I raise some cautionary issues in this paper by critiquing the methodology

There are several research design methods that have been developed for the field of psychology. Instead of arguing over which is the best method‚ it is more appropriate to compare two of the favored designs. Each one has positive attributes along with negative factors that may influence results. It is more important to understand and decipher which is the most appropriate method to utilize based upon the theory you are working towards. The two designs that

Question 4 How consistent were Bismarck’s aims and methods from 1862 to 1871? The key word in this question about Bismarck was ‘consistent’. Most of the answers deployed accurate knowledge about developments from 1862 to 1871.

Moderate answers sometimes asserted in an introduction or conclusion that he was consistent and otherwise relied on narratives of developments
