Report on Online Article


Articles about psychology-related experiments are frequently posted on the Internet. Below is a list of URLs of articles grouped by topic on which you can write these reports. Choose one URL/article from the list to write your report. You can ONLY choose articles from this list. This list is changed every semester. You will receive one credit for each completed report. Reports on articles off this list will not receive credit. Try to choose an article that looks interesting to you.

Report

Each report should include the following:

  1. The exact citation for the article, including its title, author(s) if provided, URL (direct link to the article), the date of the article, and the category under which it falls in the chart above (e.g. Anxiety).
  2. An explanation of what the research was trying to find out.
  3. A description of the methods that were used in the research.
  4. A summary of the results.
  5. Your evaluation of the paper, including what you learned from it.
  6. A printout of the article.

Your reports should be two to three pages long, typewritten or word-processed, and double-spaced. This report should be turned in to your Psychology 101 instructor. You should keep a copy for your records. You can track your research credits at any time by logging into the Sona System and clicking on the MY SCHEDULE/CREDITS Tab. Don’t worry if you don’t see the credit right away; please give your instructor some time to read your paper.
