NOTES:
1. Please refer to the course syllabus, your course package and week three slides for further information about this exercise and paper.
2. It is strongly recommended that you consult an academic psychological journal (e.g., The Journal of Applied Psychology) to get an idea of how academic research is written. Effectively, you are
conducting psychological research (i.e., you are collecting and analyzing data about yourself and drawing conclusions based on your findings), and therefore, you are expected to structure your
research in an academic format. Reviewing a psychological journal article will help you determine how to structure your paper appropriately.
3. Completing Phase 2 is not a part of this assignment. You are not required to include any materials related to Phase 2.
