Sources for Writing Assignment One


1.) https://ir.uiowa.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1237&context=honors_theses
This is a paper is titled, Examining Risk Factors for Anxiety and Negative College Adjustment For First Year College Students. It is an academic source because it explains new findings from an experiment conducted by a University of Iowa graduate student. I plan on using this source to explain the structure used by psychologists debriefing an experiment and its findings. Such papers are consistently organized the same starting with the abstract, the going into its method, procedure, and then the results of the study.

 2.) https://www-sciencedirect-com.proxy.lib.uiowa.edu/science/article/pii/S0191886917300430
This paper is titled, Unhealthy perfectionism, negative beliefs about emotions, emotional suppression, and depression in students: A mediational analysis. It is also an academic source because it encloses its new experimental findings to the psychological field. I plan on also using this source to further show the similarities in structure throughout all experiment papers. I will also use this source to show the use of data and graphs in the writing to support the experimental findings.

 3.) http://psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2018-33326-006.html
This article is called, Unmet Social Support Needs Among College Students: Relations Between Social Support Discrepancy and Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms. This paper again is one about an experiment thus making it an academic source due to its content of new findings. This paper could also be used to demonstrate structure, but I will mainly use it to show the references written to further explain the theories presented. This again could also be used to demonstrate the use of graphics and quantitative data used by psychologists in their writings.

IMRad Intro and Methods

Introduction In social psychology has established effective compliance techniques such as the foot-in-the-door phenomenon. This strategy states simply that, “ agreeing to a small request increases the likelihood of agreeing to a second, larger request”(McLeod, pp4, 2014). The original experiment on the foot-in-the-door phenomenon was done by Freedman and Fraser in 1966. In the original study, the prediction was that if a small request was asked first and the person agrees to the smaller request, the person is more likely to agree to a larger request after. This prediction was supported in their data which showed that, “Over 50% of the subjects in the Performance condition agreed to the larger request, while less than 25% of the One-Contact condition agreed to it. Thus it appears that obtaining compliance with a small request does tend to increase subsequent compliance” (Freedman and Fraser, 198, 1966).  This is important because this significant data supports that the foot-in...
