Your final paper will be a 5-page (double-spaced) paper regarding the analysis of a specific
social psychological concept discussed throughout the semester. Students will be required to
locate three outside sources (i.e., empirical or literature peer-reviewed psychology articles) and
describe the research findings/methods/conclusions for each (approximately one page per
article) and then conclude with a discussion of the implications of these articles (e.g., how they
relate, what they tell us about a certain social influence).
More details about this assignment and a detailed grading rubric will be posted on Blackboard.
The Research Paper is worth 20% of your final grade.
