Misconception Presentation Poster & Research Paper

Step 1: Choose Your Topic & Find Sources

1️ Pick Your Misconception

• Must be psychology-related and involve human subjects.
• Want a different myth?  Get my approval first.
• If more than 2 students choose the same myth → the 3rd person must pick a new one.

2️Find Your First 3 Articles

• Locate at least 3 scholarly, peer-reviewed articles (2020–present).
• These count toward the 5 total you’ll need for your research paper.
• Older or “classic” articles (seminal sources) may be used in intro/conclusion but don’t count toward the 5 required.
• Articles must have:
  • Abstract
  • Introduction
  • Method
  • Results
  • Conclusion
  • Full Reference List
• Use SAC Library databases (Academic Search Complete, PsycNET, etc.) or Google Scholar.

3️Format in APA

• All references must be APA style.
• Help is available:
  • APA module in this course
  • Ask a Librarian (library homepage)
