Paper Assignment
The Topic Is Harlow's Pit Of Despair.
You have a 6-7 page paper to write on a scandal or controversy in psychology. As George Santayana wrote, "Those, who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." This paper gives you a chance to learn more about psychology's less-than-glorious past, particularly as a way (hopefully) to refrain from being condemned. A crucial aspect of your paper is this: how does this scandal or controversy affect psychology today? Think about social perceptions, policy decisions, ethics responses, and current responses by profession. The purpose of this assignment is to analyze instances where psychology has not lived up to its principles.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
