4 Peer-reviewed articles

For the research paper, you will select a phenomenon (e.g., a social issue or problem), analyze it using a
psychological theory or concept, and offer recommendations or insights based on your analysis. The
outline of the paper is as follows:
Section I: Phenomenon
• Describe the phenomenon (i.e., the subject of your analysis).
• Base your description on sources, including peer-reviewed journal articles.
Section II: Analytical Lens
• Select a suitable theory or concept for analyzing (breaking down) the phenomenon to provide a
better understanding of it.
• Find a representative research article to base your descriptions on.
Section III: Analysis
• Theories and concepts are comprised of several components—you will analyze the phenomenon
in terms of each component. (If providing sufficient detail, likely each component will be
addressed in a separate paragraph.)
• For each paragraph, provide a topic sentence clearly identifying its subject and focus and develop
the content by including specific supporting details to back up your claims.
Section IV: Recommendations
• Provide a brief summary of the first three sections of the paper—no more than a few sentences.
• Provide final recommendations for addressing problems and/or new insights for understanding
the phenomenon.
• It will be most useful/effective if you provide recommendations/insights in a context. If the
phenomenon you select does not have a specific context, choose one to focus on.
• Develop the content of this section sufficiently so that you demonstrate your ability to synthesize
the information from the preceding sections of the paper.
For example, if you were to write about the phenomenon of LGBTQ identity development, you could use
the racial/cultural identity development model to analyze a person’s development of a gay identity, and
then make recommendations for how a university or college could best support LGBTQ individuals:
