Instruction
Instructions: Produce a work demonstrating critical thinking skills and thoughtful scholarly examination of some problem in psychology. Find something in psychology that you think is incorrect. This may be a theory, a research finding, or a set of research findings (keep in mind a wise adage, with a twist: you can't argue with data, but you can argue how to interpret the data). Write a paper explaining this topic and what the problems are with it. Do not produce a simple opinion piece. Provide citations to back up your reasoning. Support your argument with evidence and clear reasoning. You must use APA formatting rules as appropriate.
There is no length requirement: In science we write until we have completed making the point; page limits are arbitrary and meaningless.
Must Include: Start with a statement in your opening paragraph that clearly describes the area of interest and the problem you have identified. Descriptive background of the area of interest before detailing the problem and evidence. In addition to supporting your criticisms, provide solutions, whether it be a different theory, or a revision to research methodology or statistical analysis, or proposals for new experiments to be done.
