Book excerpt: The Harvard Writing Project's disciplinary writing guides aim to introduce students to some of the basic practices and conventions of writing and conducting research in the various academic disciplines. Writing for psychology incorporates many of the elements of expository writing: formulating a thesis, providing a motive for the thesis, supporting this thesis with convincing evidence, and anticipating objections from readers. These critical thinking/writing skills, as well as the ability to form and support an argument, create a foundation on which you will build the more specialized skills required for psychological writing.
