Psych Club and Psych Bowl!!!

Hello all current and former AP Psychos! 

You are invited to participate in the 

Fourth Annual Psychology Bowl

event that will be held on April 12, 2014 

at Cypress Bay HS. 

We will be participating in 

a Jeopardy-style competition, as well as

a poster presentation event.

All are welcome to attend, 

even if you are not competing in the events. 

Please be sure to attend Psych Club on Friday mornings in my room to pay dues $10 and get details. 

 For those of you participating in the poster event, here's the fine print...

For either poster category, please use a template from a template site! http://www.genigraphics.com/templates/default.asp.


Category 1: Literary review posters must include these sections:
Literary review posters will grant participants the opportunity to explore a topic of choice from any school of psychology. Students may work alone or in groups of two or three students.Literary review posters can be on a psychological contributor, experiment, topic, etc. They must include:

  

1) Introduction (origins of the topic/person/experiment) and/or define the problem.

2) Background and/or historical concepts/key theories/ideas

3) Review of procedures and/or instruments used (including experiments) to obtain the psychological concepts/key theories/ideas

4) Application of topic to current world/societal issues and norms

5) Recommendations for further research (including changing or growing on, even replicating research) or further readings

6) What sources were used? Note: Full APA reference needed for at least 5 sources. Please refer to APA citing at http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/
Email me if you need help with this.
7) All posters must have a picture/visual and chart/graph representing the data.

or Category 2: Student experiment posters
Posters based on a student-performed experiment will allow a hands-on experience where students must analyze their own findings. You may adapt your psych-related science fair project as a base for an experiment poster. Students may work alone or in groups of two or three students. You must include:

1) Introduction to the experiment in which they address the problem at hand.

  

2) Experimental design in which both the experimental and control groups are identified and the procedure is fully and carefully described.

3) Student’s hypothesis supported with background information on the topic.

4) Data obtained through experimental trials should be presented in a neat format. All posters must have a picture/visual and chart/graph representing the data.

5) Analysis of experimental results including possible psychological implications. This portion of the poster must connect to the original hypothesis in assessing its accuracy relative to the final conclusion of the experiment. If the student’s experimental conclusion differs from their hypothesis, they must explain why the hypothesis may be wrong or what flaws in the experiment may have led to the contradiction.

WHAT'S ON THE 2014 AP PSYCH EXAM?

The following info about the 2014 AP PSYCHOLOGY EXAM is taken from the College Board's website. The exam will be MONDAY, MAY 5 AT NOON.  

Exam Content

The AP Psychology Exam, which debuted in 1992, is a relative newcomer among AP Exams. The exam tests knowledge of topics included in a one-semester introductory college course in psychology. The following table reflects the approximate percentage of the multiple-choice section of the exam devoted to each content area: 

2-4%	history and approaches
8-10%	research methods
8-10%	biological bases of behavior
6-8%	sensation and perception
2-4%	states of consciousness
7-9%	learning
8-10%	cognition
6-8%	motivation and emotion
7-9%	developmental psychology
5-7%	personality
5-7%	testing and individual differences
7-9%	abnormal behavior
5-7%	treatment of abnormal behavior
8-10%	social psychology

The free-response questions evaluate students' mastery of scientific research principles and their ability to make connections among constructs from different psychological domains. Students may be asked to analyze a general problem in psychology (e.g., depression, adaptation) using concepts from different theoretical frameworks or subdomains in the field, or they may be asked to design, analyze, or critique a research study.
