Students perform better when under pressure, such as when they procrastinate until last minute.

In this assignment, you are going to be a psychological detective. Listed below are five common beliefs that have been questioned by many psychologists. You will pick ONE of the questionable claims listed below. Your job is to find two empirical research articles that scientifically test some aspect of your chosen claim, and to use that evidence to evaluate the claim’s support (or lack thereof). For each of the claims, some suggested keywords to begin your search are provided (you likely will need to search other terms, as well), along with a sample empirical research article addressing this claim. You may not use this article as one of your two sources.
