The paper MUST be about a topic in Social Psychology.

Requirements: The student studies the literature about a question or controversy surrounding a topic related to the class concepts, forms a thesis statement based on his/her understanding of the material read, and then argues for that thesis statement. The student moves beyond simply reporting the information gathered from the literature to a complex analysis of the material, formulation of a position related to the question or controversy, and then supports his/her position with material drawn from the literature.

When picking a topic, consider the following:

1. Pick something you are really interested in, maybe something that you were interested in before you took this class. This will help you tremendously because this paper won't even *seem* like work if it is something you enjoy. And, you'll do a better job if you are really interested in the topic.

2. Pick something for which you can find a reasonable number of papers. Take your X and Y variables and go plug them in to PsycInfo/PsycLit, or even Google Scholar (but be careful, it returns a lot of fluff). I highly recommend starting with review papers. These papers won't count toward your "Peer Reviewed Journal Article" total, but they will be packed with good, readable information AND references to papers that are empirical original sources.

3.v I highly recommend using Contents pages at the front of our textbook. Read over the section titles. Not all of them make for good paper topics (e.g. "Arousal" is way too vague), but some of them make for good paper topics (e.g. "Culture and Socialization: Cultures of Honor" and "Violence in TV, Movies, Music Lyrics, and Video Games" are both reasonably specific and reasonably controversial for an Argumentative Essay).

Length: 5-7 double-spaced pages of text, 1 Title Page, 1 Abstract page, and 1 References page; Submit: 8-10 pages.

References: Include a reference to our textbook and at least four (4) additional peer-reviewed journal articles. See our course syllabus for examples of professional journals.

Style and Format: Use APA style. See the Guide for Writing in APA Style in Course Home and Doc Sharing. Your grade will be impacted by your use of APA style as well as proper grammar, sentence structure, organization, spelling, punctuation, and the overall presentation of your work. Submit your paper as a Microsoft Word document using Times New Roman font, 12-point type, double spacing, and 1 inch margins. Number pages in the upper right hand corner. Place page numbers opposite the running head as your header. Insert this onto your title page (do not type it onto the page).
