Paper 3- Research Methodology

[Nlawliet]

Hey guys,

In paper 3 of psychology , where we have the stimulus material and question based on research methods,

are we suppose to evaluate the research method seen only in the stimulus?

For example

" We can see the advantages of qualatative in this study here......"

but suppose there was a point of qualatative data that wasnt in the study but will help answer the question , should u mention it?

For example

"Qualatative data has many interpretations to it, but that cannot be seen in this study."

Please help me understand this .

Thank you

I think you definitely need to include the research method in the stimulus material. Since P3 is all about evaluating qualitative methods it makes sense to me that you could mention other research methods that are not in the stimulus material to highlight the limitations of the research method in the stimulus material.

I hope that makes sense.

You must include evaluation of a stimuli material to score anything above 7 points out of 10.

Thank you for your response.

But I meant should we mention points not within the stimulus material but still pertains to the question?

Can you elaborate by providing an example of what you mean? I don't have a very clear picture of what you're asking.
