PSY 205 Syracuse University Research Proposal Essay
I’m working on a Psychology writing question and need support to help me learn.
The purpose of this assignment is to get you to think like a
researcher by designing your own original study. The new study you propose should follow-up
on the research you previously read about for Major Assignment #1. One of the major goals of
this course is to teach you how to draw appropriate, logical, and objective conclusions about
behavior and mental processes based on empirical evidence. Doing so requires students to be
able to read, summarize, and critically evaluate psychological research. These represent
fundamental skills in the field of psychology. Even if you choose not to continue in the field of
psychology, these skills will allow you to be informed consumers of popular media and news
that purports to be based on psychological research. This assignment is intended to assess
learning objectives #1, #4, and #5 in your course syllabus.
