DO NOT I MEAN DO NOT USE AI TO WRITE THIS PAPER PLEASE . I WILL NEED THE FIRST PAGE OF THE PAPER BY TUESDAY THE 14TH FOR REVIEW THANK YOU.
Paper Writing Hints: For
Paper I, start the paper broadly and then narrow your focus (think about the
hourglass example provided in the lecture). My suggestion is to give a brief
overview of your paper topic in your opening paragraph, hinting at the research
variables that you plan to look at for study one. Your next paragraphs will
review prior research (that is, the five references required for this paper).
Make sure that you draw connections between these references rather than just
listing them. Use smooth transitions between paragraphs and build a case that
supports your study predictions. Your final paragraphs will use the research
you just summarized to support your hypothesis. And yes, that means you MUST
include your study one predictions in Paper I (which we provided in the
researcher instructions, the debriefing statement, and at the end of these
instructions. Use those predictions! They go at the end of your Paper I). Another
good hint is to look at the literature reviews of the articles that you are
using as references as you write your own paper! See what those authors did in
their literature reviews and mimic their literature review style. Keep in mind
that Paper I will end with your hypothesis (and your references) rather than
moving directly into your study methods. In Paper II, you will pick the topic
up again and discuss your study methods, results, and discussion. Paper I thus merely
leads up to your study one.
2). The APA formatting purpose The second purpose of
Paper I: Study One Literature Review is to teach you proper American
Psychological Association (APA) formatting. In the instructions below, I will tell
you how to format your paper using APA style. There are a lot of very specific
requirements in APA papers, so pay attention to the instructions below as well
as your APA Formatting PowerPoint presentation! Keep in mind that the research methods
classes at FIU now use the 7th edition of the APA formatting manual. 
Note #2: The plagiarism limit for Paper I is
30% (assessed by turn-it-in within Canvas). This excludes any overlap your
paper might have regarding citations, references, and hypotheses. Make sure
your paper falls under 30% 
5 CITATIONS ARE TO BE INCLUDED 
1.    
APA reference page formatting:
a.    
The
References section starts on its own
page, with the word References
centered and in bold font. Use proper
APA format here (or lose points!)
2.    
Number of required references: All five
references that you cited in the literature review must be in the
reference section (if you cited more than five articles, then there should be
more than five references, which is fine in this paper).
a.    
Remember,
at least three references must come from the Canvas article folder, one can
come from either Canvas or library resources (PsycInfo), while the last one cannot
come from Canvas. Only peer-reviewed articles are allowed for Paper I (no
books, journals, websites, or other secondary resources).
b.    
References
and citations must align. That is, if you cite something, I expect to see a
reference for it. If you have a reference for something, I expect to see a
citation for it. 

Submit your paper as a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document with 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, and one-inch margins. No sources are required. However, if you choose to use sources, follow APA citation guidelines when citing the sources both throughout and at the end of your paper. While you will not be graded on the quality of your citations in this assignment, you may receive guidance from your instructor on how to properly cite sources.
