Directions

Full-bodied entries—of at least ten sentences of writing from you (in addition to quotations from the text)—are more likely to receive full credit. Lesser credit will be assigned to work that is missing, brief, or clearly disengaged or sloppily produced such that miscues interfere with readability.

Your responses to other students’ work are also assessed. Students often resist commenting on each others’ work in substantial ways; instead choosing to post simply “good job” or “looks okay to me.” This kind of peer response doesn’t help your own—or your peers’—development as a writer and thinker.

Acceptable peer responses will, among other things:

• Explicitly identify what was learned from someone else’s work.
• Ask a follow-up question.
• Offer an alternative interpretation.
• Offer concrete strategies for improvement.

Questions (Reading)

Choose one questions to answer:

1. Schmid argues that the position of the criminal as an “insider” in a community or his position as an “outsider” from the community helps us to understand the persistent trend in crime procedural films and television shows. Using material from the chapter, show us how this applies to Norman Bates? Is he an insider or an outsider–and how does this help us accept/reject him?
2. “In some respects, the absence of sympathy for the criminal in contemporary true-crime narratives recalls the Puritan view of sympathy as a dangerously unstable emotion” (Schmidt 195). How does Schmidt suggest that having sympathy for a serial killer is a good thing/bad thing? Is that even possible? Why would we want that?
3. Schmidt elaborates upon the long history of true crime novels with an extended analysis of Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood. How does this example apply to Psycho? Why would we want to become intimate with serial killers? What is the moral dilemma faced by those who come face-to-face with these killers? What is gained by seeing their stories?

Short answer Essays– To receive full credit, ALL parts of a question must be addressed.

1.) Describe naturalistic observation and participant observation. Identify one problem that is unique to each of these methodologies AND one problem that is shared by both methodologies.

2.) Explain why causal conclusions can be drawn from experimental studies, but not from correlational studies. Be certain to work “bidirectionality” and “third variable” into your response.

3.) Describe between-subjects designs and within-subject designs. Explain the control problems that are unique to each of these designs and how these problems may be corrected.

4.) Explain why the presence of confounds (i.e., extraneous variables) affects the internal validity of experimental studies.
