submit a research paper on a cultural comparison on some aspect of psychological functioning. The paper will focus on a comparison of psychological phenomenon between 2 cultures, e.g., the experience of emotion, gender roles, infant attachment, interpersonal attraction and love, culture-specific psychological disorders, parenting styles, child-rearing styles, family structure, self-perception, moral reasoning, etc. You must discuss two distinct cultures using empirical evidence when comparing behavior and emotions.
The body of your work should be 7-8 pages in length (not including the cover and references pages), and should include relevant references from the textbook plus five additional academic sources such as a book, an article from a professional journal, or a credible web site. Sources such as Wikipedia, dictionaries, Blogs, magazines, newspapers, and web sites ending in .com or .net are not considered academically relevant. Sites ending in .edu, .gov, or .org often have credible information that students sometimes use as sources. Before using any information from the Internet, you must be able to determine who the author is in order to assess the credibility of the source. Be sure your paper includes a correctly-formatted title page and a separate References page, following APA guidelines.
An Abstract is not required.
