Academic Accountability
To prepare for this activity please reviewThe Plagiarism Spectrum: Tagging 10 Types of Unoriginal Work(Turnitin 2012). Review Instructor Guidance and Announcements. Part of scientific research includes conveying knowledge (about theory research etc.) to others. In this activity you will practice using your ownacademic voiceand applyingin-text citations.
Review the following passage from your textbook followed by a rewritten summary:
ORIGINAL AUTHORS THOUGHTSSocial psychologists use the scientific methoda hypothesis or testable prediction is developed and then tested using observational correlational or experimental methods. These different methods answer different kinds of questions. Observational methods answer questions relating to what is happening. Correlational methods look at relationships between variables enabling prediction. Correlation however does not allow us to determine causation. With the experimental method researchers manipulate one variable the independent variable and measure the effect of that manipulation through assessment of the dependent variable. At times once one knows the results of a research study those results may seem obvious but people tend to fall short when truly predicting results beforehand. This sense that you knew it all along is called the hindsight bias. In research attention is paid to potential ethical issues. Researchers have their research plans checked by an institutional review board and participants provide informed consent and are debriefed at the end of the participation.

REWRITE BY SOMEONE WANTING TO WRITE ABOUT THE ARTICLE AND ITS FINDINGSSocial psychologists use the scientific methoda hypothesis or testable prediction is developed and then tested using observational correlational or experimental methods (Feenstra 2013). Different methods answer different kinds of questions. Observational methods answer questions about what is happening. Correlation enables prediction by looking at relationships between variables. Correlation however does not determine causation. With the experimental method researchers manipulate the independent variable and measure the effect of that manipulation on the dependent variable. Occasionally one might correctly predict results and feel as though he or she knew it all along (hindsight bias) but this is rare. In research attention is directed to possible ethical issues. An institutional review board will check the plans of a researcher and participants will provide informed consent and will be debriefed following participation in studies.
