A vocational training board commissioned an educational psychologist to investigate acute performance anxiety among apprentice aerospace technicians during their high-stakes practical safety assessments. The psychologist designed a mobile diary application to track self-reported anxiety and physiological symptoms immediately before and after their final engine assembly exams.
To protect participant confidentiality, the psychologist ensured that no names, student ID numbers, or device IP addresses were recorded, instead assigning each apprentice a random alphanumeric code (e.g., APP-842) for data entry.
The psychologist ensured confidentiality by using random alphanumeric codes to anonymise the apprentice technicians' data.
