1Read, summarize, and critique three current psychological journal articles related to your question. These must be peer-reviewed and current. At least TWO must be original empirical studies ; the remaining article can be a literature review of your topic. A short video tutorial is provided on Moodle to help you find these resources in the library database: PsychINFO.
Reviews & critiques of these articles will likely take up 1-2 pages each for a total of 4-6 pages of your paper. For each article:
Summarize the author(s)’ hypothesis, methods, results, and major conclusions.
Critique & discuss the quality of the article in depth
Discuss the real-world application of the results (How can we use this information to help others?
Describe any major flaws and explain any problems with the study.
Note: The article critique/application/flaws are much more important than the summary. Be sure to write a detailed critique of each article that should show critical thinking and depth .
