steps to approaching an essay question - correct answer 1. Identify command terms
2. Identify content: What are you supposed to evaluate?
3. Identify relevant research studies: You should use two studies if "evaluating"
4. Evaluate your evidence: Identify the strengths and limitations of the studies you will use.
5. Directly answer the question: What do you need to do to answer the question?
SAQ command terms - correct answer Define: You should write no more than one or two sentences
in which you give a precise meaning of a term or concept used in psychology. You may want to include
an example to illustrate your definition.
Describe: You should write a detailed account on the topic of your question. When describing make sure
you address the main features (characteristics) of the concept, theory or research study in sufficient
detail.
Outline: You should write a brief description (account) or give the main points of something.
Analyse: Analysis asks for more than just a description; it includes breaking down complex concepts or
terms into their essential parts and describing how these parts relate. Usually this command term asks
you to recognize the underlying assumptions. When thinking about analysis, think "how does this
work?"
Distinguish: If you are asked to distinguish you need to show that you understand the differences
between two or more concepts or terms in psychology.
Explain: If you are asked to explain something, you should go beyond mere description and provide
complete information including background information or reasons for a phenomenon or type of
behavior
