<\/span>The methods I will be
\nimposing for my study are as follows: When it comes to the participants, this
\nstudy will recruit 60 Gavilan College students aged 18-25 through voluntary
\nparticipation. Participants will be randomly assignedto either the experimental
\ngroup (no intervention) The <\/p>\nMethods: Detail your proposed method. If you’re conducting
\nan experiment or survey, explain your selection of participants, the
\nindependent and dependent variables, your experimental design, and how you plan
\nto collect and analyze data. If you aren’t collecting your own data, provide a
\ncomprehensive plan of how you would do it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Results: If you’ve collected data, present your results
\nhere. If not, acknowledge that no data was collected and this section is not
\napplicable.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Discussion: Discuss the potential implications of your
\nresearch. If you’ve collected data, interpret your results here. If not,
\ndiscuss what you anticipate the results could be based on your literature
\nreview.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
References and Appendix: Include a full list of references
\nin APA style. If you’ve created a survey, include this in the appendix. If not,
\nthere is no need for an appendix.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

\nintroduction is engaging and states the research question. The literature
\nreview is comprehensive and synthesizes research relevant to the question.<\/p>\n
Methods (20 points): The chosen method is appropriate and
\nclearly described, including details on participants, variables, and
\nprocedures.<\/p>\n

Rubric for Final Paper without Survey\/Experiment:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Title and Abstract (10 points): The title accurately
\nreflects the content of the paper. The abstract provides a concise summary of
\nthe paper.<\/p>\n
**Introduction and Literature Review (30 points)**: The
\nintroduction is engaging and states the research question. The literature
\nreview is comprehensive, synthesizing research relevant to the question. Extra
\nscholarly sources are incorporated to account for the lack of empirical data.<\/p>\n
Methods (20 points): The proposed method is appropriate and
\nclearly described, including details on how participants would be selected,
\nvariables would be handled, and procedures would be followed.<\/p>\n
Discussion (25 points): Potential results based on the
\nliterature review are discussed. The implications of these hypothetical
\nfindings are outlined, and potential limitations of the proposed methods are
\nidentified.<\/p>\n
APA style (15 points): Paper strictly adheres to APA style,
\nincluding references and formatting. The appendix includes the hypothetical
\nsurvey questions if a survey method was proposed.<\/p>\n
These rubrics are designed to be flexible and accommodate
\nthe dynamic nature of the assignment. Remember that clarity, thoroughness, and
\naccuracy in presenting your ideas are key aspects in both cases. The two
\nversions of the assignment have different focuses, so be sure to stick to the
\nexpectations set out in the relevant rubric. Good luck, and happy researching!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To be clear, journal articles are journal-style scientific
\npapers and focus on research by reporting the details of the research conducted
\nby the author(s). Accordingly, these articles contain sections that coincide
\nwith the experimental process: <\/span>abstract,
\nintroduction, methods, results, and discussion.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Be sure that the articles you find has these sections and
\nthat the study was published within the last 15 years. Here is a good example
\nof what a journal article looks like: Journal Article ExampleLinks to an
\nexternal site..<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The paper should be 7 pages at a minimum.<\/p>\n
TurnItIn<\/p>\n
TurnItIn will scan your work for plagiarism and AI writing.
\nBe very careful here. Here are a few key points you want to know:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
TurnItIn is embedded into Canvas, so you do not need a
\nseparate enrollment key.<\/p>\n
Anything below 20% similarity or AI is considered
\nacceptable.<\/p>\n
Anything between 20-40% similarity or AI will either receive
\na low grade, or a student can request a rewrite submission. The rewrite
\nsubmission will receive a lower score than is turned in on time with a
\nsimilarity score lower than 20%, but will likely be higher than the original
\nscore.<\/p>\n
Anything above a 40% similarity or AI score will receive a
\nzero score, and the student will likely be referred to the Office of Student
\nAffairs for plagiarism.<\/p>\n
To summarize, make sure you credit your sources and use your
\nown original work for the vast majority of your paper.<\/p>\n

Tips<\/p>\n
Tip #1:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To access the databases, you need your Foothill login
\ndetails. This is the same ID and password you use to login to our class. Follow
\nthese steps:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Go here to the Foothill College Library website and select
\nthe Psychology Databases using this link.Links to an external site.<\/p>\n
You can try Academic Search Complete (EBSCO) or PsycArticles
\nor any other database that you think might lead you to what you are looking
\nfor. <\/p>\n
Use this video tutorial from Clovis Community College where
\nthey navigate the process similarly at their college.Links to an external site.<\/p>\n
You may be instructed at this point to login using your
\nFoothill login.<\/p>\n
Do your search. You can search for author, title, subject,
\netc. In the “Search Options” under “Limit <\/span>Your Results,” be sure to limit your
\nresults to “Full Text” and “Scholarly\/Peer Reviewed
\nJournals” by checking the appropriate boxes.<\/p>\nRed Arrow facing rightIf you would like library resources or
\nsupport, you can visit this page.Links to an external site.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Presentation<\/p>\n
Lastly, you will prepare a PowerPoint presentation on your
\npaper that you will upload to YouTube, set to “unlisted” and submit
\non Canvas.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you set your video to Private and I cannot access it, you
\nwill receive a zero for that assignment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
More details on the presentation will be covered under that
\nassignment.<\/p>\n
