MY RESEARCH QUESTION: “How do mainstream Hollywood movies depict borderline personality disorder, and what impact do these portrayals have on public perceptions and attitudes towards the disorder?”

INSTRUCTION:

Complete a 10-12 page research paper that addresses a contemporary question in the area of Abnormal Psychology, and the paper should reflect current research-supported understanding of the topic chosen. Please clear your topic with the instructor to insure it meets the requirements for the class. The paper will be in 12 pt. font size, and APA format. The Title Page, if one is included, does not count toward the 10-12 page expectation. Students are expected to submit their own, original writing (i.e. no “A.I.” generated papers), although some quoted statements may be included if properly cited. As this is a 300-Level course, papers should reflect levels of analysis, interpretation of data, and writing style that are commensurate with that range of writing
