Social Cognition and Depression Proposal and Research One paper is for proposal of the topic and other one is the research paper. I have attached the template for both of the papers.

1.The requirements for proposal paper is to use 3-5 articles.

2.The requirement for the research paper are:

The paper must be written in past tense.

References must be from professional psychology journals, not books, magazines, or websites.

First and second person pronouns are not allowed in the paper, except in the critical analysis you can use first person singular words. You may not use first person plural or second person pronouns anywhere in your document.

Do not generalize and avoid absolutes, all, never, etc.

Check your grammar, and get someone to help you check it.

APA formatting is half the grade be sure your paper looks like the template, the purpose of the template is to show you the correct formatting. Pay particular attention to the running heads, title, headings, and capitalization, read the instructions on the template carefully.

Remember you can only reference and cite the journal articles you actually read, do not reference or cite materials you did not personally read. There are two types of correct citations, contextual and parenthetical, examples of these are as follows:

Contextual citations occur in the text of what you are writing and are part of the sentence. For example, Smith and Jones (2012) described the process of measuring intelligence based on stable, comparative processes.

An alternative citation using a parenthetical citation is as follows. The process of measuring intelligence was based on stable comparative processes (Smith & Jones, 2012).

Refer to the author(s) by last name only in the text of the paper. This prevents gender bias. Do not use initials anywhere but in the references. To restate only refer to the authors by last names.

You should have a total of between three to five references, the paper you are critiquing, plus at least two others on the same topic to support your point of view. These must be professional journal articles from psychology related journals in the library databases, websites and magazines or other reference materials do not count as primary references. Do not include the references the author of the original paper used, because you did not read those. Citations and references are breadcrumbs to show where you got your information, not where the original author got theirs.

Citations should be used frequently, that is every time you take information from someone else.

Be sure your references are formatted in APA style as the instructions tell you on the template, read the template and follow instructions it will make things much easier for you.

Remember also, you are critiquing an article, not writing about the subject matter. The introduction tells why the research was done, what was important about, the literature review tells about what happened in the critiqued article and what other sources say about this topic, include what the original research did, how it was done and what it means, the critical analysis is your point of view, what could have been better, what could be addressed in future research, etc.

Paraphrase everything, direct quotes are not allowed on this assignment, you must put everything in your own words, you should not use quotation marks anywhere.

The abstract is written last, it is the summary of your paper.

Finally, grammatically, paragraphs should be relatively short and focused about a specific idea, each page should have a minimum of two to three paragraphs.

The paper will include these:

Cover page

Abstract page

Introduction (at least one full page) The title of your paper appears at the top of page three as shown in the template – note everything is double spaced including space between headings and titles, do not add extra spaces.

Literature Review (at least two pages)

Critical Analysis (at least one full page)

Reference page with one reference – references are a page to themselves. Running head: APA DOCUMENT TEMPLATE

Abstract
The abstract is written AFTER you have completed the entire paper, as it is a
summary of what you have written. Beginning on the following page, please note
that the words Introduction, Literature Review, and Critical Analysis are on the left
margins and are in bold print. This is the one time you ARE allowed to use font
effects (i.e., bolds), as in this instance you are using American Psychological
Association (APA) (2010) style to call attention to section titles within the paper, the
only section titles allowed for your paper are Introduction, Summary, and Critical
Analysis, and those section titles must be in your narrative. Follow the directions
under each section as to what information belongs in that location. Note that the
Abstract is the ONLY paragraph in the entire document that is NOT first-line
indented. Your Abstract paragraph is flush with the left margin of your page. Other
than the title page and the title on page 3, and major headings, nothing in the paper
is centered. Your paper must have three to five good APA psychology references
from the past 5 years. Magazines and internet content are not good references for
this paper. You must follow the template exactly.

Assignment Title (Same as on Page 1)
Introduction
The introduction to your paper is a minimum of a full page explaining the topic
of your research, how it is important, and what were the objectives of your research.
You should paraphrase and cite materials from your research that indicate the
importance of the topic. Remember, citations must be last names of authors and
dates, do not refer to authors by first names at all because this creates the possibility
of gender bias. There are two types of citations, parentheticals and
nonparentheticals. Parentheticals are in parentheses and are not a part of the
sentence, but refer to the sentence. These are very common in research
publications, they include the names of the author or authors, and the publication
year. An example of a parenthetical citations is as follows: A good deal of work has
illustrated some of the tenets of building effective academic programs (Borden,
Richardson, & Meyer, 2012). Non parenthetical citations, are a part of the sentence
and are not in parentheses, an example is: The work of Borden, Richardson, and
Meyer (2012) established some of the important tenets in building effective academic
programs. Note the key differences. Note that the parenthetical occurs before the
period at the end of the sentence, the nonparenthetical could occur anywhere within
the sentence as any noun would. Any material you use in your work that is not your
own original thought MUST be paraphrased, and cited. Do not use quotes, quotation
marks, first or second person pronouns anywhere in your paper. Put everything in

