Conduct independent psychological research with consultation
You're doing your own psychology research project from start to finish, with your teacher checking in along the way to give feedback and make sure it's ethical. You'll need to come up with a research question linked to psychology, pick a method that actually works, follow ethical guidelines, collect and analyze your data, and write it all up with clear conclusions. The better you do at explaining your choices and thinking deeply about what your results mean, the higher your grade.
You conduct your own psychological research with a clear aim, appropriate method, ethical consideration, and reach a valid conclusion based on your data.
You conduct your research in depth by explaining why you chose your method, evaluating how reliable and valid your data collection was, and discussing what your findings mean for the psychological concepts you were studying.
You comprehensively conduct your research by justifying your entire research design and method, using your findings to suggest directions for future research, and providing a full list of your sources.
