For this assignment, you will evaluate the external validity of Eskine, Kacinik, and Prinz (2011), with a particular focus on the external validity to situations and settings outside the study.
Your paper should address the following questions:
What steps did the researchers take, if any, to increase the study’s similarity to real-world contexts?
Given your response above, what are the implications for generalizing to settings outside the experiment?
HINT: As you write, you will find it helpful to draw on the Chapter 14 concepts of ecological validity and experimental realism.
You do not need to provide an in-text citation or references list for this exercise. As you write, be sure to paraphrase the ideas in the source article and to avoid plagiarism. For our purposes, three or more consecutive content words taken from the Eskine article will constitute plagiarism.
