirkoff and Davy's filter theory what is the first filter that limits potential your partners. Everyone, what is the first filter?
Yeah, the first filter is social demography. So, um do we live near them?
Um do uh you know, similar age, are they the the sex that we're interested in?
Like sometimes you think, "Oh, there's all the people in the world." But actually, if you break it down, there are not many people out there that fit through that social demography filter.
It's a big filter.
Ah, well done. Taking the lead.
What is the second filter that becomes important as partners interact more frequently?
Okay, nice easy one here. About a quarter of you going off on complimentarity. Hold that thought. So yeah, we're going to pass through the first filter. Are they simply the type of person that we would consider? Then get to the second filter. Do our ideas match? You know, like are we similar politically? And do we have like some same morality? If we don't pass that filter, it's probably not going to last.
Game pin is at the bottom. Cahoot.it game pin is 7264373.
Well done, Corey. Holding it up.
Which filter identified as the most important factor for the success of longterm relationships?
So this is really interesting one. So you've had a previous one which is similarity and attitudes. This one as you say complimentarity seems to go the other way doesn't it? It's like well actually we are interested in people that maybe are different from us but different from us in a way that actually supports us and gets us what we want. So maybe you really like cooking but you're not so good at DIY and you find someone who doesn't like cooking and they love DIY and you're like oh wow how useful is that? Um or you know you're maybe you're very organized but maybe a little bit boring but the other person's quite exciting but maybe a little bit all over the place. That's a nice little combination as well. Um there are 10 questions in each 60 altogether.
Corey holding the lead speech and Hendrickk found a positive correlation between self-disclosure and relationship.
Feel like I uh should have went that a little better. But yeah, we've got satisfaction and love.
A major criticism of filter theory today is that it lacks which type of validity?
Really interesting one where I'm like does it though? Does it? It's an interesting conversation, isn't it? This one.
So yeah, obviously a lot of relationships now are online. So we are able to make relationships with a broader group of people. uh potentially talking to people that we never would before. Uh but I don't know. I don't know. I think there's still some pretty strong filters even online. I think your guards up when you're talking to people online. You worried about who people are and you know, obviously dating online now is is probably more visual than previously. Um so yeah, there's an interesting conversation to be had there in the evaluations.
Yeah. Worldw physical attractiveness is more important than online dating. Yeah.
Corey holding it up there.
Yeah. This is AQA.
The halo effect can result in attractive people becoming more successful due to which process.
Yeah. What is the process by which people become more successful?
Yep. And we got that term in there as well, a self-fulfilling prophecy for attractiveness.
There are people who are attractive get given jobs because people want to hire them, want to work with them. It's a bit of a bit of a shame.
Next one. To develop attraction, individuals must consider the motivations behind self-disclosure called and we have some wrong there. No, it's not gating in this one. It is attributions. So, think about it this way. We've said that self-disclosure, well, we talking about self-disclosure as enhancing the feeling of connection between someone. But, you know, sometimes it can be I think that was the term the kids use now trauma dumping. It's like, oh, why are you doing that? It's a bit bit TMI, too much information. Why are you ask why are you telling me all these things? Um, so we think about the attributions behind um the reasons why people might be talking to us and telling us certain things. Um, so not all self-disclosure is good. Um, it's not automatically a good thing for a relationship. Well done the 70 of you that got that right.
And next, what have we got?
The term occasionally turns up in mark schemes. So, yeah, occasionally, but it's not like a it's not a name in the spec. Corey, well done for winning that second one.
All right. Um, don't forget to take that picture, Cory.
Uh next one is theories romantic relationships.
We got 775126 is our game pin.
So yeah, just to remind everyone, uh, Mama Mama Lu Belu, uh, is Luchia, uh, a psychology teacher and actually I've not taught relationships in the classroom for a couple of years now. Um, so yeah, the advice that she's given in the chat is golden. U, I'm doing these options because people just won't leave me alone.
