PSY105 – General Psychology. K. Daniels

Papers for fulfilling Research Requirement or Extra-Credit

Below is a list of papers for use in Dr. Daniels’ course on General Psychology (PSY105). These papers can be used (a) as an alternative to the research-participation component of your Research Requirement; or (b) as the basis for a extra-credit points toward your final grade.

In both cases, you should carefully read the paper and then write a summary that describes and/or discusses the following points: (1) the main issue under investigation, including what the authors were trying to accomplish; (2) the research methods employed; (3) the main conclusions reached in the paper; (4) any problems or weakness of the research (either described in the paper, or noticed by you); and (5) your evaluation of the research and its implications.

DO NOT PLAGIARIZE. To be acceptable, your summary must be in your own words. You can use quotes from the paper or from some other source to make a point, but such quotes must include appropriate citations (similar to those used in the paper).

Summaries should be typed, single-spaced, in a 12-point, and 1 to 2 pages long.

If you summarize a paper for the purposes of completing your Research Requirement, each summary will be worth 1 credit. [Note that 4 credits, obtained either by participating in experiments or completing paper summaries, are needed to fulfill your Research Requirement]. If you summarize a paper for the purposes of gaining extra credit points toward your final grade, each summary will be worth 2 points.

Most of the papers listed below can be found at the UNCW library. If, after searching at the library, you cannot find one of the papers listed below, contact me and I may be able to provide you with a copy.
