Use the CSU Online Library to research an article on social psychology. Then write a research paper answering the following questions concerning the article you selected.  Explain why you picked the article you selected for this assignment. Include a description of how the article’s focus captured your interest, and why.  Describe the previous research related to your article. You can find such information included at the beginning of your article. Usually, this information will be under the “Introduction” section or be in the paragraphs before the “Method” section. Here you need to summarize information, such as introductory descriptions of previous related research and the author’s or authors’ ideas about why the article’s study needs to be conducted (this may be stated in the article or may be gleaned from author’s(s’) comments about limitations of previous research). Do not discuss the article’s study design just yet.  Describe the participants of the research article you read. In your description, include demographic information (age, gender, race, ethnicity, employment status, college status, or geographic location). You should also include whether the participants were compensated for their participation or not. You must address each of these components to the extent that they are included in your article.  Explain the research methodology utilized in the article. You will include whether the article’s study utilized surveys or inventories, individual or group interviews, case studies, laboratory controlled, or naturalistic observations.
