eneralisable – are the results generalisable? If so, to who? If not, why?
eliability – can the study be considered reliable? If so, why? If not, why? What type of reliability?
pplication - Can the findings from the study be applied to real life? What was the take away message from the study? (Think of our ‘PALS’ questions)

5. How to structure an answer
Look back at the ‘model’ answers I gave you last lesson
What did we think was good?

6. How to structure an answer
Imagine we are trying to say a study lacks mundane realism as a weakness Task: Using four different colours, identify the Point, Explanation, Link and Counter argument (if present) in the answers provided
Counter-argument

State your point
One weakness of the study NAME is that it lacks mundane realism…
Explain your point
