PSY 530 Final Project Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric Overview: This milestone will help you get started on the final project by selecting a classic and more current study and writing a detailed summary of each. Prompt: First, choose a classic study from the Ten Classic Studies list. Second, find a more current study on the same general topic that was conducted and published in the past 10 years. For example, you could choose Milgram’s obedience study AND choose a modern study on obedience (for example, obedience in the workplace, military, or perhaps another setting). Summarize each of the two studies in detail. Include the reference for each study. Your summary for each article should include information about the literature review, research question or hypothesis, methodology, results, and the conclusion. Guidelines for Submission: This summary should be a paper of about two double-spaced pages, submitted in Microsoft Word, with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and all sources cited in APA format within the document and in the reference list.
