Journal assignment Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is for you to start exploring literature that will be helpful to you as you craft your experiment Expectations: Answers the questions below. As you answer, remember to write your own sentence(s). Be sure not to copy and paste, inappropriately paraphrase or use quotes. This must be in your own words. 1. 2. 3. 4. List the name of the phenomenon that you were assigned In 1-3 sentences, describe the phenomenon. Offer examples where appropriate. What is the IV in your phenomenon? Explain. What is the DV in your phenomenon? Explain. Now: Search for an empirical, peer-reviewed journal article that tests this phenomenon (the relationship between the IV and DV). For help, click here. ● Each member of your group must have a distinct article. For that reason, you should enter the title of your article here once you have found it and be sure it isn’t the same as any article a member of your group is using. The first person in a group to enter an article title is the person who gets to use that article. ● Once you have found an article of this type, find the full text (either through the library or search for the name of the article in google scholar - sometimes a full text link pops up on the right of the page). Read the article and answer finish the assignment below. 5. Provide a copy of the abstract (copy and paste the abstract into your response document, please). 6. What is the research question, hypothesis or purpose of the article (should be listed near the end of the introduction)? 7. What type of study was this (experimental or associative). Explain/justify your answer. 8. Describe in detail how the researchers measured or manipulated the independent variable (method section). 9. Describe in detail how the researchers measured the dependent variable (method section). 10. Describe the main result of the study (if you have trouble in the results section, check out the abstract for help and/or the discussion section). Now, consider that you will be asked to test the same phenomenon in a 3-minute experiment in class. 11. How might you manipulate the independent variable and measure the DV in this time frame? This should be thoughtful but written in no more than 4 sentences. 12. Now, consider how you might use this reference in the introduction of your paper. You need to use the findings of the study, not something that was just mentioned in the paper. Write 1-2 sentences that you might include in your paper. Be sure to include an APA style in-text citation with your paraphrase (check the back of your text book for info on in-text citations). 13. Create an APA style reference page for your single reference.

anonymous ones.
What is the IV in your phenomenon? Explain.
The independent variable in this case is an identifiable victim because it is a variable that is
changed to test its effects on a dependent variable
What is the DV in your phenomenon? Explain.
The dependent variable is donor feelings or donor compassion towards identifiable victims since
it is the variable that is tested in the phenomenon
Each member of your group must have a distinct article. For that reason, you should enter
the title of your article here once you have found...
