maybe its one of those q's where they allow various answers with acceptable justification
Guys i am really nervous i keep on thinking about the paper 2, can someone tell me if i would get a mark for the last q about why type 1 error is less likely, i said researcher used 0.05 level of significance and type one error is more likely to occur when 0.1 level of significant or in other words more leniant significant figure is used.? also for the first and second q on approches i only said ego is mediatoe between id its reality principle and it balances conflict of id and supergo and is part od conscious mind where as superego is morality principle it part of unconscious mind and is based on things in society that are seen moral☹️ how many marks will this get?
also the karishma girl i only said there is a gap in her self conceplt and realsef and that she is clearly smart got good gcse but does not apply to uni as her self concept is not congrient with her real self and for the next q i said patient centred therapy and providing unconditional positive regards and showing empathy to over come her conditions of worrth problem and idk if they r corrent i would appreciate it if someone helps me out:smile:

i checked the website and they said it was a field experiment when I'm pretty sure it was a quasi experiment

I'm no examiner, but I think the chance of it being quasi is slim. Check this out. And this.

Now let's revisit the question:

The researcher carried out the study using children from two local nursery schools. There were 30 children of each age group at nursery A. There were 20 children of each age group at nursery B. All parents gave informed consent for their children to take part in the study. The researcher used stratified sampling of the nurseries. Ten 2-year-olds and ten 4-year-olds took part in the study. Each child was observed for 15 minutes during playtime in an area of the nursery where they could choose to play with building blocks, a sandpit and a slide. The researcher recorded how long each child spent playing with each activity.

It smells field to me.

A field experiment is similar (to natural experiment), in that individuals are usually randomly assigned to groups, where this is possible, and the IV is manipulated by the researcher. However, as this takes place in the participants’ natural surroundings, the extraneous variables that could confound the findings of the research are somewhat more difficult to control.

A quasi-experiment is similar to either or both of the above, but the participants are not randomly allocated to groups. Instead they are allocated on the basis of self-selection as male/female; left or right-handed; preference for coffee or tea; young/old, etc. or researcher selection as scoring above or below and certain level on a pre-test; measured socio-economic status; psychology student or biology student, etc. These are therefore, non-equivalent groups. The IV is often manipulated and the DV measured as before, but the nature of the groups is a potential confounding variable.

i thought it was field bc the manipulated IV would be the options of toys to play with

This. They limited the play options to 3. They sampled the 4-year-olds and controlled the play options. I don't understand what is so hard to understand here.