Okay, here we go everyone. Let's go.
Good luck.
Which economic theory suggests partners aim only to maximize rewards and minimize costs?
That only was super important. That only was super important because they all do really. They all are interested in that.
Uh yes some people go investment theory about third of you go investment theory even with that emphasized only now social exchange theory is like a business it's a profit and loss system um what do I get out of this and then what is it costing me to be in there very very simplistic rewards and minimizing costs term describes comparing your relationship to previous ones or the media.
See if I can catch any on this one.
Excellent. It is comparison level.
Fantastic.
Only caught a few of you with alternative check. I love alternative check. I thought that was a funny one.
It's like let me just check out these alternatives.
Corey hold your second win for Corey.
Maybe Mia's right behind then which theory adds the com concept of fairness and balance to the economic model.
equity theory is correct. Um, so very interesting dynamic of that. Maybe I'll talk about that in a little bit more in a sec after a few more questions. But the fairness and balance one is it's is more complex than it looks like on the surface.
Ash the great well done coming up with Cory still lead. Quity theory of a partner gets more profit than they give they may feel.
So this is the interesting one. This is what makes equity theory like better I would say than social exchange.
So yes, it's not resentful. I thought I'd catch if some of you were resentful.
So to be resentful is to feel like oh someone else is getting more than you.
This is the opposite. You're like you're in a relationship and you're getting loads out of it and this other person's not getting much and you're like that's a deeply shameful feeling to feel like you're not you know people want to give their romantic partners a good life. And this this captures that KF. Wow, blasting through Russ's model suggests commitment is a result of satisfaction alternatives. And what was the third one?
What was Rusbut's model all about then?
Yeah, easy peasy investment. And that's the com that's the uh the uh the calculation, isn't it?
Wild and Ash the great very high up shared friends material possessions or examples of which type of investments?
These ones are always tricky, aren't they? This one is like the weird words.
Don't worry if you like you don't get this one. Okay, we got most of it.
Extrinsic is correct. Um, so yeah, let's finish that before we talk about it.
I do get a plaque if I hit 100,000 subs when I think it takes a couple of weeks to get through.
Thanks well. That's really helpful.
Uh brothers sphere investment is useful because it explains why partners stay in what?
Yes. Abusive relationships. in the way that the others can't. So, social exchange theory would assume that these relationships would end where investments would assume that, you know, people are locked in and they can't escape. So, yeah, a bit of a of a sad point to make, but it does give the investment theory an advantage over the others.
Do we get a do you get a p do we get a picture when I do? I'll do a when I get my plaque, I'll do a little a little live. I'll do an unboxing maybe.
Utoutain found that mario couples in which type of relationship were the happiest.
And there's those terms everyone overbenefited and underbenefited. So those concepts of things unequitable they can be unequitable in two ways. We can either get too much or we can get too little. And both seem to be a problem.
Yep. We have got equitable relationships of utane was the research who found that a limitation of social exchange and equity theory is they may have a bias towards which culture.
So you notice I only included social exchange theory and equity theory in this. I wonder why I didn't include investment theory. So yeah, western individualistic. So individistic. It's about me. It's about my feelings. It's about what I want. Uh it's not about others. Um, so yeah, Corey, well done again. Cory's the one to be in this one. In Runwood's model, put things put directly into relationship like time or which investments. Here's the other one.
Yeah, there we go. Intrinsic are things put directly into relationship like time. We can't get out. It's kind of a sunk cost fallacy. Um we're like, "Oh, we can't get this back, so we might as well stay in it." Um all right.
What was I going to say? Yeah. So, um investment model, maybe the investment model is a bit more interesting. can explain um abusive relationships. It can explain um maybe cross-cultural relationships as well. Like there's you know the arranged marriage can't be explained by the others. Uh and you know it's very you know common around the world but investment um often involves families um investing.
All right. What we got? Gotman. All done, Rosie.
Corey, well done. Good work. Okay, we're doing good time here. I said I wanted to get through all six in an hour and we are on three in half.
Let's make that display so you can't see the questions. Uh, next one.
Uh, I think it's it's I would say it's less um biased towards indigenous cultures because it's such a heavy emphasis.
Oh, wait. I don't want to play the solo.
Um, such a heavy emphasis on investment and the family dynamic because the family is so much more involved.
The loss of losing a family and the shame. There we go.
There we go. And 850 280.
But yeah, even for uh you know investment as part of western relationships as you know you are giving up the other family. you are giving up the the wider social net of friends and figuring the friends got to decide which way they go which is part of the glue that's going to hold the relationship together even if it's not going well in other ways.
All right, let's go.
So, relationship breakdown. Uh, this is a short bit, so I struggle to get 10 good questions out of this, but we'll see. Duck. Duck. Duck. I love duck.
Which phase does a partner internally consider their feelings about problems?
This will be an easy one. You guys will have smash duck. I think duck is so easy.
Is it 970? Whoa. 30 to go, everyone.
Okay. Very good. Intra psychic. Nice.
uh few dactic not quite. So they're thinking about they're not sharing it with they're not talking about it they're not talking about with their with their uh partner they're just thinking about their issues what occurs during the dactic phase of ducks model I think people might go wrong here a little bit so 23 of you going for partners tell friends so didactic dactic is about talking but it's not talking with friends. It's talking it's confrontation with the uh yeah between between two people. So between the uh people in the relationship the the issues will be raised.
Uh Coralinus Snock well done. Somebody hates biology. You haven't got biology soon. Thought biology was Thursday. I don't know. I don't know that. I don't know that. In what phase did the splitting couples tell their social network about the breakup? We got to get this all right now. 100%. Come on. 100%.
Yeah. Almost one person goes into psychic. Yeah, that's a social phase.
Nice and easy. Oh yeah, I should have read that there. Hey, there's a lot of questions to write in not a lot of time.
partners creating a narrative of the breakup to save face is called I love duck's naming of stuff right so rock and roll yeah grave dressing isn't it it's just with drag dressing you're going and putting flowers on the grave I might have some something that you don't know now I might have some you don't know what 2006 improvement to ducks model includes individuals developing new interests So a fifth stage was added to Duck's model. This is an evaluation. You little bit like the working memory model, adding on stuff as we go. So later research found, but you guys got this.
The resurrection stage. I told you duck is easy. Tell you well done. Cory's coming back for another win.
What ter describes relationships that were simply not compatible at the start?
So I wonder if most of you don't know this. So there are some other phrases.
doesn't only think that relationships will break down through the stages.
Well, for all the reasons. Okay, we got it. Pre-existing doom is the uh is the correct term for this. Um, so yeah, some relationships aren't compatible from beginning to break by a traumatic event like cheating.
There we go. Uh, sudden death in the majority of view. Mechanical failure is not the one. Not the one. I'll tell you what that is in a second. I'll tell you what in a second. Couldn't remember used as a question. I don't think I did.
So, sudden death is the one. Uh, so yeah, that wouldn't follow the the phases necessarily as uh as simply as ration might just be over instantly.
A critm of Duk's model is it ignores gender differences which is uh it's kind of a repeat of a previous question.
Beta bias. Yeah.
So mechanical failure is when uh two people use this as a question.
Leaf Fabra found social phase behaviors on social media such as what was Leaf Fab's social phase behavior.
They send some angry texts to their partner. They reach out to a new group of people or did they just block all the people that used to be their friends in the relationship?
No, they removed all the tag photos was what was found in La Fabra's social phase. So see like social media does affect it.
Ash moving up to Shir and Fraser found that breakups typically follow the theories expected I couldn't think of a good question for the last one. Sorry I need to get more questions in. Um so mechanical failure is when um two people are like good together. They are but just over time like arguments develop or like disagreements and then they become incompatible over time. Uh not really due to any particular fault and stages.
