IB Psychology IA Methodology – Research Design & Procedure

Guide to writing the Methodology section of your IB Psychology IA. Covers design, participants, materials, and procedure.

The IA Methodology must clearly describe: research design (experimental, correlational), participants (sampling method, characteristics), materials (stimuli, questionnaires), procedure (step-by-step), and ethical considerations (informed consent, debriefing). Write with enough detail that another researcher could replicate your study exactly.
