The student effectively outlines the topic of their study at the beginning of the essay, clearly explaining the aim and context of the research. They establish a strong connection between the posed research question and their knowledge of the topic, demonstrating a clear understanding of the subject matter. The essay's focus is well-maintained throughout, with relevant resources predominantly sourced from accredited psychological journals and books. Additionally, the research question is directly relevant to psychology and the essay is mainly based on secondary sources, providing a novel insight into the subject area. However, the essay lacks a clear academic context and justification behind the choice of the research question, and it does not fully explain why the topic is worthy of investigation based on the presented academic context. Furthermore, while the student describes the approach to the topic, they do not provide a clear discussion of relevant psychological theories and studies that will be incorporated into the work.
