What is a News Reflection Paper?

You should find a current news article (published since January 2018) and analyze how the news event is related to specific concepts in psychology (covered in your textbook). In the paper, write three double-spaced pages in which you do the following:

1) Specify the source information (title, author, newspaper or news magazine, date of publication) for your news article and summarize the content of the article;

2) Specify at least two fields of psychology that your article content falls into and explain why it relates to these fields. In your explanation, be sure to describe the nature of your two selected fields in general and use specific content from the new article.

3) Explain in detail how your news event connects to at least THREE distinct course concepts, theories, or research findings (you must use your textbook for these connections). Be sure that you make your connections to specific—rather than more general—course concepts. For example, conditioning is a general concept, operant conditioning is more specific, and negative reinforcement is even more specific. The more specific you make your course concept connections, the better. Also be sure to provide the page number from the text for the course concepts you use in your paper.

4) Explain why the topic you selected is interesting to you and important in general.


The news articule must be from a known news source such as "The New York times" or "The Washington post"

In a March 2018 article titled, force overtime? Or go for the win and published in the
Sunday Review column of the New York Times, Jesse Walker and his team of researchers
examined the common fallacy that occurs when people are faced with important decision-making
situations that require them to take the most difficulty and path to success. Walker, Risen,
Gilovich, and Thaler (2018) conducted a research experiment that analyzed the decision process
used by NFL teams when faced with “a choice in the final minutes between kicking an extra
point to tie the game or going for a 2point conversion to win over a 10-year period.”According to
the outcome of the unpublished study, teams that fail to take the risk of 2-point conversion in the
final minutes of the game only win 40-percent of the time, which is lower than the 50percent
result obtained the teams that chose this path. A similar result when the experiment was
conducted on the teams in the National Basketball Association league over a five-year period. In
this instance, the study reported that “The teams that attempted the 3-point shot won the game
more often (17.3 percent) than those that attempted the 2-point shot (14.5 percent)” (Walker et
al., 2018).
