Hello Guys, this is my first post here. It's a very nice community to have. I need help on my EE specific topic from the general topic of the side effects of gaming. My first research question, which was destined to be rejected the first moment I decided, was: To what extent are the researches about violence caused by gaming true? The teacher said that I can use "To what extent does gaming cause violence" To which I modified it to, "To what extent do violent video games cause violence" And then, again the teacher said: that I need to rephrase it to a better question. But then, she sent me link

Hi, I am taking Psychology HL and I want to do my Extended Essay Topic in the field of Psychology. My current question is "How does The Penthouse: War in Life exhibit how narcissistic parents can contribute to mental health effects in their children?". I want to know if this is a good and higher-level research question or if I should change it. I want my EE to be about either narcissistic parenting and how it leads to mental health effects in their children as different children develop differently due to the type of narcissistic parent they have. I want to start my research v

Hello!! I am writing my psychology IA right now, but now I'm at the result section and I don't understand a thing! My teacher does not explain this well, and he doesn't seem to be certain about what he's doing. There was actually a few people last year who failed their psychology, mainly because of their IAs so I'm a bit terrified! I'm a HL student, so I will need inferential statistics but how does that actually work?? For example, my teacher said I should use the General Linear Model, but I don't know if I'm allowed to use that.. I haven't found anyone who have used it before, but

My IB psych teacher just warned us not to write in first person POV on the IA, even when outlining our procedures. I was a little confused, seeing as the IAs for every other course seem to encourage the use of first person POV, and in this one I'm literally outlining my research and actions. Is it actually a no-go, or is it just my teacher's personal preference?

I'm doing my EE in psych, and i've hit writers block and i don't know if my RQ is too broad. Here's my RQ: 'Do socio-cognitive theories influence digital romantic practices on social media?' Plus my first draft deadline is in 9 days. HELP!

Apologies for the repetitive questions, I'm a bit stressed. I've chosen Psychology for next year because Design's mostly seen as a soft subject for UK unis. I really want to switch thought because Design was also my original choice, I'm just a bit worried about my grades as I'm really not good at memorisation (absolutely terrible). The reason I chose Psych over Design was also because it has a lot of resources online that could maybe help me with the memorisation while I can barely find anything for Design Tech. Would you guys recommend me to stay in Psych or switch?

I need some help deciding on my group 3. My school only offers History HL and Psychology HL, so I'm basically being forced to sacrifice one of my HL's to group 3. I'm interested in both, I like learning about history, and I also find Psychology fascinating. Ultimately, the deciding factor for my will be the IA. Which IA is easier? The IA for History HL or Psychology HL? Also workload and what you do in the class. Is there more work in History HL or Psychology HL? What kind of work

Hi guys! I'm having a really hard time choosing between economics or psychology for my social studies subject. I find psychology interesting and I have no idea what's involved in economics.

Hello. Recently I have had meetings with school administration regarding which IB subjects I want to select. I am certain of most of my subjects aside from Physics and Psychology. As it stands, my subjects are as follows: HL English Lang.Lit. HL History SL Maths SL French Ab initio I would like to do Physics and Psychology, one of course HL and the other SL. Choosing Pysch HL would allow me to achieve a higher score than doing HL Physics. On the other hand, selecting HL Physics would allow for a wider range of university/career choices. I am thinking of moving into a course studying Artificial

Hey guys! So I have to submit my psych IA (Loftus and Palmer) really soon and I'm having trouble justifying my reason for choosing an opportunity sample. This is what I wrote: "Participants were gathered using an opportunity sample. There were 21 participants in total, with 11 participants from a homeroom class in Group 1, and the 10 remaining participants from a psychology class in Group 2. We organized them based on their classes so it was easy to find a time where all participants in a group were free. Afterwards, the groups were randomly allocated one of the two conditions"

I want to do something like: assess the role of exercise in the rehabilitation of teens recovering from substance abuse. I have found a few studies about it and I really like the topic, I just don't know how "psychology" it actually is. I also want to make sure that this is an okay thing to talk about in an essay. If anyone else has any ideas please let me know. Thanks!

Psychology IA Statistics Help (Tversky and Kahneman 1974) I chose to do my IA on the Tversky and Kahneman 1974 experiment on the anchoring bias. Basically, it was an independent samples design. In condition A, the participants were asked to estimate a numerical expression in ascending order 1 X 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7 x 8. In condition B, it was presented in descending order 8 X 7 X 6 X 5 X 4 X 3 X 2 X 1. I already ran the experiment, but my problem is with getting the statistics. As it is independent measures, my teacher said to use the Mann-Whitney test. However, when I input my dat