Yeah, that was an easy question. Hard to make that one hard everyone. Hard to make that one hard. Jesse Evo, well done.
And Ash wins again. Wins again.
Congratulations.
Get another poster. Got so many posters.
All right, let's close that down. You already know how to get that poster, don't you? Like, leave that. Leave that up.
How many we on? How many are we on?
971. Okay. Okay, cool.
So that's um yeah, not many. Is it 29 to go?
All right, we're on five now, everyone. We're on five. We're only 20 minutes left of the live, though. I don't think we're going to make it. I don't think we're going to make it.
All right. Uh, there's your code everyone. 1039255.
Now, I mean, I think I'll have got over 100K by the next stream. I feel it probably about 25 minutes after the end of this one.
Yeah. Make your YouTube account to subscribe. You don't don't need to do that. Are you getting closer?
Everyone get their mom to subscribe.
That's what everyone was doing yesterday.
This is AQA Daisy. Indeed, it is.
All right, we are going to start 153. We are picking up members here, aren't we?
We are. We are getting busier.
I'm, as you can probably see, I'm trying to keep this snappier than usual. Hope people like that. I know people got things to do.
All right, here we go. What term describes the internet removing filters like looks, age, or ethnicity?
Well done. Yeah, absence of this was the absence of gating. So, there is a change in the way that we communicate now. And um you know if you're playing uh an online computer game, I've played a wide number where people are giving you grief over a headset and you don't know who they are and you're like seriously guys chill.
Okay, let's go. Who we going? Corey again in the lead. Nice work.
I was talking to a tuty which theory suggests online relationships like non-verbal communication like body language to one of my ties today and I used to play a game called Rust which is just awful awful game. Um reduced cues theory is correct. Um so yeah we we're we're maybe reading more into things because we can't physically see um the other people. Um, we maybe making stuff up because we can't see the body language. Maybe we think they're happier, angrier, I don't know.
Uh, uh, played uh, generally now or I played a decent amount with my friends a game called Valheim, which is oh, peak. Uh, people carefully controlling their online identity to appear better than they are.
Is the This is me, everyone. This is me.
I'm trying to make these chill. I feel like I I don't want to come here and just stress people out. You know, it's it's a refresh of a whole unit in an hour in a way that is less intense.
Maybe I can fix some gaps or whatever.
This isn't about reinventing the wheel.
Hyperpersonal model. Yeah, maybe you can think about this in the exam. I don't know. I'm just weird all the time, to be honest with you. Um, okay.
I'm making you stressed. You shouldn't be here if I'm making you stressed. I'm sorry.
Online can lead to a lot of responsibility and inhibition. And then what's this called? We should have this term. We've got it elsewhere in the spec probably.
So we Yeah, there we go. Only a few of you going wrong there. So this anonymity um we're not feeling responsible what we say online. Uh more likely to um say things that we shouldn't say. Um so yeah, uh de-individuation, you know, a lot of trolling maybe comes from the de-individuation effects of online relation online communication.
Relish, well done. Is that football's name? McKenna and Bar found that what percentage of online relationships survived two years?
So this is like talking about the effectiveness of online relationship. I think this is really interesting especially the comparison to in the same study how how many um relationships that had formed and maintained in uh real life survived those two years. Um so the majority of you going for 70% which is correct. So actually relationships formed online were actually quite strong. Um 50% was the real life relationships that um that survived.
Well done.
A criticism of early virtual relationship theories is they lack what type of religency?
This is I think this makes sense. This makes sense. Definitely temporal validity. So, a lot of the research you find on uh relationship theories, gosh, it's all done in like the early 2000s or like 1990s and like the internet is very different now. I mean, I'm like if I redo this unit, which I will, I'm like I'm going to put like AI girlfriends or something in there because things are getting weird everyone. Things are getting weird. Um, possibly population val. Yeah, I think I think because I put early virtual relationships, I I thought that was enough of a hint or guidance. Smith and Dugen found that 53% of American online daters had experienced what true love. Yeah, I don't think so. I don't think so.
