Do we need to use different background research than we did in the intro?? Thanks :P

I take it this is about the A2 independent coursework? According to one paragraph in the textbook I used:

Remember that you should not need to introduce background studies into the discussion section that have not been mentioned previously in the introduction. If you find that you are doing this, then your selection of studies in the introduction may need revising.

So no, probably not. :p:

And to be honest, I don't see why you'd need to introduce new studies myself -- if you're doing a study on obedience to authority, for example, it'd seem silly to omit an experiment as significant as Milgram's just because you'd already mentioned it in the intro.

You are meant to refer to studies you cited in the introduction. As it says above, if you are then you are doing something wrong. Just add it into your introduction. :smile:
