Practise IB Psychology HL 2.3.2 by analysing research methods and evaluating how evidence supports or limits conclusions about biological processes and behaviour.
Discuss the use of two compliance techniques.
Refer to the paper 1 section B assessment criteria when awarding marks.
The command term "discuss" requires candidates to offer a considered review, supported by appropriate evidence, that includes a range of arguments or factors related to the compliance techniques.
Two compliance techniques should be discussed, such as:
- reciprocity
- foot in the door
- low balling
- door in the face
- bait and switch.
Discussion may include the following points:
- factors that influence compliance
- efficacy of the techniques
- conditions under which techniques may be employed
- cultural considerations
- empirical evidence
- ethical considerations.
If a candidate discusses more than two compliance techniques, credit should be given only to the discussion of the first two compliance techniques.
If a candidate discusses only one compliance technique, apply the markbands up to a maximum of [11 marks].
