Hey there, budding psychologist! Ready to dive deep into the human mind? Let's make sense of the psychology extended essay. And fear not, I'll sprinkle in some real-world examples to keep things interesting and relatable.

• Pro tip: The beginning's always the hardest! But once you find your groove, it's smooth sailing.
• Choosing a topic? Pick something you're curious about. Remember that time you wondered why you binge-watched that show? Or why your friend couldn't stop eating chocolate? 🍫 Dive into such curiosities.

• It's all about choice: There aren't easier or harder subjects; just ones you're more or less passionate about.
• Recommended for psych students: You should ideally be studying psychology. Why? Well, imagine trying to bake without knowing the ingredients!
• Go beyond: If it's something discussed in class, think of this as an extra deep dive. So, if you've talked about dreams in class, maybe explore why some people remember them while others don't. 🌙💭
• Word Limit: Up to 4,000 words. Yup, it's like a mini novel about the human mind!
• Research: You're a detective, but for psychology. And like Sherlock Holmes, you use existing clues. This means only secondary sources (like journals or books). No primary research or experiments allowed. No turning your little brother into a lab rat! 🐀🔍
• Exploration: It's a chance to learn more about why humans do what they do, beyond textbooks. Like why some of us are so obsessed with TikTok dance trends!
