PSY 110 Week 2 Assignment 1 Description of
Research Methodology (2 Paper)
This Tutorial contains 2 Papers of this Assignment
In this assignment, you will write an essay about the research methods
and ethical implications of a social psychology study. You will get
information about the study from one of the entries in the SPARQ
"Solutions Catalog", which is a web site maintained by Stanford
University at https://sparq.stanford.edu/solutions?&&. SPARQ is an
acronym for "Social Psychological Answers to Real-world Questions."
Each entry in the Solutions Catalog names a problem, and then offers a
solution to that problem, based on a research study in social
psychology.
To keep this assignment short and manageable, your only sources for
this assignment should be from the SPARQ site and your course
materials, such as your textbook. There is no need for you to cite any of
the course materials. Therefore, no additional citations or references are
needed, beyond those from the SPARQ site.
In this exercise, you will choose one of the entries in the SPARC site,
and then write a two to three (2-3) page paper that meets the following
requirements.

Begin your paper with a short introductory statement that clearly
identifies the article from the SPARQ site that you are using, as well as
the corresponding research article. Model your statement after the
following example:
The article I selected from the SPARQ website is entitled “” (Wilson,
n.d.), which summarizes a research article (Wilson & Linville, 1982) on
the topic.
Please note that there are two APA “in-text citations” in this example.
The first citation “(Wilson, n.d.)” is an in-text citation for the SPARQ
article. The SPARQ articles are undated, which means that there is no
date of publication reported. The “n.d.” designation is an abbreviation
for “no date”.
The second citation “(Wilson & Linville, 1982)”, is an in-text citation to
the original research article. We are asking you to cite this paper for
practice in using APA, but are not requiring you to read the original
paper. Normally, you should cite only those articles that you actually
read and used, but we’re making an exception here for the purposes of
practice.
Briefly summarize the main details of your chosen social psychology
research study. Identify the main research method(s) used in the study
(e.g., case study, experiment, observation, etc.).
Explain whether or not you believe the research methodology that the
researchers used in the study was the most appropriate for the study.
Provide a rationale for your response.
Discuss whether or not you believe the research methodology used in the
study is the one (1) method that provides researchers with the most
information in general. Explain the main reasons why or why not.

Explain the major ethical implications of the selected study (e.g.,
informed consent, debriefing, etc.). Describe the main reasons why you
believe the study was or was not ethical. Provide a rationale for your
response.
The final section of your paper will be a reference section that contains a
corresponding reference for both of the in-text citations in your
introductory statement (see point #1, above). In APA-style citations, in-
text citations must match up with a reference in the reference section.
You can model your reference section after the following:

Describe at least two (2) ways that media violence can cause
desensitization in people. Justify your response.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with
one-inch margins on all sides. Check with your professor for any
additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s
name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover
page is not included in the required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment
are:
Develop an increased understanding of the dynamic between society and
individuals.
