PSY 215 Tracks and Topics for Final Project For the .docx
- 1. PSY 215 Tracks and Topics for Final Project For the final project and for the upcoming assignments in Module Three and Module Five, you must choose one of three tracks in the study of abnormal psychology. The track you choose determines the studies you will use to review literature, find a research gap, and design a study for your final project. Do not worry if you are not familiar with the tracks at this point in the course; you will be learning much more about them throughout the term. Choose your track thoughtfully, however, as you will not be able to switch your track once chosen. Track One looks at the biological influences of abnormal behavior. Track Two focuses on the psychological influences on abnormal behavior. Track Three explores the sociocultural influences of abnormal behavior. Note: In this document, you are provided with three articles for each track, but you will need to find two additional articles to use for your final project.
