Ron, Two points: 1) Even if you have a Simultaneous report, I think you are missing two of the four S's. Your "setting" is so general that asking for a "best" theory isn't really a specific choice. As a result, I'm not at all sure that students would view your question as a Significant problem. There are a variety of ways that you could modify the question so that it was both Significant and Specific. The starting spot would be to give a much richer scenario (i.e.,, lots of detail about the patient). Then you could ask something like, "Which theory would most clearly support (or recommend against) the idea of _____ (fill in the blank with a plausible next step in treating the patient. Another possibility would be to name a plausible next treatment step and ask something like, "Which theory would predict that the outcome would be _____ (and specify some plausible outcome). Another possibility would be to ask, "Based on _____ (name a specific theory), what would be the most critical component of any treatment plan for effectively treating this patient. 2) You DO need to give all of the groups the Same problem (that's one of the 4 S's). If students are working with different scenarios, they will have neither motivation or information to challenge other groups decisions.
