Use the outlined below and contrast the concepts as you go. Each theme and subtheme should be supported by at least 3 empirical sources. In addition to using the appropriate required readings, this assignment requires that at least four additional scholarly research sources related to this topic. You can use the sources listed in the weekly lecture notes or find relevant empirical sources yourself. DO NOT USE WEBSITES, popular books, encyclopedia entries, or other non-empirical sources in your paper.

Introduction (heading will be the title of the paper)
In the introduction, provide context for the topic. Be sure that you use a purpose statement and a thesis statement.
Introspection (1st level headings should be centered and bold)
Use a topic sentence that connects the theme to the paper topic. Define introspection, provide context for what introspection is and why it is important to psychology. This section needs support from 3 empirical sources. You will have two subthemes:
· Antecedents and Major Contributors – Discuss the antecedents and major contributors to introspection. This section needs support from 3 empirical sources.
· Application in Psychology Today—Discuss what introspection contributed to modern psychology and how it is applied in psychology today. This section needs support from 3 empirical sources. At the end of the theme, be sure to use a transition sentence that connects Introspection to
Structuralism
.
Structuralism
Use a topic sentence that connects the theme to the paper topic. Define structuralism, provide context for what it is and why it is important to psychology. This section needs support from 3 empirical sources. You will have two subthemes:
· Antecedents and Major Contributors—Discuss the antecedents and major contributors to structuralism. Be sure to contrast Structuralism with Introspection. This section needs support from 3 empirical sources.
· Application in Psychology Today– Discuss what structuralism contributed to modern psychology and how it is applied in psychology today This section needs support from 3 empirical sources. At the end of the theme, be sure to use a transition sentence that connects Structuralism to
Functionalism
.
Functionalism
Use a topic sentence that connects the theme to the paper topic. Define functionalism, provide context for what it is and why it is important to psychology. This section needs support from 3 empirical sources. You will have two subthemes:
