There are 3 choices you can choose from: Attatching each option INSTRUCTIONS

1. Essay on a topic of your choice that pertains to Psychology.
2. A movie/book analysis.
3. A compare/contrast paper regarding popular press articles and peer-reviewed articles.

I think 1 or 3 is good. 2 is okay unless you have a movie you know or can watch to do this. (I thought about Glass. ) FORMAT

The Final Paper should consist of a minimum of three to five typed pages. Each paper option has a format that should be followed in order to ensure you have met all of the requirements.

Be sure that the paper submission adheres to the following formatting requirements:

• Use double-spacing.
• Use size 12 font Arial or Times New Roman. Do not try to increase your paper length with another font.
• Set margins to one-inch on all sides.
• Be sure to include your name/course title on the first page.
• Write in complete sentences, use good English grammar, and correct spelling.
• APA documentation style must be used when citing references in context and bibliography (if any).
• Your paper will be ran through Safe Assign to prevent plagiarism.Option 1: Final Paper Essay

  PSYC 2301

  Your essay should include the following format and items to be considered complete.  You may choose any topic from the textbook that you would like to learn more about.  Your topic should be narrow enough to be able to write the paper without being overwhelmed and broad enough to gather enough information for the paper requirements.

  Broad topic:  sleep

  Subtopic:  shift work

  Paper Topic:  Does shift work create health problems for individuals.

  Locate 3-5 academic articles related to your topic.  All articles should be a minimum of 3 pages in length.  Your articles should be current and no older than 2008.  Your articles should come from peer-reviewed journals that you can get from the CTC Library database.  Articles from newspapers, popular magazines, book reviews, or websites are not acceptable for this paper. All of your articles should not come from the same publication.

  Intro:  

  • Must contain an attention grabber for the reader or at least make the essay sound interesting, may begin with a quote about the particular topic
  • Ensure that the intro moves from the general to the specific in regards to the topic
  • Provides the reader with a “road map” of the essay in a logical order
  • At the end there should be what is called a thesis statement , arguably the most important component of the intro
  • The thesis statement states the aim of the paper and may give insight into the author’s examples and evidence

  Body:

  • Includes the evidence and support of the paper in addition to the author’s ideas
  • Paragraphs must include a topic sentence which relates the discussion back to the thesis statement

   

   

  • Logical ordering of ideas: 3 types of order
  • Chronological order—order of time, good for narratives
  • Spatial order-good for descriptions of locations; top to bottom, e.g.
  • Emphatic order-least important to most important; most common for college writing
  • Ensure that transition sentences are present to create a good flow to the essay
  • Include substantial examples and evidence to support your argument and remember to cite, cite, cite!
  • Make sure each example is relevant to your particular topic

  Conclusion:

  • This section should wrap all of your arguments and points
  • Should restate the main arguments in a simplified manner
  • Ensure that the reader is left with something to think about, particularly if it is an argumentative essay

HOMEWORK 2: ANOVA

PSY 294, SPRING 2016

DUE WEDNESDAY 11/16 BY 4:00 pm (CANVAS)

 

This second and final homework for 294 is on ANOVA. Hopefully, completing this homework will also help with preparations for the second test, which focuses on ANOVA

 

This homework is to be completed individually. DO NOT copy and paste from ANY resource (e.g., the article, online, lectures, book). You must use your own wording and thoughts to answer all questions..

Submit your responses in as a word document to Canvas before 4:00 pm on Wednesday, November 16th.

Do not type directly into this document – rather download the word document labeled “Answer Document,” type into that document, and submit that document.

You will lose 5 points automatically for not following submission instructions (e.g., not submitting answer document, not submitting word document).

PART 1: Compete the design chart below. (15 pts; each blank .5)

 

	What effects does it test for? In other words, what questions can be answered with this test?	# IVs?	# levels (each IV)?	Are the IV(s) between or within subjects?	# main effects?	# interaction effects
One-way Between Subjects ANOVA
One-way Repeated Measures ANOVA
2×2 Between Subjects Factorial ANOVA
2×2 Repeated Measures Factorial ANOVA
2×2 Mixed Model Factorial ANOVA

 

 

PART 2: Read Pitts, Wilson, and Hugenberg (2013) and answer questions about the research described in the article. I would strongly advise reading the entire article before attempting to answer questions below. Sometimes we can get tunnel vision when looking for the answer to specific questions – but my questions below are written with the expectation you have read and understood the research (not just skimmed for answers). The article is attached in the assignment portal for Homework #2 in Canvas. Make sure you use your own words in your answers to these questions – do not copy any of the authors’ sentences. (14 pts)

 

a) In a couple sentences, what did the authors investigate in this research? (1pts)

Experiment I

b) What was the primary hypothesis in Study 1? Be specific (i.e., state direction of hypothesized effects). (1pt )

c) Is this primary hypothesis a main effect or interaction hypothesis? (.5pt)

d) List the primary DV (hint: the answer is NOT mood/arousal. You can ignore the mood/arousal findings for the purposes of this HW because we have not discussed covariates) (.5pt)

e) List the IV(s) (.5pt)

f) What are the levels of the IV(s) (.5pt)

g) State whether the/each IV is within or between subjects. (.5pt)

h) Based on the information you have accrued about the variables which statistical test should the authors have run. Be specific and use appropriate notation, if applicable (e.g., “paired samples t-test comparing dog versus cat owners on extraversion” “2 x 3 x 3 mixed model factorial ANOVA). (1pt )

i) What was the major finding from Study 1? Did this finding support the authors’ hypothesis? (1pts)

