In page 293 of the A2 book, the Mann-Whitney U test. Half way down it should say N1=10 instead of N1=0. Thanks to Ruth Bailey of Akeley Wood School for pointing this out.

Someone (not me!) mistakenly included a claim on the back cover of the A2 Complete Companion that we would be supplying answers to the ‘Can You’ questions on this blog. We did not intend to do this – partly because it would be a mammoth task! But equally it would somehow defeat the purpose to give students ‘an answer’. The intention of the A2 ‘Can Yous’ was to help students break their essays down into do-able chunks drawing on the material on the spread. While this might be useful to provide answers at AS, we didn’t think we should be providing this for A2 students. Having said that we do intend to produce an A2 exam companion (one day) which will provide some answers.

In the AS Complete Companion the arrows were incorrectly drawn in the diagram. The correct version is shown below and will appear in more recent reprints.cc-diagram-p12.jpg

I’d like to thank the students and staff at Twynham School for spotting our latest error. On page 41 we have swapped Type A and Type B in the table at the top – secure attachment is Type B and insecure-avoidant is Type A (it’s shown as the other way around in the table). This may seem strange but Ainsworth and co. deliberately did this so that secure attachment would not be labelled the ‘best’.

We are now on our 3rd reprint!! Which has given us the opportunity to correct a few more silly mistakes (some readers kindly write in and draw our attention to these – please feel free!)

Perhaps the most important error is on Page 45 , the bars on the graph have been mislabelled – the purple is resistant attachment and light blue/turquoise is secure attachment. Read the rest of this entry »
