In (300+ words)

It is widely believed that testosterone levels play a significant role in how violent a person may be. Because of this, boys and girls are socialized in different manners.

What other factors (e.g., exposure to violence as a child) influence the amount of violence that is seen in society? Research and provide support for your views.

Scenario

You are a defense attorney and an eyewitness to the crime in question has given testimony identifying your client as the culprit. Given what you know about effortful vs. automatic encoding, state-dependent and mood-congruent memory, interference, and the constructive nature of memory (including misinformation, imagination, and source amnesia effects), how would you challenge the validity and reliability of that eyewitness testimony? What arguments would you use to confront the witness in your cross-examination?

Step 1:. Read ONE of the following four research articles and summarize the article's predictions(hypotheses), methods, and findings.

Step 2:  Answer the questions in the Scenario above. Use the research article you've chosen, as well as material from the rest of this lesson, to support your conclusions.
