Per the syllabus, the paper should 3-5 pages long, double-spaced, (12 pt font). Your paper will use a theory and/or research data covered in any of your Psychology classes or recently published that relates to the use and effects of social media on human behavior, thoughts and emotions. At least 5 references too ( no textbooks or Wiki). This is a hot area of study these days so you should have no problem finding recent research results.

Be specific in terms or the 1) Class you took which included a discussion of the theory you choose; and 2) The Theory, including why you became interested in the theory; 3) Results of recent research in the area; and 4) Recommendations (from you!) for future research. Youll need to include all four in your paperwork earn a passing grade so using an outline works very well.

Obviously a class like Social Psychology might be a great place to look for relevant theories but I also think Abnormal Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Multi-Cultural Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Theories of Personality and Organizational Psychology would be interesting too.
