Model answer
What a good answer should say
- The response should define the relevant psychological concept, link it to a named theory, study, method, treatment or data pattern, and then judge why that evidence strengthens or limits the conclusion.
- Where the objective uses statistical language, identify the statistic or statistical infrequency concept explicitly.
- For statistics objectives, name the statistic, test, probability, significance level or decision rule so the conclusion follows from the data.
- For data-handling objectives, identify whether the evidence is qualitative or quantitative and apply the interpretation to the data context.
