you will write a four-page paper (double-spaced, 1 inch margins, and 12-point font). It is
important to be a critical consumer of research. Research reports can sometimes be misleading
because authors “cherry pick” the findings to report (“Sub-group analysis”) and certain other
things to get an article accepted. You will find one scholarly article describing a study done by a
clinical or counseling psychologist or a psychologist doing clinically-relevant research, that has
also been reported on in the popular press. You will read both the popular article that describes
the findings from the journal article, AND the actual journal article.
You will write a paper that critically evaluates this popular report compared to the scholarly
article. Questions might include What did the popular article get right? What did it get wrong?
Was the popular article well-written and clear? Why or why not? Did the popular article convey
the main points of the research article? How would you make the popular article better?
Turn in this paper, a copy of the popular article, and a copy of the journal article together. Due

Here are some steps to guide you if you choose to focus on Milgram’s study: i want to do my paper on milgrams study and i used chatgpt to use this format
Find the Original Study: Look for Milgram’s original research article, titled “Behavioral Study of Obedience” published in 1963 in the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology. This will serve as your scholarly article.
Select a Popular Media Article: Find a recent article from a reputable newspaper, magazine, or online platform that discusses Milgram’s experiment. This will help you analyze how the study is presented to the general public versus the academic community.
Critical Analysis:
Compare how the results and implications of Milgram’s experiment are presented in both the scholarly article and the popular media article.
Evaluate the accuracy of the popular media report: Does it correctly represent the methods, results, and ethical considerations of Milgram’s study?
Discuss whether the media report simplifies complex issues, omits important information, or sensationalizes the findings to attract a broader audience.
Writing the Paper:
Introduction: Introduce Milgram’s study, its historical context, and its relevance today.
Main Body: Use at least three sections to critically analyze the portrayal of the study in the popular media compared to the scholarly article.
Conclusion: Summarize your findings and suggest ways to improve public understanding of psychological research based on your analysis.
References: Ensure you include references from both the original study and the popular article, along with other academic sources that discuss the experiment’s impact and ethical considerations.
