IB Psychology HL Internal Assessment Example

You state a clear investigation aim and make its relevance to real-world decision-making easy to understand.

You explain the main psychological theory well enough to show why framing should affect choices.

You identify the independent and dependent variables clearly and show that the hypothesis matches the task.

The hypothesis would be stronger if the key conditions were fully operationalized in the statement itself.

The relationship between the two theories needs to be kept more precise so the reader can see which one is the main basis of the investigation.

Some of the wording remains a little general, so the introduction does not yet feel fully replicated and self-contained.

You describe the research design clearly and explain why an independent-samples approach suits the investigation.

You identify the sample and sampling technique well enough for the reader to understand who took part.

You explain several control measures and materials in a way that shows awareness of fairness and validity.

Some procedural details could be more specific so another researcher could reproduce the study exactly.

A few participant and timing choices are asserted rather than fully justified.

The sample rationale would be stronger if every claim about participant characteristics were directly supported.
