Paper III is intended to help you take your original Source Credibility (SC) study one step
further by letting you predict how a second independent variable of your lab’s choosing
impacts participants. In this replication with extension Study Two, you have a greater role in
a). choosing which articles to include in your follow-up literature review as well as b).
identifying new hypotheses that take into account your new independent variable. The bulk of
your Paper III points will come from a new “literature review”, with this second literature
review coming between the discussion from study one (i.e. the end of Paper II) and the
methods for study two (i.e. the beginning of Paper IV). That is, your Paper III will include your
original literature review from study one (revised based on feedback from Paper I), your study
one methods, results, and discussion (revised based on feedback from Paper II), a new
literature review that adds in new information, and will conclude with your references from
both literature reviews.
In other words, Paper III includes:
1). Your original title page (though feel free to change the title)
2). Your revised study one literature review (ending in the study one hypotheses).
3). Your revised study one methods section (with demographics tables).
4). Your revised study one results section (with tables).
5). Your revised study one discussion section.
6). Your new study two literature review (ending in the study two hypotheses).
7). References for all citations in the paper (minimum 10 references required)
8). Your appendices from study one (optional, and only if applicable)
The largest number of Paper III points come from your study two literature review, which will
essentially pick up after study one. Think of it as a “sequel” of sorts. It builds on and extends
study one’s SC focus, using only two levels of the Study One author condition independent
variable (either Student Author vs. Professor Author, Student Author vs. Chat GTP Author, or
Professor Author vs. Chat GTP Author) and similar dependent variables (e.g. Ratings of
whether the essay / author were credible, persuasive, honest, unethical, etc.). However, study
two will alter or extend your independent and dependent variables into a new study design. The
good news here is that you can refer to study one as you write your study two literature review.
In fact, I encourage that! You can also refer back to your study one literature review sources
and recite them.
The bulk of this study two literature review concerns a second independent variable that you
and your lab will manipulate during the second part of the semester. You will need to include
five new references for this new independent variable, hopefully finding sources that build a
bridge between studies one and two. In other words, in Paper III you will answer the following
question: “Given our findings in study one, how will the presence of a second independent
variable impact participant decisions?”
