Psychology SL practice: Focus an IA research question in a real-life context
Psychology SL stimulus: In Sydney, a health and well-being class practical involves students tracking late-night short-video use in a digital well-being project after exam revision week. The target behaviour is students explain how scrolling affects their morning mood and attention. The proposed method is semi-structured interview with 3 participants, using interview prompts plus a privacy-filtered screen-time summary. The evidence issue is phone evidence adds detail but raises privacy and self-presentation issues. A student is turning this into an IA research proposal. Use the IA research question map before judging whether the focus is narrow and answerable. Select the task focus, method decision, context evidence, and judgement boundary. Then answer this in your own words: what should the student do next to make this Psychology SL response or proposal stronger for this exact context? AI will analyse your reasoning, evidence use, concept-content-context link, method or ethics judgement, and expression.
Worked practice: build the response
Construct the psychological response: concept focus, supporting content, application to context, then an evaluation.
Write a full answer
Now write the response in full, in your own words — this is what the exam asks for. The AI marks it on the same moves you built above (focus, evidence, technique, judgement) and gives feedback on reasoning, evidence, and expression.