Experiment II

j) What was the primary hypothesis in Study 2? Be specific (i.e., state direction of hypothesized effects). (1pt )

k) Is this primary hypothesis a main effect or interaction hypothesis? (.5pt)

l) List the primary DV (hint: the answer is NOT mood/arousal. You can ignore the mood/arousal findings for the purposes of this HW because we have not discussed covariates) (.5pt)

m) List the IV(s) (.5pt)

n) What are the levels of the IV(s) (.5pt)

o) State whether the/each IV is within or between subjects. (.5pt)

p) Based on the information you have accrued about the variables which statistical test should the authors have run. Be specific and use appropriate notation, if applicable (e.g., “paired samples t-test comparing dog versus cat owners on extraversion” “2 (target gender: female vs. male) x 3 (major: biology vs. psychology vs. business) mixed model factorial ANOVA). (1pt )

q) Use the graph and the stats provided in the paper to describe which effects did and did not achieve significance. (1pts)

r) Describe the significant effects in detail (i.e., if a main effect describe pattern; if an interaction use simple effects to describe pattern) (1pt )

s) What was the major finding from Study 2? Did this finding support the authors’ hypothesis? (1pt)

PART 3: Read the following research descriptions. Complete questions regarding the hypotheses and findings. (21 pts)

1. You are investigating the likelihood of post-traumatic stress disorder of participants who have been categorized as “lonely” or “not lonely,” and who have experienced either a mildly or severely traumatic life event. You predict that, on average, when people experience a severely traumatic event, they are at a higher risk for PTSD than when they experience a mildly traumatic event (Hypothesis 1). You also predict that, overall, people who are lonely are at a higher risk for post-traumatic stress disorder than people who are not lonely (Hypothesis 2). However, you hypothesize that lonely people are only at a greater risk for PTSD (compared to not lonely people) when the event is mildly traumatic, but not when it is severely traumatic (Hypothesis 3).

a) First draw your predictions (based on the above description) in the graph below. You can right click the graph and select “edit data.” Don’t worry about error bars. (2pts)

 

 

 

b) What is the DV? (.5pt)

c) What are your IVs and their levels? (.5pt)

d) Are the IVs between or within subjects? (.5pt)

e) Explain your design using ANOVA notation (e.g., a 6 (factor: level vs level vs level…) x 2 (factor: level vs level) repeated measures factorial ANOVA). (1pt)

f) Based on the description above do you predict each of the following effects? (1.5pts)

Main effect of Type of event YES NO

Main effect of Loneliness YES NO

Interaction of Type of event and Loneliness YES NO

 

You ran the study described above. Here is a graph of your actual (fictional) data.

 

 

g) Based on the graph, which of the following effects are present? (1.5pts)

Main effect of Type of event YES NO

Main effect of Loneliness YES NO

Interaction of Type of event and Loneliness YES NO

h) Does it appear that the hypotheses are supported? Please explain why or why not, separately for your three hypotheses. (3pts)

Hypothesis 1:

Hypothesis 2:

Hypothesis 3:

 

2. You are whether 5 hour energy affects cognitive task performance differentially for those who have versus have not already consumed caffeine. You ask participants as they enter the lab whether they consumed caffeine earlier in the day (yes or no). You then have participants complete a baseline measure of the cognitive task (i.e., anagram task). After, participants have completed the baseline measure, all consume a 5 hour energy before repeating the cognitive task 15 minutes later. You predict 5 hour energy will not have an overall effect on cognitive task performance (Hypothesis 1). You also predict that having consumed caffeine earlier in the day will have no overall effect on cognitive task performance (Hypothesis 2) However, you predict that for those participants who have not already consumed caffeine, the 5 hour energy will improve performance, but for those who have already consumed caffeine the 5 hour energy will hinder performance (Hypothesis 3).

 

a) First draw your predictions (based on the above description) in the graph below. You can right click the graph and select “edit data.” Don’t work about error bars. (2pts)

 

 

b) What is the DV? (.5pt)

c) What are your IVs and their levels? .5pt)

d) Are the IVs between or within subjects? (.5pt)

e) Explain your design using ANOVA notation (e.g., a 6 (factor: level vs level vs level…) x 2 (factor: level vs level) repeated measures factorial ANOVA). (1pts)

f) Based on the description above do you predict each of the following effects? (1.5pts)

Main effect of caffeine YES NO

Main effect of 5-hour energy YES NO

Interaction of caffeine and 5-hour energy YES NO

 

You ran the study described above. Here is a graph of your actual (fictional) data.

 

 

g) Based on the graph, which of the following effects are present? (1.5pts)

Main effect of caffeine YES NO

Main effect of 5-hour energy YES NO

Interaction of caffeine and 5-hour energy YES NO

h) Does it appear that the hypotheses are supported? Please explain why or why not, separately for your three hypotheses. (3pts)
