Summary: Spin Psychology
Comment: Psychology is a field where writers aim for conclusions to their own fieldwork, critical reviews of research case studies, explanations and summaries. They do this through three basic kinds of WRITING FOR PSYCHOLOGY: the exam essay, the experimental laboratory report, and the research evaluation or the term paper. Christopher Thaiss and James F. Sanford say this mostly technical type of writing practice runs well as notes and postevent summaries to increase learning; marginal notes, important point paraphrases and summaries, and reading response logs to improve observation and reading; and clearly organized paragraphs and white space to experiment with consistently simple format and style to make it easy for readers to pick up on main ideas. Audience, format and purpose work together in final copy: formal or informal tone and technical level of language adjust to the assumed knowledge level of the reader. Jill M. Scott et al's THE PSYCHOLOGY STUDENT WRITER'S MANUAL and this nicely orgaized and written guide to American Psychological Association rules work wonders with Ron Blicq's TECHNICALLY-WRITE, Charles T. Brusaw's HANDBOOK OF TECHNICAL WRITING, THE MICROSOFT MANUAL OF STYLE FOR TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS, and the TECHNICAL COMMUNICATION books by John M. Lannon and by Maris Roze.
