Research Paper: Final Submission

Psychology is a science. Many psychologists are interested in doing research. The research is then shared with the larger scientific community in scholarly journals after being vetted by experts in the field. To give you a brief idea of research, you are required to find and read one empirical study in a scholarly journal. Empirical study means that this is an article where the authors write about a study they actually performed (not only about theoretical issues or a compilation or studies other people have done called theoretical papers or literature reviews).

Work with your summary and the main points of the article. It is important that you close the article while you are doing this so you can be sure you are not plagiarizing (changing a couple words or switching phrases around still constitutes plagiarism).
Write down a 3 paragraph description of the article including why the authors performed this study, what tools and participants they used, and what they found.
Compare the information you read to the topic information found in your textbook along the lines of whether this is the same information, or different. Did the article extend on the stuff that is found in your text? Does it contradict it in some way? Can you reconcile the two? Are there any questions that are still left unanswered? What further research would you do if you were the author of the article? What other questions would you like answers to?
Create APA citations for your article and the pages you referred to in your textbook. To review how to do APA citations, please refer to the resources below.
