A level psychology 16 marker marking

hey guys. would it be possible for anyone to have a look at my 16 marker and mark my answer? Please be brutally honest. I asked ChatGPT and lets just say its a bit of a people pleaser and so I would like someone to mark it for me and give me some sort of constructive criticism. There maybe some minor typos as i used a pic to text converter.
The essay is as follows:
Discuss what psychological research has told us about why people conform. (16 marks)
Psychological research has shown us explanations for as to why individuals conform to a majority group through normative and informational social influence. Normative social influence was tested by Asch (1971) line study of conformity. Normative social influence is when an individual takes on the majority's view and beliefs in order to not deviate from the group and fit in. Asch found this after interviewing his participants as they stated that they conformed to the common, incorrect answer of the majority in order to fit in and avoid rejection in the group. This explained why 75% of the participants conformed at least once to 12/18 critical trials in which confederates gave an incorrect answer. Informational social influence was shown by Lucas et al. (2006) study in maths problems in which confederates also gave incorrect answers. Those rating their maths skills as poor (poor efficacy in maths) were more likely to conform to the majority when they were in an ambiguous situation. They looked up to the majority as knowing they would be correct. Informational social influence applies here as a naïve participant conforms to the majority, in order to be correct. This is more of a cognitive, rather than emotional explanation for conformity.
A strength of psychological research like Asch and Lucas' study is that the methodological practices used were lab experiments. These are very strong, controlled environments in which standardised procedures were used to ensure all participants were treated equally and so the conditions could be replicable for future studies (increasing reliability). It also consisted of controlling extraneous variables, to avoid any sort of confounding variable impacting results, thus increasing internal validity. This is a strength as it enables us to generalise findings to the target population and on a whole, shows that psychological research on explaining conformity is valid and can be applied in general laws (in a nomothetic way) to form conclusions of how people may react/behave in similar situations. However, a counterargument may be that lab experiments, such as judging the length of lines, may lack mundane realism. Such tasks may not reflect real world and more complex tasks in which conformity occurs, and therefore psychological research in this form of lab experiments may be very limited in generalisability.
A weakness may be that psychological research may consist of gender bias. Studies done by Asch for example consisted of 123 US male undergraduates. Results from research were applied to the target population, including females, who were not represented in the sample. As a result, the study can be seen to include beta bias, while could be a strength as we assume males and females are alike, a popular feminist view, can be a weakness as in the real world, females may behave differently in the same situation and this may be shocking for us as we expect females to behave in a particular way as males did in the results of Asch's study. This could be seen to be socially sensitive as if females behaved drastically different to males, and we did not expect it, a negative label may be placed on females and may be stigmatised for their behaviour. As a result, psychological research into explaining conformity may consist of gender misproportionation, and therefore have limited generalisability on explaining why people conform.

You have waffled a lot in your A01 as well. Just be straightforward and concise because this isn't english literature bro you don't need to make it sound super sophisticated. You don't have allat time in the exam.

😭😭 thanks for that, i seem to be okay with my timing but i see what you mean abt the chunky amount of AO1. Thanks for that