30 more subscribers. Uh, misrepresentation.
Yeah, I really want to get 100K in the parasocial relationship one month. So, if we get to like 95, just chill. Smith and Dugen found that 53% of American online data was misrepresentation. You mostly got it right. So, people pretending to be someone they're not online. Obviously, the catfishing kind of situation. Um, so yeah.
Oh, we're on the last 10, everyone.
Uh, okay. Okay. You guys need to chill a little bit. I don't want to get there until parasocial relationships. I'm going to go quick.
Someone unsubscribe now quickly. Thank you. Virtual relationships are beneficial because they reduce war in isolated people.
Yeah. Loneliness. Yeah, I mean they are very um yeah they they you know some people survive in virtual relationships. So you can't imagine like what they would do without it. Maybe they struggle. Maybe there's a lot of reasons that that people don't make friends with them.
They're able to create this persona and feel valued and so it's not it's not a terrible thing.
Right. Nobody subscribed right now.
Nobody subscribed.
Oh wait, wait. No, no, no. Hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Keep it keep it keep it level.
Okay. Which of these gate is absent in initial online interaction?
Yeah. So that's what I said. So you know people who have difficulty communicating, maybe they're very shy but you know maybe got speech deficits or maybe they you know they've got um some other issue that makes them feel not confident. Um, so handy stop subscribing everyone. Online people tend to reach the high levels of intimacy and disclose a much nice easy one for our final one.
Faster.
Yeah, there we go. Faster. Well done.
Let's see who's on the podium.
Darcy Greish Da versus Tats. Good, good, good. Well done. Say, take that.
I gonna go to take this down because I think we're going to get there. We're going to get there. I got these.
Who's I had to go out today and get these because I was like, "Oh my gosh, what am I going to do for like 100k?" Oh, yeah.
Seriously. Thanks to that one person.
No.
Are you going to be again now, aren't you?
All right. Cool, cool, cool.
Let me go.
Hey, nine years.
So many hours of my life worth it.
Thanks guys. Oh, all the congrats.
Well, we are on Parisocial. I I wanted to pause it. I wanted to pause and have a clear screen.
A thanks everyone.
Yes. Yeah. Now what will happen? This is why like I made the last um the last thumbnail for my last um Cahoot Woody getting thrown away by uh like and it's like I don't want to play with you anymore and it's I don't want to revise you anymore. I promise you the day after pay for free it's like where where I like lose like 100 subscribers. Not a ridiculous number but like considering every day is positive just one day a year goes. Um so but it's fine. As I was only that did my job. As long as I did my job.
I was there for you when when I'm basically Woody from Toy Story.
Cool.
All right. She made it. Get my plaque.
Come on YouTube. Want email tonight.
Tonight. Get on the customer support.
When's American time?
All right. And should we do the last one? Shoot. We can chat afterwards. We can chat afterwards.
Let's do our last one because I know people are here to like get revising.
They're not all just here to to celebrate my Oh, we've got 200 here. So, that's good.
Um, I do get a few people, right, messaging me that I've been through uni and like putting like put putting messages on my channel. Very sweet. I do look at all of the messages I get that are nice. Uh look at the you know what actually it's very very sweet like the messages I get like are always nice. People always like oh it's like toxic like being a YouTuber. No it's not. It's like they always get sweet comments after sweet comments. I'd say like one 100 is slightly like me. Uh but they're not even like they're often respectful and like not agreeing with a take I took an evaluation or something. It's never like harsh. So, uh, I'm like Freud to you.
Okay.
All right.
So, let's do everyone parasocial relationships.
Oh, I missed it. I missed it. I missed it. I missed the screen grab.
