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.

Topic proposal

My research topic is exploring the effectiveness of persuasion techniques commonly found in social psychology such as "foot-in-the door" and"door-in-the-face" phenomenons. These are important because they are commonly taught compliance techniques and have been heavily studied in my field of psychology. I have a few research questions I can dive into with these compliance strategies. One is, do these strategies and which strategies work better than no strategy at all? Do certain strategies work better on specific genders? Finally, which strategy is most effective of the ones used in the experiment? I plan on conducting an experiment maybe even more than one experiment to test my hypothesis. My hypothesis is that the foot-in-the-door technique works better than chance, and better than the "door-in-the-face" phenomenon. The independent variable is the strategy used and the dependent variable is compliance. One group will be the control group with no strat...
