9.3.9 The use of psychology in social control.

Use - use of psychology in social control to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because - use of psychology in social control determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply - use of psychology in social control to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: - Use of psychology in social control is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