Which fan level involves following a celebrity closely just to gossip with friends?
Okay. Lock it.
Oh my god. I've had I had a theory today. I had a theory today. So yeah, entertainment social the element of um following subject closely just to gossip with friends. I'm going to share my theory at the end of this and I I think I'm right, but I don't think people will agree. I think there'll be people that be angry.
You can still join. You can still join code to the bomb.
Cory 100k. Yeah.
What scale was developed by McCutchen to classify the extent of celebrity worship? What was this scale? Intimacy profile, parasocial index, celebrity attitude scale, matching scale. We got this. We got this.
Most most of us have got this. Uh so yeah it is the celebrity attitude scale the CAS.
At which level does a fan develop an obsessive connection and talk about a celebrity constantly? So it's obsessive.
They talk about it constantly. What level does that reach?
All right. Some of you going maybe a little bit early there. Uh but this is an intense intense personal uh level.
Which level involves uncontrollable fantasies and potentially attempting to stalk the celebrity? Maybe this is where you some of you were like a little too early on this.
Borderline pathological.
Well done. Cool, cool, cool.
And uh yeah, intense.
I'm going to remake this unit in the summer, I think, because I like this is the oldest unit remaining left on my YouTube channel. And I was looking through it today and I went down the comments and someone typed in one of the videos. It's still live today. It's been on for eight years. typed in the comments face reveal question and wouldn't believe it I had commented um when I get to a thousand subscribers and I was like like I I had produced a lot of videos before I got to a thousand subscribers a lot like I would say 70.
The absorption addiction model suggests fans use celebrities to achieve which goal.
And this is kind of sad. I think this is kind of sad, but it's kind of Yeah, I can I get this. I get this.
Yeah. It's not that they're not genetically based to try and like do some innate behavior. Uh it's not to try and get social status. It's just escape the the reality of their lives, which is kind of sad.
They all used to be like the relationship videos. They're my OG OG ones. My my my stu I made these videos for my own students and I made the entire A level in a year. No, two years.
And then taken another seven to remake them to a higher standard.
I took another five. I kind of took a bit of a break while I made books and stuff. Tay, well done.
Which attachment style from childhood is most linked to the development of parasocial relationships?
I don't know when to do the Q&A. Maybe Saturday.
Uh yeah. So I like I made like um workbooks to go with my videos. Like it's it's a it's a flip learning kind of thing.
Um, insecure resistant is correct. I'm going to share my my ideas of parasocial relationships. You don't need to write them down, but like it's I just think it's I only came up today. Parasocial relationships are attractive to some because they offer attachment without what?
Oh my god, this is AI. This is AI, isn't it?
Attractive because they offer attachment without possibility of rejection. This this is why I think people um forming relationships with AI is going to become so problematic because relationships are messy and difficult and painful and there's no problem with rejection when it comes to AI. They're not going to reject you. I if they did, gosh, that'd be so harsh. But um yeah, like sometimes people worry so much about rejection, they um they will only go for things that there's no risk. Uh so yeah, maybe maybe this explains it. Uh you know, rejection is painful. It is.
Cory keeping that lead.
I would say that um McCutchen found the college students with insecure attachment types were.
Yeah, I don't think you're wrong, Jack Sparrow.
Yeah, more likely to stalk with those Ash. Well done. Well done.
Jensen and Jens Jensen and Jenkin argue that 70 worship can help isolated fans develop.
social networks is correct. So yeah, I mean it's not not all bad necessarily, is it? I mean there's lots of like communities like Discord servers about celebrities or lots of other things and you know this celebrity worship element.
Maybe they're not really interested in the celebrity. Maybe it is more about like the friends that you make along the way.
Oh, was the answer wrong for question eight? Oh no, sorry guys. Not had a question wrong since research methods.
Uh Q8 uh cahoot 6.
