Select a topic of interest that relates to psychology and find at least 2 academic journal articles published after
2016 for your topic.
In a 4-page, double-spaced paper,
discuss the topic of interest. Summarize and relate the articles to each other and to terms and material you have learned in
class and from the textbook. You may include other sources such as books, Ted Talks, movies and/or additional articles
and sources. Avoid first person narrative (“I”) and personal opinion.
. If you are using a direct quote from an article, book, Ted Talk, etc. in your paper,
you must include an in-text citation at the end of the sentence (Authors last name, Year). See citations link on top of
Moodle course page for additional information on formatting. Include a separate page at the end for References. Here
you will cite all of the sources you used in APA format. Please include a cover page with your name, the name of this
course and your topic.
When using Science Daily to find a research article, you must scroll to the bottom of the page and find “Journal
Reference”. There you will find a DOI link that you can click on that will bring you to the original source (scientific
publication/academic research article). You need at least two scientific academic publications in your paper, and then as
many other resources you want to include to support your paper. We will go over this in class so you see an example of
this.
