The student clearly describes and explains the research design, indicating the use of an independent measures design with random assignment to conditions, which effectively mitigates order effects and demand characteristics. The sampling technique is well-articulated as convenience sampling, with participants selected based on their availability, and relevant characteristics of the participants, including age and gender balance, are appropriately noted. The student justifies the choice of participants by controlling for age and excluding current Psychology students to enhance validity. Additionally, controlled variables are identified and described, with clear reasoning provided for their control to isolate the independent variable's effect. However, the student fails to list all materials used in the methodology and does not clarify how each material supports the experiment's aims, indicating areas for improvement.