I'll fix that before I send it before I make it visible. Um so yeah, I'm making these not just for like now for you guys. So, my intention was to make a whole, this is why I've been busy, whole load of cahoots for teachers to be able to use in their classrooms. Uh, because they go in cahoot and there's like not necessarily all on AQA psychology or like all matched up. So, I was like, if I'm going to make a 100 cahoots, I'm going to make them like for everyone.
So, yeah, doing this for you guys. I'm sorry there sometimes some mistakes, but I'm going to try and fix them. So, this is kind of a test run. So, yeah. Um, yeah, I hope so. I hope I hope student hope teachers find it that they don't have to make their own and I know a lot of them use my videos and I've tried so I've tried to make not step too far away from the spec on a lot of these but you know it's a difficult balance to have ash in the lead again major criticism of parasocial research is that it relies on retrospective what I think some of these I'm going to rewrite some of the answers to be a little bit more difficult retrospective game filters maybe did throw some brain scans aren't represented.
No, I'm not going to charge for the I mean I'm hoping that um some people uh because what I've put is like obviously I've got a flash card app which is also paper one is also free. Um so if people like the hundreds of cute questions maybe they want to use my flash card app but I'm not really too worried.
I I took a screen grab. That's why I was in a weird face.
I got it. I got it. So, I I'll post that somewhere.
Um, which is by means looking back. Oh, there you go. That's why I've got Luchia here to help me out. Uh, all right. Wild and Ash on the on the next win.
Uh, it's a bit late for the flash card out now. You don't need it. You don't need it. Well, actually, no. Yeah, sure.
Fine. It's called Side Boost. It's on iOS and Android. Um, there we go.
Yeah.
What's the theory?
Oh yeah. What's my theory of parasocial relationships? Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Okay. So, for everybody else who's just here for like the cahoots, that's this the end now of the cahoots. So, you can you can abandon me now if you want to get on with your rest your reision. If you want to chat some random stuff though, I'll stay 10 minutes or so. Um uh so yeah, 2,000 flashards that took a while and there's multiple choice quizzes and ketone testers. I was hoping the keto test is the best thing on it, but um it's hard to explain really. Um so, um here's my theory, right? I go to work obviously two days a week. I teach two days a week and uh the people I teach with are great. Um but um like go down sit for lunch with them and one half the table is talking about the kids like little kids and like sometimes they talk about like gross stuff for the kids. I'm like come on eat my jack potato here. Come on. And then all of the lads, lads, lads. They're male teachers. Uh, also I've got football and they spent they know so much about it.
Like it's almost ridiculous the level of detail. Like I I don't know if I could fit that much information in my head and I know a lot about this stuff. Um, and then I'm like, "Oh my gosh, do they have like a parasocial relationship with football or their club?" Like the club is like an entity that doesn't know they exist, but they follow their every like movement. They get really excited when um they get really really excited when their team wins and they get really sad when their team doesn't win. And it's like is that like the success and failure of a parasocial relationship?
But the is what's the reason they're doing it? And I think the reason they're doing it is because community. They know like it's a conversational thing with other men. Like I don't go to barber shops because like I just go to a hairdresser because I never go to a barber shop like they'll be like oh you see a football like not in a few years.
Um so yeah I I I just think there's a I just think there's a weird parallel but you guys you can stop asking for predicted questions. You guys know I don't I don't do them. Um so yeah I talked about the reason why then I'll a lot of people have been asking um like it's against the spirit of the point of this. Is it kind of a little bit like those people who like use AI to generate their answers or essays and stuff and you're like if you're looking for a shortcut to make the job easier then you didn't do the thing that it was that was the point of it was to do. So I mean I know it's stressful. I know some anxious time. So there's two reasons really.
