Essay Question: Does ostracism lead to increased aggression?
Important information and things to include in your essay
Clearly state your position (i.e., whether you agree or disagree with the question) and present a critical discussion of the research which supports your position.
This critical discussion should include explanations for why ostracism does or does not lead to increased aggression.
You have been provided with eight starter references to help you with your essay. You can choose to use as many or as few of the starter references as you would like. However, it is strongly recommended that you read the starter references first, before doing your own research. They will give you a good idea of the type of literature and research which is appropriate and relevant for your essay.
You will find that some of the starter references have multiple studies within the one article. You do not need to discuss each study from a single article in depth, but instead you can pick one or two studies from the article which help illustrate your point.
Each of your arguments should be supported by at least one primary source from a peer-reviewed journal article. It is not enough to simply cite a study that supports your position. You should provide enough detail about the study so that the reader can understand how the study supports the argument you are making. This might include a brief summary of the method, findings, conclusion, strengths, and/or limitations/caveats.
Incorporate at least one relevant theory into your essay, and highlight whether the research you present is consistent or inconsistent with that theory.
