Using the two articles from the Topic 5 and 6 assignments, choose the article that best explains research methods used by psychologists, including the advantages and disadvantages.
In 500-750 words, apply concepts learned in this course to make an argument why the article is the best option. Use APA format, citing evidence from the article.
Include the following:
Is the study replicable? (Was it actually replicated — if not, could you replicate it?) What is the evidence for its replicability?
If the research is outdated, then how does it relate to a modern media claim? Would the study need to be altered?
Is the study in generalization mode or theory-testing mode? Explain how this affects the types of validities prioritized.
Explain how the study is important in the real world and how it advanced research. Then find two additional scholarly and peer-reviewed articles that extend the research. Summarize the articles and explain how the research was replicated and extended.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. Including a properly formatted reference page and in-text citations.
