To help you become better exposed to health psychology, research a topic related to the field of health psychology (you must obtain instructor approval for this topic) and then create an annotated bibliography for three peer-reviewed journal articles.
You should not include any direct quotes in your annotated bibliography. Read and analyze the articles to put information into your own words.
For each source you need to include the APA citation, with a permalink, and three paragraphs.
Paragraph 1 – Summarize your source. For your summary you should include enough information so that someone who is reading your annotated bibliography knows exactly what the article is about. Be sure to include information on the main arguments, the subjects, the methodology, and the results. Essentially, you are putting the information from the source in your own words.
Paragraph 2 – Assess your source. Evaluate your source. How useful is it? How does it compare to your other sources? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source?
Paragraph 3 – Reflect. How does this source support your research? Was this source helpful to you? How does it help shape an argument? How can you use this source in a research project? Has it changed how you would think about a topic? Does it lead you to think differently about a research topic or interest?
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
