LACC Psychological Paper

The popular source you choose has to include a psychological claim, and discuss it in some detail. You’ll have the most fun with a popular source that makes a causal claim, because you can then analyze whether the causal claim is warranted by actual experimental research.

This assignment addresses the most fundamental goal of this class—becoming a better consumer of information. Your assignment is to find popular press coverage by using a psychology research article.

You will need to find an article that mentions an author, institution, journal, etc., so that you can find the original article on which the popular coverage is based.
