1. you need to find a suitable social psychological theory that can provide insights into your topic. Once you have decided on your theoretical approach, it is often/usually a good idea to go beyond the text and find the original author’s description of a theory because that original is often richer and more detailed. It is also possible to combine more than one theoretical approach, particularly if the ideas are simple.
2. if you use a personal example, you should be able to analyze it fairly objectively. Avoid topics that are especially sensitive for you because objectivity will be more difficult in such cases.
3. if you use a real-world example, it should be a topic you have a fair amount of detailed knowledge about, or at least can gather than information through research.
4.in general it is better to cover a smaller amount of material in depth than a large amount of material superficially, particularly in a short paper . You want to be able to demonstrate your ability to use and apply theory and concepts with insight, depth and originality.
Please use the headings below:
Introduction: (approx: ½ – 1 page)
Outline the topic and the area of social psychological theory or research, that will be applied to this topic. Let the reader know what to expect in terms of content and structure.
Case Description: (approx: 1 – 2 pages)
The example will be outlined in sufficient detail to make the theoretical application possible
Theoretical Analysis: (approx: 2 – 3 pages)
The theoretical material is applied to the case. Systematically demonstrate how each element of the theory applies to your case. Discuss insights into the case provided by theory, as well as insights into the theory provided by the case. Strengths and limitations of the theory in explaining your example should also be pointed out.
[Note: The Case Description and Theoretical Analysis can be combined in one section if that makes more sense for your particular material. Use a heading such as Case & Theoretical Analysis].
Conclusion ( approx: ½ – 1 page); Round off the paper by (i) summarizing and pulling it all together and/or (ii) pointing out broader implications of the theory or of your case.
References in APA format
Advice:
1) If you have too much to say, either be more succinct without sacrificing clarity, or cut down on the scope of material.
2) The most important section is the Theoretical Analysis. This is where you can demonstrate your ability to think conceptually. Show that you understand the implications of your theoretical perspective when it is applied to real life. We are looking for insights and depth of thought. It is the quality of your analysis that will get you the higher grades.
3) Your ability to communicate with logic and clarity is very important. Make sure the sections flow logically and that you have fully explained yourself. Ensure that the introduction informs the reader about the content and structure of the paper.
4) Part of what makes the paper convincing academically is sufficient citations within the text of the paper. If you are mentioning someone else’s information, ideas, or theories do not forget to acknowledge this by using APA format for citations. Plagiarism is taken very seriously .
