Credit up to two marks for accurate identification (AO1).
Credit up to two marks for justification (AO3).
For example:
- Identification is when someone will change their external
behaviours to the requirements of others (1) so they will
appear to conform to expectations so effectively changing
behaviour (1) however, people who identify do not change
