Tipsters,
I'm working on developing an assignment for my research methods
course. The idea is to present students with a list of
methodologically "sexy" (i.e., clever) studies in psychology, and ask
each student to locate the article, review it, and briefly present it
to class. (Besides increasing their article-reading and presentation
skills, this would expose students, in a relatively short amount of
time, to a variety of different methods and important findings in
psychology).
Ideally, I'd like a broad cross-section of articles from all areas of
psychology and using many different kind of methods (e.g.,
observational, correlational, experimental, quasi-experimental,
archival, etc.). As a social psychologist, however, my own list is
very heavily experimental and very heavily from social. I was hoping
that if some of you would write in with your own "Top 5", "Top 10" or
short list of favorites, I (and anyone else who is interested) would
be able to come up with a pretty compelling list. For this list, I
think that "classic" articles would be great (i.e., those that have
had an important impact on the field), but I'd also be interested in
recent articles that are "soon/someday to be classic". In addition,
I'd love to hear about any study that is _particularly_ clever,
classic or not.
Thanks, and I look forward to the responses! (I can forsee getting
lots of personal "please post to the list" inquiries, so if you would
answer to the general list using the same title, that would be great).
Cheers,
Traci
