Explorable: Think Outside the Box

The creators of Explorable explain academic psychology studies and research in easy-to-understand ways for non-experts. The site is an excellent place to get an overview of the experiments on the assignment topic list, and allow you to make a decision about which one you'd like to research. 

From Explorable:

There are several authors writing articles for the website. We are not well-renowned researchers, nor do we wish to profile the website as authoritative. We aim to provide content which is easy to understand and accurate.

The founder and administrator is a psychologist who has worked on many research-projects since 2004 (although not full time). Because of work related issues, the founder does not wish to be identified yet. Other authors' special areas include biology, statistics and engineering.

If you are looking for an authoritative peer-reviewed source to cite, other websites may do a better job. This website is merely an attempt to summarize vital parts of research and make the scientific method more available to laypersons.
