Your second individual paper is to review a paper written by a prior Research Methods and Design student. You will have to spot APA formatting mistakes, find the hypotheses, IVs, and DVs, and ultimately write an abstract for the research article. Sounds simple, right? Its actually tougher than it looks. For the abstract, you will have to 1). Describe the purpose of the study; 2). Describe the variables (IVs and DVs); 3). Describe the methods 4). Describe the results; and 5). Describe the implications of the study. The tough part is doing this in 150 to 200 words. An example assignment, grading checklist, and instructions for this assignment are available on CANVAS.

Running head: CHOOSING A SUSPECT 1 Thats Him! Choosing a Suspect From A Lineup A Student Florida International University Commented [RW1]: Make sure your title age is in correct APA format (headers, page numbers, title (you can create your own or copy the title of the original paper), YOUR NAME, and YOUR university affiliation CHOOSING A SUSPECT 2 Part One (Student example a nswers are in red ) 1. What are the hypoth eses for study one? There were several hypotheses, though they only analyzed two of them. First, they predicted that participants would choose a suspect more frequently in the target present condition than when told the suspect may or may not be present or wh en they were given no information about the suspect being present. Second, they predicted that participants would be more confident in their choice than all other conditions . 2. What is the independent variable(s) for study one? Make sure you tell me how many IVs there are and how many levels there are for each IV There was one independent variable in study one with three levels : 1). Some participants were given lineup instructions which said the target was present in the lineup. 2 ). Some participants were given instructions in which the target might be present. 3). Some participants were not given any instructions. 3. What is the dependent variable(s) for study one? Note: there are several of these, so focus on th e ones the author analyzed. There were several of these, the three most important of which were 1). A manipulation check in which they were asked to recall the instruction they were given prior to the lineup. 2). W hether the participant actually chose a s uspect from the lineup . 3). H ow confident they there were in their lineup choice. 4. What did they find in study one? Give the general outcome As predicted, participants who were told the participant was in the lineup were more likely to choose a lineup suspect and were more confident in their choice than participants in the might be present or no instruction conditions 5. What are the hypothesis for study two? Like study one, the authors predicted that participants would bot h choose and have more confid ence in their choice than participants in the target might be present condition ( This second study lacked the no instruction condition). They also predicted that participants would be more willing to choose a suspect and have more confidence in that ch oice when there were eight lineup members compared to four members. Finally, they predicted that those given target present instructions and an eight person lineup would be most willing to choose and have more confident in their choice than those in all ot her conditions. 6. What is the independent variable(s) for study two? Make sure you tell me how many IVs there are and how many levels there are for each IV Commented [RW2]: They original paper also looked a t an attention check variable (did they recall the instructions), and they found that participants paid attention t o the lineup instructions. However, t his manipulation check DV isnt as relevant to the abstract as the two ANOVAs the author ran , so there i s no need to write about it as a hypothesis CHOOSING A SUSPECT 3 There were two independent variables in this study. The first one was lineup instructions (target pr esent versus target might be present). The second one was the number of participants in the lineup (eight versus four members) 7. What is the dependent variable(s) for study two? Note: there are several of these, so focus on the ones the author analyzed. Like study one, there were three important dependent variables. 1). A manipulation check in which they were asked to recall the instruction they were given prior to the lineup. 2). Whether the participant actually chose a suspect from the lineup. 3). How confident they there were in their lineup choice. 8. What did they find in study two? Give the general outcome Like study one, participants in the target present condition chose and were more confident in their choice than participants in the target might be present condition, but only when given an eight person lineup. The target present and target might be present conditions had similar results for four person lineup conditions. 9. I want you to review the references and spot the reference (s) that is no t in APA format and rewrite it for me according to APA rules. Note: there may be as few as zero and as many as ten incorrect references, so make sure to look at them all! There were two incorrect APA references. They should look like the following: Brigha m, J., Ready, D., & Spier, S. (1990). Standards for evaluating the fairness of photographic lineups. Basic and Applied Social Psychology , 11, 149 -163. DOI: 12323 -38271 Pezdek. K., Blandon -Gitlin, I., & Moore, C. (2003). Childrens face recognition memory: More evidence for the cross -race effect. Journal of Applied Psychology, 88 , 760 -763. DOI: 38765 -DY2972 CHOOSING A SUSPECT 4 Abstract Two studies looked at eyewitness confidence in lineup studies . In study one, 551 undergraduate participants saw a picture of a target suspect. They then viewed a n eight person lineup that altered the lineup instructions (they were told the target was either present, might be present, or they were not give n any information , though in reality the target suspect was always missing ). The authors predicted that participants would both choose a suspect and be more confident in their choice when told the target was present compared to the other two conditions. Results confirmed this prediction. In study tw o, 337 participants also received either the target present or might not be present instructions , though they were given a lineup that differed in size (eight versus four members ). Like study one , participants in the target present condition chose and were more confident in their choice than participants in the target might be present condition, but only when given a n eight person lineup. This implies that telling someone that a person is present in a lineup can lead them to find a suspect, but only if they have a lot of lineup choices. Keywords: target present, target absent, simultaneous lineups, confidence, system variables Commented [RW3]: Make sure to include the word Abstract at the top of the page. You dont need to include the phrase Part Two here. APA format specifies only the word Abstract, which is centered and not bolded. Commented [RW4]: Unlike most paragraphs in an APA formatted paper, there is no indent for the abstract Commented [RW5]: The student wrote this in 189 words! Its a lot of information in a short amount of space, so make sure to edit it a lot to get all relevant information in place. Commented [RW6]: Notice how the lines do not line up on the right side of the paragraph? That is correct APA style. DO NOT full justify the paragraph. It lines up along the left margin, but not the right margin Commented [RW7]: Make sure to include your keywords!
