'Using examples from psychology, discuss the costs and benefits of psychology being a science.' (Unit 3: Implications in the Real World (1290U3), The Complete Companions: Eduqas Year 2 Psychology Student Book)
An A* essay on the Controversies section of A Level Psychology (according to the WJEC EDUQAS Unit 3: Implications in the Real World specification). I debated whether the biological approach & the positive approach had enough objectivity and quantifiability to give psychology its scientific status. To link this back to the question, I discussed the costs and benefits that both of these approaches had for scientific research and the wider economy. The mark scheme is included, and displays an indication of where I sat in regards to AO2 and AO3. This received 92% (23/25)
