Welcome to your first paper (out of five)!
Before I discuss Paper One, I want to jump ahead and mention your final paper, Paper Five. Your final paper in this course will be similar to an empirical manuscript that researchers submit to academic journals. It takes a lot of work, but we want to make the process as painless for you as possible. Rather than just turning in one final paper, you will turn in sections of the paper and get feedback on your work. You will then merge your first four papers together into one final fifth paper. Make sure to read over our feedback and incorporate changes we might suggest into your final paper!
While each paper focuses on a specific part of your manuscript, all papers have supporting materials to help you craft your paper. Each paper includes paper instructions (which are long and detailed but worth reading!), a grading rubric, a checklist, and an example paper from a prior semester. If you look over ALL FOUR items, your chances of getting a good grade will improve dramatically!
1). Paper I – Literature Review Study One Instructions (Reactance Theory Study, Spring 2024)
2). Paper I – Literature Review Grading Rubric
3). Paper I – Literature Review Checklist (If you can check “Yes” to all items in this checklist, your paper will be really good!)
4). Paper I Example Paper #1 – Counterfactual Thinking (This is from a student from a prior semester. It is a good example, but do not copy it as the topic differs. Includes helpful notes from your instructor)
5). Paper I Example Paper #2 – Facebook Apologies (This is also from a student from a prior semester)
6). Articles to Use for Paper I: For your first paper, you MUST cite to three of the following articles. You can cite four of them if you like, but you must find a fifth article to cite using PsycInfo. These are listed in no particular order, but make sure to read the abstracts to see how well they will fit in with your own paper. Some might be more relevant to your study than others.Autonomy supportive message (Altendorf).pdf

Additional Supporting Material for Paper I
1). APA Formatting – APA Example Paper (This is an “official” APA training paper you can find online. It provides another good example of how to format your paper)
2). To find the surveys and Researcher Instructions (which contains the hypothesis), go to the Assignment #4 – Study One Materials.
3). Paper V – Example Paper #1 – Counterfactual Thinking (This is well beyond Paper I, but if you want to see how your Paper I will eventually fit in with your final course paper, I encourage you to look at this Paper V example paper)
4). Paper V – Example Paper #2 – Facebook Apologies
5). Paper One – Overview PowerPoint Presentation (Similar to the one presented by Dr. Winter in the “Paper Clinics”)Example Paper referred to in the Paper One Overview Presentation (Word Document)
