Several students were asked to write answers to the following exam-style question:
Peter has obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). His friend Charlene is studying psychology and tries to explain to their friends why this may have developed in Peter. She says that mental disorders such as OCD can be caused by biological or psychological factors.

Charlene says she thinks biological factors are more important.
