extrasensory perception

Description

1. Extrasensory Perception (chapter 6) The official psychology term for ESP is Parapsychology. Some things to consider in your discussion: Does it exist? What does our textbook and the relevant chapter in its web site say? How much support do you find for it in ProQuest mass media and academic research or professional articles? What do you find web pages with an Internet search? What is your overall conclusion about the existence of ESP, and how solid do you think the objective evidence is for your conclusion? Now comment on your choice with the following 4 items: (include the question above your answer) 1. Your view of the topic before beginning this week’s assignments and your conclusion about the topic after doing this assignment. 2. A summary of your personal experiences and observations regarding the topic including your well considered opinions about the topic. 3. A summary of a ProQuest article that you considered the most accurate (valid). Be sure to clearly identify the articles, authors, publications, and dates. APA format is designed for this, but you will not be graded on its use for this assignment. Remember that ProQuest has different search options, and allows you to search for “peer-reviewed” articles. 4. Identify and describe the contents of an Internet web site you found to be informative, reliable and valid on this topic. Remember that you earn points for demonstrating that you can “think like a psychologist” about these issues. Evidence that is scientific and consistent is the most valued, but opinions and personal experiences are also valuable to compare to the scientific evidence.
