Choose one of the videos (or pairs of videos) listed below but please don’t choose a video you’ve already written about. You will then add two related sources that relate to the video and cite all sources (including the video) in APA style. Organize you paper according to the five steps below, following the directions for each step. Number each step in your paper (as indicated below). This paper, which should be about 3 to 5 pages, meets the requirement for Introduction to Psychology students to fulfill student learning outcomes listed in the course syllabus. Each step will be worth ten points. Again, number each step you are writing about.

1. Summarize the video you select, including the main points and conclusion(s) of the video. This section can be about half a page.

2. Summarize key points of two additional research sources, explaining how these two sources add to what you learned in the video. While you may use print sources, newspapers, or Internet sources through Google, at least consider using one of the sources from the LATTC database. You can access the LATTC library database if you go to Links to Student Services and then clink on the library database link at the bottom of the page. Look through databases or Google sources that relate to psychology or where you can find articles about your specific topic. You may use any database or article of your own choosing that relates to the video. Cite your sources in APA style. Take some time to review the module Practice Tests to Cite Sources Correctly and Avoid Plagiarism in Week One. This will take you to the Indiana University website of plagiarism. Click on Learn through Tutorials for practice in citing sources correctly.

To get to the “Upload Submission” button you’ll need to scroll down toward the bottom of the page. Please note that the Turnitin.com feature checks all paper for plagiarism. If you get a rating of 15 or more, you may need to resubmit your paper. But if the score is high because you have properly cited and attributed quotations you have used, don’t worry about that. Click on “Submission details.”

3. What is the significance of this research for society? In addition, explore how your personal opinon about the topic, popular press articles about the topic (e.g. from the LA Times, Newsweek, etc.) and scientific findings about the topic may differ in authority, emphasis, and/or conclusions.

4. Discuss the process by which you evaluated two databases and two other sources you looked at (even if you decided not to use the source). What sources did you consider from the LATTC databases and through Google? How did you decide that the source(s) you decided to use are credible? What were the credentials of the author? What was the authority of the publication the source was printed in? Were scholarly references included? Were the source(s) peer-reviewed?

5. A. Find a graph from a source, copy it, and cite the source of the graph (beneath the graph or table). Then, in your own words, explain what the graph or table means. How is it important to the central idea(s) of the source?

B. Cite two statistical findings from a source and explain why those statistics are important to backing up the main idea(s) of the source.

Sample Solution

During this assessment, stakeholders hypothesized that the difference in authorized formal referrals for felony referrals might be driven by differences in the handling of felony drug cases between Baltimore and the rest of the state. While this may not fully account for the difference for felony referrals overall, data confirm that 16% of felony drug referrals in the rest of Maryland were resolved or informaled at intake, while only 5% of felony drug referrals in Baltimore City were diverted. It is important to note that Maryland state law requires that SAO must authorize any informal handling of felony cases at DJS intake, so it is possible that this difference is a result of differences in SAO decisionmaking rather than decisions made by DJS intake officers regarding informal handling of this case type.

As illustrated above in Figure 2, the largest difference in percentage of formaled intake referrals between Baltimore City and the rest of Maryland was for misdemeanor referrals. In the rest of Maryland, only 35% of misdemeanor referrals at DJS Intake were authorized for a formal petition. In Baltimore City, however, that percentage was significantly higher, with 52% of intake cases formaled.

As depicted in Figure 3 below, the percent of formaled misdemeanor referrals in Baltimore City is consistently higher across all misdemeanor categories when compared to the rest of Maryland. The largest difference is for unspecified misdemeanors and drug misdemeanors. It is difficult to draw conclusions from the comparison for unspecified misdemeanor cases, as there was a very small num