That's that's one. The other reason is too frequently questions will come up one year to the next in a in a different format and you the way predicting people do no one's got a magical like oh I can figure everything out. They all do the same very simple thing which is look at the last few years and go that's unlikely to come up what hasn't up for a while that's where I'll predict there's no magic to it it's pretty basic but you know there's been years where an essay or repeated one after the other. The difference between the top of a C and the bottom of an A I looked this a few days ago and I'll be sure but I can't quite remember. it was something like 14 marks. So if you get one thing going, I don't to look at that, it's very unethical to one put those predictions out there, I feel. Um but also um for yourself, you've got to look at all of it. You the best prediction is look at what you're scared of because that might come up and that's what you want to be better at. Um so yeah, I would definitely avoid them. But also like it this idea of like the shortcut and students I might do my Q&A. I might talk about this um a little bit. Um when you go to uni and you're doing your essays and you're doing your work, the essay itself is pointless. It is never going to be the best thing that has ever been written on the topic that you're writing about. No one's ever going to read it apart from you and the person marking it. After that, it's gone from history.
The point wasn't the essay. The point was becoming the type of person who is able to do that essay because then you get out the other end of it and then you've got these skills that you can then apply to different areas of your life. You can then write scripts or you can be creative and see connections between different ideas because you managed to do that by synthesizing ideas in an essay. That's the point of the essay. The point of the essay isn't just to get the grade. And I think there's going to be a lot of people coming out the other end of uni soon and it's going to be terrifying because they're going to get through. They probably would scam their way through with by using AI because unis haven't really figured out a way to beat the system yet. But then they'll come to the other end and then they'll go to the interviews and they'll go, "Oh yeah, just to let you know um because of like we're getting a lot of candidates who aren't quite ready for the job. We now have a two-day induction process where we'll assess your abilities and then be like, "Oh no, I spent three years not becoming incredible intellectual, which is the point of uni, but I spent three years skirting around." So if you see other people making the shortcuts, I would uh I would not see them as hacking the system and being smart. I would see them as not developing the skills they need.
But also the point of the A level is to be able to get this wealth of information on board. Um so yeah, that's my I've got a moral reason which is that and I've got a practical reason which is there's not many marks between the top of a C and the bottom of an A and predictions are often wrong. And what these prediction people do, they predict a lot of stuff and they make a big noise about the times it hits because just statistically they will and they go very quiet and delete videos when it doesn't hit and it's stressful. But there we go.
There's my there's my rant which I do all the time. Uh yeah, imagine ling your way through uni and then suddenly you have no skill set.
Yeah. Like what are you doing? You're coming out at 21. You many thousands of pounds in debt and you're like so what do you get out of that? Are you now a person who's able to like do well? Like like that's that's fundamentally what I got out of uni. Like I came out of it a different person because I failed a bunch of times. Maybe I'll talk about this in my my Q&A. Um but then I figured out well I need to do I need to be a different person if I want to pass and I would want to do well. So yeah right. Um we are going teacher made an AI video. I'll tell you about AI videos. So, a couple of months ago, I was contacted by a company who will remain nameless. Uh, and they were like, "Oh, will you make a load of shorts for us? We're going to try and be like, you know, do shorts and education." I was like, "Okay, I'll make them I'll make a TikTok anyway just for like So, I'm I never trust companies."
And then they went really quiet after offering me some decent amount of money, which I was like, "Okay, that seems too much." They went quiet and then I checked their app and it's all AI tutors or like AI presenters like beep beep beep beep and oh my gosh the stuff like so hallucinated and I'm like yesesh right I'll see most of you guys well thank you very much for getting to 100k um so yeah um yeah I'm going to go I'm going to go I don't what I'm going to go do.
I'm gonna go do something fun. Um, and I will see hopefully some of you tomorrow for forensics and I hopefully I'll see all of you on Thursday for schizophrenia and issues and debates. We'll do a two-hour one then. And uh yeah, get a cake. Maybe I should get a cake.
I'm just asleep. Uh, all right. Thanks so much for being on the stream everyone. I'll see you soon.
Cheers, Ash. Blood on the winds.
Bye.
