I’m studying and need help with a Psychology question to help me learn.

1. The Title Page (1 point), with:

a.) The Running Head (the short title of your paper-50 characters or less-

in all caps) the header at the top left [Running head: SHORT TITLE

OF PAPER]

b.) The Paper Title, center justified, approximately 8 character returns

down the page

c.) Your name (The Author)

d.) Your Institutional Affiliation (University at Buffalo)

e.) Author’s Note (this may include your email or reason for choosing the

topic-optional)

2.) Abstract (2 points): A separate page with a single paragraph, single-spaced, between approximately 150 and 250 words. This is the first section (with heading) of your paper and summarizes the key points/topic question areas of the paper. (it’s a bit like a spoiler alert-it basically mentions each of the heading content areas and the key point.) Consider writing one or two sentences summarizing each topic question area, as a start to your abstract.

3.) Body of the Paper (10 points): Start with a brief statement paragraph to introduce the disability topic area. In the main body of the paper, explain your topic area in detail and support via citing your sources throughout the paper. End with a conclusion summarizing the main points of your paper and reiterate your overall topic area and related theme. The body should be double-spaced, with each paragraph indented. There are specific sections of a standard APA format research paper that we will not include here. (Method, Results, and Discussion section)

The body of the paper should clearly summarize each of the following topic question areas separately and in this order. Each area should include these headings followed by the information you discovered through your research (5 points for each area):

● Etiology (potential cause – biological, psychological, social, etc.)

● Primary functional limitations

● Relevant medical treatment

● Prognosis

● Other information and Conclusion (include content you feel is important to further explain your topic.)

4. References (3 points):A separate page with your APA Style references should be included. The word “References” should be center justified at the top of a new page, with your references properly formatted. Although each paper may have a different number of references, it depends on the topic. There should be a minimum of at least four references but most papers will have more than that. References should be CURRENT (6 years old or newer). In order to avoid plagiarism, be sure to cite your resources throughout the paper.
