Model answer
What a good answer should say
- A strong answer gives AO1 knowledge about idiographic, applies it to the question context, and adds AO3 evaluation by explaining whether research evidence, validity, reliability or bias supports the claim.
- For data-handling objectives, identify whether the evidence is qualitative or quantitative and apply the interpretation to the data context.
