Go to PsycPORT (Links to an external site) , use the “search” tool, and select an article related to one of the topics below. Student does not have to rely only on the first page of the site. Write a summary of the article that is at a minimum 150 words and a maximum of 200 words long. The summary must include the main ideas of the article, the chosen topic from the list at the very top, a descriptions of any research discussed in the article, details about the research discussed in the article (i.e. who conducted it, where, research design, number of participants, research question, data analysis, results), and a link to the article. No direct quotes or copied and pasted text from the article are allowed.
Please be clear about your topic choice (of the five given) by putting it at the top of your submission. There are a few writing samples on my HCCS Learning Web profile page. Also be selective about what kind of article you choose. Choose an article that clearly discusses a particular study that has a direct relationship with the topic. Give me the details of the study (who conducted it, where, research design, number of participants, research question, data analysis, results, etc). Do not choose an article that provides basic information about the topic. For instance, if you choose Learning, you need to find a research article that connects Learning and some other factor, like poverty, for example, and performs a study related to those concepts. Another example being too general would be using articles from the “help center” section of the APA website. When describing the cutting edge research found in your article, give details about the study – design, number of participants/subjects, results, etc. There is a lot of general information about these topics on the website but choose articles that discuss cutting edge research regarding the topic. One rule of thumb is that if I can find the info in the article in the course textbook or a textbook for General Psychology, then the article is too general. The other key is if the article never even mentions your topic as a key concept, its best to find another article.
