Psychology SL practice: Use bias to evaluate a psychology claim

Psychology SL stimulus: In Melbourne, Year 11 students are involved in a school study using a sleep-tracking app and a stress survey. The focus is exam-week sleep and attention in morning lessons. Evidence says students who report short sleep also make more attention errors in first-period tasks. The method uses sleep app records, attention tasks, and one stress-rating survey with 45 participants over 3 weeks. The bias concern is that tired students may skip the app or under-report late-night phone use. Use the bias and control map before evaluating the claim. Select the psychology concept, content link, context application, and evaluation limit. Then answer this in your own words: how would this route improve the Psychology SL response 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.
