PSYCHOLOGY 1101


  • Anything "borrowed" from your textbook or other source must be paraphrased (in your own words) - direct quotes /verbatim information are never permitted from any source on any assessment in this course.

  • All borrowed material from all sources (including the textbook) must be properly cited and referenced {APA citation only). Don't "stress" - APA is a lot like MLA. If you don't know how to do it, do what I do when I have questions about APA: watch some videos on You Tube.

  • All outside sources must be college level (scholarly).


  • Question #1

    • Describe a situation where you have used emotion-focused coping. What are/were the advantages and disadvantages to using emotion-focused coping in that particular situation.

    • Describe a situation where you have used problem-focused coping. What are/were the advantages and disadvantages to using problem-focused coping in that particular situation.

Be sure to integrate elements from the video as well as textbook concepts - and elaborate on your responses.


Question #2

Locate a recent article in the popular media that illustrates a concept in Social Psychology. Discuss which Social Psychology concept is being discussed, then locate at least one piece of scientific research on the topic.

Be sure to write a summary which compares and contrasts what the popular article seems to be saying versus what the research says about the same subject.

Any textbook terms used in your essay should have bold font.
