Article Summary Paper<\/span> <\/span>(10<\/span> <\/span>possible)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Please follow the instructions and guidelines below. If you are unclear about any of this information, please ask.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What is a summary paper?<\/span><\/u><\/span><\/u><\/h3>\n

This paper will require you to read and summarize the major elements of an empirical research paper. I suggest also looking at the example papers, which will give you a nice visual image of APA style that you can mimic in your own paper.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This summary paper will include the following things: <\/span><\/span><\/u><\/span><\/u><\/h3>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

1.<\/span><\/span> <\/span>Title page: 1 page (.5 points<\/span>)<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7      <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Use APA style to present the appropriate information: <\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

o   <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Remember that we follow the \u201cprofessional\u201d guidelines for formatting from the 7th<\/sup> <\/span>edition of the APA manual! See the title page of this document for a template! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

o   <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>A Running head must be included and formatted APA style <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a7  <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>There must be a page number on the title page that is right justified. It is included in the header<\/span><\/p>\n

o   <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Your paper title appears on the title page. This is usually 12 words or less, and the first letter of each word is capitalized. It should be descriptive of the paper (For this paper, you should use the title of the article you are critiquing. The paper title can be the same title as in the Running head or it can differ \u2013 your choice) <\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

o   <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Your name will appear on the title page<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

o   <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Your institution will appear on the title page as well<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

o   <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>For all papers, make sure to double-space EVERYTHING and use Times New Roman font. This includes everything from the title page through the references. <\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

o   <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>This is standard APA format. ALL of your future papers will include a similar title page<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/span><\/span><\/b> <\/span>Summary of the Article: 1 \u00bd page minimum, 3 pages maximum – <\/span>8<\/span>)<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

An article summary should briefly summarize, in your own words, the article research question and how it was addressed in the article. Below are some things to include in your summary. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7      <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>The summary itself will include the following: (Note \u2013 if the article involved more than one experiment, you can either choose to focus on one of the studies specifically or summarize the general design for all of the studies)<\/span><\/p>\n

1.     <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Description of the overall purpose of the study (this can be as little as one sentence, and no more than 2 sentences)<\/span><\/p>\n

2.     <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Type of study (Was it experimental or correlational? How do you know?)<\/span><\/p>\n

3.     <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Variables: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1.     <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>What were the independent and dependent variables? Be specific with these. Define the terms independent and dependent variable and make sure to identify how they are operationally defined in the article)<\/span><\/p>\n

4.     <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Participants: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1.     <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>How many were there? How were they recruited?<\/span><\/p>\n

5.     <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Method: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1.     <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Was there random assignment to groups? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2.     <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>What did the participants do in the study?). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3.     <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>How was data collected (online, in person, archival data, etc.)<\/span><\/p>\n

6.     <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Note the findings (What were their results\/findings?). Don\u2019t include the statistical analyses that they did, instead, focus on the overall interpretation for these findings.  <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

3.     <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>References \u2013 1 page (.5 points<\/span>)<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7      <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Provide the reference for this article in proper APA format (see the book Chapter 14 for appropriate referencing guidelines or the Chapter 14 powerpoint). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7      <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>If you cited other sources during either your summary, reference them as well (though you do not need to cite other sources in this assignment \u2013 this is merely optional IF you happen to bring in other sources). Formatting counts here, so make sure to italicize where appropriate and watch which words you are capitalizing!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

4.     <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>Grammar and Writing Quality (1 point<\/span>)<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00b7      <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Few psychology courses are as writing intensive as Research Methods (especially Research Methods Two next semester!). As such, I want to make sure that you develop writing skills early. This is something that needs special attention, so make sure to proofread your papers carefully. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7      <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Avoid run-on sentences, sentence fragments, spelling errors, and grammar errors. Writing quality will become more important in future papers, but this is where you should start to hone your writing skills. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7      <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>We will give you feedback on your papers, but I recommend seeking some help from the FIU writing center to make sure your paper is clear, precise, and covers all needed material. I also recommend asking a few of your group members to read over your paper and make suggestions. You can do the same for them! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/h3>\n

Other guidelines: <\/span><\/u><\/h3>\n

 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • 2). Page size is 8 1\/2 X 11\u201d with all 4 margins set one inch on all sides. You <\/span>must<\/span><\/u><\/b> <\/span><\/span>use 12-point Times New Roman font (Note: these instructions are in 12 point Times New Roman font). <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  • 3). As a general rule, ALL paragraphs and sentences are double spaced in APA papers. This includes the spacing in your Paper I: Article Summary Paper. It even includes the references, so make sure to double space EVERYTHING<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  • 4). When summarizing the article in your own words, you need not continually cite the article throughout the rest of your critique. Nonetheless, you should follow proper referencing procedures, which means that: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
      \n
    • If you are inserting a direct quote from any source, it must be enclosed in quotations and followed by a parenthetical reference to the source. \u201cLet\u2019s say I am directly quoting this current sentence and the next. I would then cite it with the author name, date of publication, and the page number for the direct quote\u201d (Winter, 2013, p . 4). <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
        \n
      1. Note: We will deduct points if you quote more than once per page, so keep quotes to a minimum. Paraphrase instead, but make sure you still give the original author credit for the material by citing him or using the author\u2019s name (\u201cIn this article, Smith noted that \u2026\u201d or \u201cIn this article, the authors noted that\u2026\u201d)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      2. If you choose to reference any source other than your chosen article, it must be listed in a reference list. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      3. 5). PLEASE use a spell checker to avoid unnecessary errors. Proofread everything you write. I actually recommend reading some sentences aloud to see if they flow well, or getting family or friends to read your work. Writing quality will become more important in future papers, so you should start working on that now!<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

         <\/span><\/b><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

          \n
        • If you have any questions about the articles, your ideas, or your writing, please ask. Although we won\u2019t be able to review entire drafts of papers before they are handed in, we are very willing to discuss problems, concerns or issues that you might have.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

           <\/p>\n

          Purpose of the Summary Paper<\/h2>\n

          1). Psychological Purpose<\/span><\/p>\n

          This paper serves several purposes, the first of which is helping you gain insight into research papers in psychology. As this may be your first time reading and writing papers in psychology, one goal of Paper I is to give you insight into what goes into such papers. This paper will help you learn about the various sections of an empirical research report by reading at least <\/span>one<\/u> <\/span>peer-reviewed articles (articles that have a Title Page, Abstract, Literature Review, Methods Section, Results Section, and References Page). This paper will also give you some insights into how the results sections are written in APA formatted research articles. Pay close attention to those sections, as throughout this course you\u2019ll be writing up some results of your own! You\u2019ll need this practice when you go to write your article critique paper this semester. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

          2). APA Formatting Purpose<\/span><\/p>\n

          The second purpose of the this paper is to teach you proper American Psychological Association (APA) formatting. In the instructions below, I tell you how to format your paper using APA style. There are a lot of very specific requirements in APA papers, so pay attention to the instructions below as well as Chapter 14 in your textbook! I highly recommend using the Paper I Checklist before submitting your paper, as it will help walk you through the picky nuances of APA formatting. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

          3). Writing Purpose<\/span><\/p>\n

          Finally, this paper is intended to help you grow as a writer. Few psychology classes give you the chance to write papers and receive feedback on your work. This class will! We will give you feedback on this paper in terms of content, spelling, and grammar. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
