Schreiben und Gestalten von Abschlussarbeiten in der Psychologie und den Sozial

Written clearly and with a sense for what is really relevant, the book is a practical guide for the preparation and design of written work (reports, term papers, seminar papers and theses). By way of introduction, the authors explain the structure of academic papers and give advice on how to organise the writing process. Many examples are used to show what constitutes a scientific writing style and how it can be implemented. Taking into account the manuscript guidelines of the professional societies (APA and DGPs), it is explained in a comprehensible way what to pay attention to in the design of the work, including the presentation of statistical results, the correct citation and the citation of sources.Another focus of the book deals with the work on the computer. Supplemented by comprehensive online materials - such as a Word document template for creating your own paper - tips are given on word processing and making tables and charts. A helpful "checklist" can be used before handing in the work to check once again whether the most important design rules have been observed and the most common mistakes avoided. This new edition has been adapted to the new manuscript guidelines of the DGPs and the software recommendations have also been brought up to date. A new addition is an extended consideration of how to deal with writing difficulties.
