Topic Proposal

My topic is perception

Write at least two
paragraphs (a) summarizing the problem area (be specific in defining the problem), (b) describing what
you already know about the topic, and c) why you have chosen this topic for
your literature review. The topic should apply psychological research to an
individual, organizational, or social problem. Include a working title and the
objective of the paper.

Reference Page

Search for literature on
your selected topic and create a Reference Page containing at least 10
scholarly references. A good way to begin searching for relevant literature is
to search for key words related to your topic in a research database. Narrow
your search to articles in peer-reviewed journals. Another good idea is to
check the list of References at the end of an article to find other relevant
work. If you have any questions about this part, please feel free to set up an
appointment with your instructor or ask the librarian. You will create a
reference page for your literature review paper in an appropriate APA style.
Your resources must come from scholarly, peer-reviewed journals or books. No
Internet resources may be used here.
