Identify a particular topic of interest (e.g., stress, eating disorders, motivation,
generalized anxiety, intelligence, dissociative identity disorder, etc.) related specifically
to the field of psychology. Note: The more specific your topic (i.e., Alzheimer’s Disease
instead of Memory Loss), the less difficult it may be to formulate a well-researched and
thorough paper, though either topic is acceptable.
Identify and thoroughly address at least four (4) subject areas (or themes) of
discussion as they relate to the topic of interest. For instance, if researching Anorexia
Nervosa, subject areas/themes might include the following: the nature of the disorder,
symptoms, causes, diagnosis, at-risk groups, and/or treatment options
