Part 1: Detailed Outline: The detailed outline should serve as the framework upon which you will build your final paper. By outlining the paper in advance, students will find the weaknesses or areas in their paper that need more development so that students may address these areas before submitting a final draft. The outline should be in standard outline format and should include the final project’s Critical Elements I–V: Introduction, Why the Event Occurred Theory I, Why the Event Occurred Theory II, Analysis—Basic Perceptual and Cognitive Processes, and Analysis—Dual Process Model.

The below example, taken from Purdue OWL, demonstrates the full sentence outline method you are to employ for this assignment:

 

I. Man-made pollution is the primary cause of global warming. a. Greenhouse gas emissions are widely identified by the scientific community to be harmful.

i. The burning of coal and fossil fuels is the primary releaser of hazardous greenhouse gases.

Within each main area, students should subdivide the topics using the above outline structure to lay out the main points in each major section. Include the references planned for each section and the potential thesis sentences you will be using. The more detail provided, the better your instructor can advise you on how to revise the work before you submit your final draft in Module Seven.

For Part 1: Detailed Outline, specifically the following critical elements must be addressed:

 

• Incorporates a sentence-style outline

• Addresses Section I of the Final Project: Research Paper – Introduction

• Addresses Section II of the Final Project: Research Paper – Why the Event Occurred: Theory I

• Addresses Section III of the Final Project: Research Paper – Why the Event Occurred: Theory II

• Addresses Section IV of the Final Project: Research Paper – Analysis—Basic Perceptual and Cognitive Processes

• Addresses Section V of the Final Project: Research Paper – Analysis—Dual Process Model

This resource will also be helpful to you as you formulate your outline: Four Main Components for Effective Outlines

Part 2: Annotated Bibliography: Annotated bibliographies provide you with the opportunity to cite, summarize, and compare and contrast resources you will use in a paper. You will cite each resource in APA style, write an approximately 150-word description that summarizes the central theme and scope of the resource, and compare and contrast it with other resources. For more information on annotated bibliographies, consult Shapiro Library section of the Academic Support module within your course.

 

 

 

Depending on the assignment, the annotated bibliography may serve a number of purposes, including but not limited to reviewing the literature on a particular subject, illustrating the quality of research you have done, providing examples of the types of resources available, describing other items on a topic that may be of interest to the reader, and/or exploring the subject for further research. Your purpose here is to prepare to complete a final research paper that addresses two major questions:

1. How does the literature in social cognition and perception help explain a real-world event? 2. Based on the literature, how could this event have happened differently had it occurred in a different culture?

 

To successfully complete the annotated bibliography, you should locate a minimum of three to five current research articles (from the past three years) that you might potentially include in your final paper. Choose works that provide a variety of perspectives on your topic. In your annotation, you should pay attention to the points listed below.

It is important to understand the difference between an annotated bibliography and a literature review particularly when you get to your capstone course (PSY- 444). Please review this document and keep it as a resource for future reference.

 

For Part 2: Annotated Bibliography, specifically the following critical elements must be addressed:

• Summarize the central theme of the resource.

• Include a paragraph in which you do the following: o Evaluate the author’s authority or background. o Explain how this resource will work in conjunction with other cited works to illuminate the research topic.

 

The detailed outline and annotated bibliography is due in Module Five.

Sample Annotated Bibliography of a Journal Article: The following example is what your final product for each resource should look like. This example (for the psychological research article A Bad Taste in the Mouth: Gustatory Disgust Influences Moral Judgment) employs APA style for the journal citation. The writer of this annotation follows the above points to create an annotation that summarizes the article’s main points and draws connections between that resource and other resources:

Eskine, K. J., Kacinik, N. A., & Prinz, J. J. (2011). A bad taste in the mouth: Gustatory disgust influences moral judgment. Psychological Science, 22(3), 295–299.

 

Annotation: In this article, Eskine and colleagues describe the results of an experiment that examined whether the taste in a person’s mouth influences the moral judgments that the person makes. The authors, who are researchers at the City University of New York, hypothesized that there would be a relationship between these two variables because prior research has shown that there are strong links between basic emotions and moral judgments. Indeed, the authors found that participants given a bitter drink made harsher moral judgments than those given a non-bitter drink. This article is extremely useful for my paper because it provides evidence that seemingly unimportant sensory information can influence moral judgments. Also, it nicely complements the work of Chapman

 

 

 

et al. (2009), who found that emotional disgust and morality utilize similar brain regions. One limitation, though, is that all of the participants in the study were college students. They may have responded differently to the moral situations than older or younger participants.

 

Abstract from author: Can sweet-tasting substances trigger kind, favorable judgments about other people? What about substances that are disgusting and bitter? Various studies have linked physical disgust to moral disgust, but despite the rich and sometimes striking findings these studies have yielded, no research has explored morality in conjunction with taste, which can vary greatly and may differentially affect cognition. The research reported here tested the effects of taste perception on moral judgments. After consuming a sweet beverage, a bitter beverage, or water, participants rated a variety of moral transgressions. Results showed that taste perception significantly affected moral judgments, such that physical disgust (induced via a bitter taste) elicited feelings of moral disgust. Further, this effect was more pronounced in participants with politically conservative views than in participants with politically liberal views. Taken together, these differential findings suggest that embodied gustatory experiences may affect moral processing more than previously thought.

Guidelines for Submission: Your detailed outline and annotated bibliography should follow these formatting guidelines: be 4–6 pages, double spaced, use 12- point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and have citations in APA.