your own words. The introduction should be interesting, causing the reader to want
to read the rest of the paper.
Literature Review
The literature review is a summary of what is said about your topic in the
professional literature, it must be at least two to three full pages long (double
spaced, as is the rest of your paper). You must cite every article that is included in
your reference page at least once in your literature review, a minimum of three to
five quality sources are required, all of these should be psychology related journal
articles or government publications of good standing and the majority journal articles
(primary references). The point of the literature review, is to present the evidence
from research about the topic you chose. That is explain the findings in your own
words.
Your literature review should be written in focused paragraphs, it can help to
create a separate outline to show what you wish to discuss in each paragraph, then
write your paper.
Critical Analysis
The critical analysis is an explanation of your opinion of what you found in the
literature. This is your chance to explain what you believe based on the evidence you
found. The critical analysis should be at least one page long, and should be a well
written wrap-up to your paper in your own point of view.
This section does solicit your opinion, but your opinion should be stated in
third person with good grammar. You may include some of the information in a

minimum of one page length analysis, do not do question and answer formatting,
just discuss the topic in good, solid sentences.
•
Were you satisfied with the researchers’ findings?
•
Are there additional questions you would like to have seen them address
in their hypotheses?
•
Did the findings leave you more or less interested in this topic?
•
Would you like to see this train of research – perhaps with additional
questions (hypotheses) – addressed in future research efforts?
This is your rare opportunity to actually criticise what a research psychologist
has done, so make the most of it. If you disagree with how the research was
conducted, say so, and TELL ME WHY BASED ON THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD as
discussed in lecture and your textbook.
•
Did the researchers violate the principles of scientific methodology in any
way?
•
Did they fail to obtain proper consent?
•
Were scientific principles appropriately followed?
Such comments on your part show me that you have actually thought about
the article you have read.
Do not write in bullet statements or question and answer format, your writing
must be a narrative, and should flow in paragraphs from point to point.
If your assignment is a homework assignment or mini-paper, you will be
reporting on what you have read in preparation for your assignment and responding

to a series of questions based specifically on what you have read or reviewed. In this
event, you will NOT use the subheadings – Summary, Review, and Comments –
required when you do a critiqué. You will be writing what is termed a review of the
literature on the topic assigned, and you simply tell me what you learned from your
reading by answering the questions posed to you. ALWAYS cite your sources within
the context of your narrative AND on your References page. NoodleTools as
discussed in the lecture by Ms. Linda Baker will help you with these requirements.
Failure to cite appropriately constitutes plagiarism, and you do NOT want to fall in to
that trap. Remember that any citation in the context of your narrative MUST be
documented on your References page(s), and any citation on your References page(s)
MUST be supported by a citation within the context of your narrative. That means
there is a one-to-one correlation between within context citations and the citations
on your References page(s). The critical analysis should be at least a page long.
The last page of your assignment will be the References page. Go to the next
page to see how that is presented. ALL work in APA Style is double-spaced. Section
Headings are flush with the left margin and underlined. Your paper should be left
justified, i.e., I do NOT want to see the paper with straight, right-hand margins such
as you find in books, journals, or newspapers. Paragraphs are indented at the 0.5”
level. If you utilise this template as instructed, all requisite formatting has been done
for you, and your work will be in the correct APA style. Your assignments should not
exceed ten (10) pages, and that includes (1) the cover sheet, (2) the Abstract page,
(3) your narrative, 4 to 5 full pages. (4) your References page(s). Eight pages is the

average length of the entire paper for this assignment. In response to the oft-asked
question, “How long does my assignment have to be,” the answer is quite simple. “It
must be as long as it takes you to adequately address the requirements of the
assignment.”

Introduction
In the research proposal, you present some background information about
the research paper that you will be critiquing. Included in this proposal will be the
subject matter of the original research, the methods, and the results, as well as
discussing why the research is important. It is not enough to say it is important, you
must describe why. This paper will be minimally one full page in length with a half
page on the introduction, and a half page on the problem statement. The purpose of
the paper is to evaluate the quality of a previously published article.
Problem Statement
Here you should state the problem as you believe it exists, all of your
information should be supported by research. You must clearly state what the
problem is that you will be examining in your term paper. Include three specific
objectives that you hope to get out of the project, this will help you in developing
your paper. You should have at least 3 to 5 primary, researched based references.
The entire paper must be written in APA style. Use the same font throughout follow
the template for style, capitalization, and references. You should proof the paper
carefully for spelling and grammar as your paper should be well written.
You must cite your sources in your paper, by using either parenthetical or
contextual citations. Borden, Richardson, and Meyer (2012) is an example of a
contextual citation. A parenthetical citation would look like this (Borden, Richardson,

COMMENTS:
Please note that the citations listed above are examples of how to write a
reference. You should pay attention to the information included, capitalization, and
particularly the order of information.
If you cite an author in your text (and you must do this a lot), that is a way of
saying you read that article in preparation to write yours, if you did not read it, do not
cite it, You may say, as an example, Boulard (2006) cited previous work which said…
but you would not cite the authors Boulard did unless you actually read those
articles.
Do not include the name of the article, or the authors first name or initials in
your paper, to prevent gender bias, in scientific writings authors are referred to by
last name only, the only exception is famous people such as Sigmund Freud or
Abraham Lincoln, but authors are cited by last name only.
