Psychology HL practice: Judge experimental and non-experimental inference in HL sources

Psychology HL Paper 3 source booklet: The HL extension is culture within health and well-being. Source A graph reports hydration reminder count for personal-goal reminder (49) and team-responsibility reminder (67) from 113 participants using coach tallies during three warm-weather training sessions. Source B reports the qualitative theme "players said reminders worked better when they sounded like caring for the group, not policing individuals" from 20 participants using team debrief comments. Source C says training logs show fewer missed drink breaks after team-responsibility reminders. The claim is: "collective responsibility norms improve health-protective peer behaviour." Use the Paper 3 inference check before deciding what the source evidence can and cannot support. Select the HL extension focus, source issue, data conclusion, and synthesis limit. Then answer this in your own words: what should the student write next to make this Psychology HL Paper 3 response stronger for the exact sources? AI will analyse your source interpretation, data reasoning, extension knowledge, research-method judgement, synthesis, and expression.
