Description: Critical evaluation is the key to scoring a 7 in IB Psychology. You can't just describe a study—you must analyze its quality!
In this crucial video, we break down the four pillars you must use to evaluate any piece of research, whether it's quantitative or qualitative:
Generalizability: The external validity question. When and where can we apply the findings?
Sampling: We compare the pros and cons of different sampling techniques (random, opportunity, volunteer) and their impact on Generalizability.
Credibility: Why is this concept more important for qualitative research? We discuss triangulation and researcher perspective.
Bias: A comprehensive look at the biggest threats to research quality: Researcher Bias, Participant Bias (Demand Characteristics), and Cultural Bias.Follow my Instagram page for quick study reminders: @ib_psychology_2027
The 6 CORE CONCEPTS of the new IB DP Psychology Guide (First Assessment 2027) are the secret to success in Paper 1 and Paper 2. This video and poster break down the essential questions you need to be asking in every unit to achieve conceptual understanding.
WHY THESE 6 CONCEPTS MATTER: The IB has designed this course to move beyond simple memorization of studies. These concepts are the lens through which you analyze theories and research across all contexts (Health, Development, Relationships, Learning).
The 6 Essential Conceptual Questions:
Bias: In what way may our knowledge of human behaviour be biased?
Causality: How can we know the cause(s) of observed behaviour?
Change: How can we know if a behaviour is a result of natural maturation or purposeful intervention?
Measurement: How can we express complex psychological constructs in terms of observable, measurable behaviour?
Perspective: What are the strengths and limitations of a reductionist approach to studying behaviour?
Responsibility: What is the responsibility of a psychologist when publishing or carrying out research?
