For this paper, start your essay broadly and then narrow your focus (think about the hourglass example provided in the lecture). My suggestion is to give a brief overview of your paper topic in your opening paragraph, hinting at the research variables you plan to look at for study one. Your two body paragraphs will review prior research. Make sure to draw connections between these paragraphs, using smooth transitions. Your final paragraph should use the research you just summarized to support your research hypothesis. And yes, that means you MUST include your study predictions(which we provided in the researcher instructions under Paper II materials and the debriefing statement. Use them!). Please note that your paper should have only one introduction paragraph, two body paragraphs, and one conclusion paragraph, to four sections maximum. APA Formatting Purpose The second purpose of Paper I: Study One Literature Review is to teach you proper American Psychological Association (APA) formatting. I will tell you how to format your paper using the APA style in the instructions below. There are a lot of particular requirements in APA papers, so pay attention to the instructions below and Chapter 14 in your textbook! Writing Purpose 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 extensive feedback on your first few papers. Thus readers may be familiar with APA style but not your specific topic. Your job is to educate them on the topic and make sure they understand how your study design advances the field of psychology. Note: The overlap limit for this paper is 30% (though this excludes any overlap your paper might have concerning citations, references, and the hypotheses). Make sure your paper falls under 30% (or 35% if including predictions). Attached below is the article that is supposed to be used for this paper
