Current research: explain what, if any, research is currently being done on this topic and analyze its validity and potential implications
Future areas of study: present at least two ideas for further research into the topic and discuss how these studies would contribute to the principles of social psychology
References list in APA format. A majority of your sources should be from the last 20 years.
Formatting & Sources
Please write your research paper in APA format. You may refer to the course material for supporting evidence, but you must also use seven sources and cite them using APA format. Please include at least five primary or secondary sources from a scholarly peer-reviewed journal.
Primary sources include peer-reviewed journal articles describing original research and experimentation. They can also be first-hand accounts such as interviews, speeches, statements, and press releases. Secondary sources include reviews or compilations of studies.
Both types of sources can be found in scholarly journals, such as the Journal of Psychology and Brain Studies. You may use sources like JSTOR, Google Scholar, and the American Psychological Association to find articles from these journals. Valid sources may also come from reputable websites with .gov, .edu, or .org in the domain. (Wikipedia is not a reputable source, though the sources listed in Wikipedia articles may be acceptable.)
If you use any Study.com lessons as sources, please also cite them in APA format (including the lesson title and instructor’s name).
