Please submit your source to me by the due date so I can check it before you work hard on the wrong thing!<\/p>\n
See directions in the syllabus. Please add a link to your source, or copy & paste the source into a document to attach. The primary source must include methods, results, and discussion sections in the body of the article you find from ProQuest. It should be a topic in psychology from a peer reviewed source.<\/p>\n
Check out the video in the research module to help you.<\/p>\n
Please create a title page. <\/p>\n
Please write an abstract at the top of a page by itself. The following paper will contain a summary about an article on…. ( this and everything else should be double spaced.} <\/p>\n
Please write a summary of the article in your own words. Write about one page- a paragraph about what the study was trying to find, one about the method, and one about the results. Please do not plagiarize- use your own words- no quotes. Write as though you are explaining the article to a friend. <\/p>\n
Only cite your article- don’t cite any of their sources. You can actually just skip over their background literature review after the abstract and go to the purpose, a paragraph or so above the Method section. <\/p>\n
Everything including the abstract and Reference is double spaced in APA format. <\/p>\n
Please write a reference page(will have only one source- the article you found!) in APA format!<\/p>\n
To get to ProQuest:<\/p>\n
1. Log into the myracc portal
\n2. Click ProQuest Central, under library resources.
\n3. Click on Advanced Search
\n4. Type in a term related to the subject you want to use.
\n5.Type method, results, and discussion in each of the next three search lines ( you might need to add a row)
\n6. Type psychology into the next row and across from that, use the pulldown to select publication title.
\n7. Click the boxes for full text and peer reviewed.
\n8. Then titles should be listed. Start to click on those to choose two that are related to each other’s subject matter so that you can do your paper.
\n Look through the articles until you find one that has method, results, and discussion sections in they body of the article. Find one that interests you and that you can understand, at least somewhat. Copy the URL to send to me, along with your title page, summary, and reference so I can approve it before you start writing.<\/p>\n

Research Summary
\nResearch Review
\nChoose a primary source article from peer reviewed journals via ProQuest. It must be primary source article from a peer reviewed psychology journal found in ProQuest. The article must have methods, results, and discussion sections as subheadings in them, which is an identifying characteristic of a primary source. Read and summarize the article in 1-2 pages. Create a title page and reference page. APA style is required. Please send a link to the article several blank lines after the reference. All of this should be completed in one document and attached to the Canvas assignment. Please put the subject of your research in your submission heading. See directions and rubric at the end of the syllabus.
\nIf you are concerned that you aren\u2019t doing this correctly, you may send me as many drafts as you want via the assignment as long as they are at least a week before it is due. This is so I don\u2019t get overwhelmed with so many at once to allow you to meet your deadline. Submit the final copy as an attachment here
\nTopic must relate to psychology and come from a psychology journal. You MUST completely re-word all ideas from the article. Do not use a sentence and just change several words. Do not use information, even for introductions and conclusions, from other sources. Do not copy and paste anything unless you quote and cite it correctly in APA format.
\nGrading- 100 points total
\n Zero points awarded if:
\nA. anything is copied from either the article, the internet, or another paper
\nB. source is not primary research(including method, results, and discussion sections in body of the article)
\nC. article is not from psychology journal
\nSee attached information
\nA journal is professional, formal publication that contains different research studies on different topics, from different researchers. The articles in each journal reflect the perspective of the journal. There are journals for social psychology, abnormal psychology, psychiatry, child development, personality, etc.
\nSuggestions for writing good psychology research.
\nA. In a formal paper, there is no first person. No \u201cI\u201d \u201cyou\u201d \u201cwe\u201d etc.
\nB. In a formal paper, there is no opinion. You are simply stating what is there.
\nC. Don\u2019t write things you don\u2019t understand. Be clear and simple.
\nD. Completely re-word ideas and cite or quote exactly and cite. Copying or changing just word or two is plagiarism, which is not only cheating and unethical, it is illegal and can get you removed from RACC or any other college.
\nSimple things to improve research writing.
\n1. Do not use the study titles, use the author\u2019s last name and year in parentheses to start sentences, which also serves as a citation.
\nExample: Romney (2012) state that research in politics has done little to improve the truthiness involved in campaign commercials.
\nDo not say: The authors state\u2026.. or (title of the study) states\u2026..
\n2. Use sources that are from the same journal types as the class for which you are writing the paper. Social psych journals for social psychology; developmental journals for development; abnormal psychology journals for abnormal psych, etc. Your teacher may have a list of journals that are acceptable.
\n3. Research in the social sciences never proves anything, so don\u2019t use that word. You can say that research supports the hypothesis, or suggests\u2026.(whatever it suggests), but never proves in social sciences.
\n4. Your textbook is not a reference, but is often a good example of how references should be used and cited.
\n5. Use PurdueOwl to check correct citation information. http:\/\/owl.english.purdue.edu\/owl\/resource\/560\/01\/ Links to an external site.<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/p>\n
In the following paper, there will be some directions written as an example of what a research paper will like. What is written here would be the abstract of the paper, which is a brief summary of what the reader is going to read next (an abstract is not an introduction). It is likely there was one of these in the journal article chosen to summarize in the research paper. Double space everything in APA format and align the writing left.<\/p>\n
How to Write Research after Reading the Summary<\/p>\n
Brant, (20200 stated that students should start their research papers with a title page, which is separate from the abstract. Next, there is an abstract, which tells the reader what they are about to read. The third page is the summary of the journal article. It should start with a 3-4 sentence paragraph about the purpose of the research. The students should never write the study title in their paper, but use the author\u2019s last names and year, like in the examples of this paper.<\/p>\n
Torchia-Thompson, (2013) states that students should write a paragraph about how many people were in the study and how the research was conducted. Then students should write what the research found. Students should write everything in their own words, but still cite, using author\u2019s last names (year), just like at the beginning of these paragraphs. If students decide to use any of the words, even just two or three, then they must quote and cite them properly. \u201cStudents should check this with PurdueOwl.edu, the writing center, or their professor to make sure they are not accidentally plagiarizing, which results in a zero.\u201d(Torchia-Thompson, L., and Bean-Ritter, C., 2013, 478) <\/p>\n
Break the work into paragraphs by idea and cite at least once in each paragraph. Don\u2019t use first person in a formal paper. Make sure to spell check and read it out loud to check grammar and make sure what you have written makes sense. On the last page, add the reference, which is the only article used for the paper. It must be in APA format, so make sure to look up how to do that correctly.<\/p>\n
