    SECTION A

    Your task is to answer questions about how a piece of research related to the passage below could be conducted.

    Psychologists use a range of methods to collect their data including experiments and observations. Behaviourists believe that the subject matter of psychology should be observable behaviour and experiments can sometimes include the use of observational techniques. The presence of others can be studied experimentally by measuring what participants are doing rather than what they are thinking.

    You must choose one of the options (a)–(g):

    (a) The effect of the presence of others on musical performance.

    (b) The effect of the presence of others on sport performance.

    (c) The effect of the presence of others on mathematical skill.

    (d) The effect of the presence of others on acts of kindness.

    (e) The effect of the presence of others on aggressive behaviour.

    (f) The effect of the presence of others on food choices.

    (g) The effect of the presence of others on face recognition.

    You must use an independent measures design experiment and plan to collect data which measures observable behaviour. It must be a practical project that could be conducted.
