For this assignment, you will need to find one legitimate scientific journal article related to psychology. Here are some examples of scientific journals:<\/p>\n
American Psychologist<\/p>\n
Journal of Applied Psychology<\/p>\n
Journal of Personality & Social Psychology<\/p>\n
Journal of Educational Psychology<\/p>\n
Journal of Experimental Psychology<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Typically the magazine will have the word \u201cJournal\u201d in its title.\u00a0\u00a0Psychology Today\u00a0is\u00a0not\u00a0a scientific journal).<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since the PCCC school library\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0have many of these Journals, you can use EBSCOHOST to get some full text articles.\u00a0 If you go to the school library website (in Blackboard it is at the top of the page), then click on On-line Databases, then\u00a0PsycINFO\u00a0, it will narrow the search in EBSCOHOST. \u00a0(You can access these free articles from outside PCCC by using the id: pccclibrary and the password: pccc123#). \u00a0Type in a topic of interest and narrow the search to those with full text articles and are from a journal article.\u00a0 Once it begins a search you can narrow it even further (for example, your methodology should be an empirical study.)\u00a0 If you\u00a0aren’t\u00a0sure what constitutes a \u201cscientific journal article\u201d, just send me the link to the article ahead of time and I can check it.\u00a0 This paper will be sent through Safeassign to check for plagiarism. Your safeassign percentage should be no more than 25%.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The article should describe a scientific study.\u00a0 Read the article (I know that parts of it will be complicated) and answer the following questions\u00a0in full sentences:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
What is the title of your article and who is\/are the author(s)?<\/p>\n
At what schools\/institutions are they located?<\/p>\n
What age group(s) are they looking at?<\/p>\n
Is this an experiment, a\u00a0correlational\u00a0study, or some other type of study?<\/p>\n
Give me a one paragraph summary of what they are doing in the study (the method).<\/p>\n
Give me a one paragraph summary of their results.<\/p>\n
List at least one other question that this study raises. For example, what study would you want to look at next?<\/p>\n
Lastly, reference the article using APA format (Most of the articles have an option to see the correct citation). \u00a0Here is an example of what a reference should look like:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Doran, N.,\u00a0Schweizer, C.A., & Myers, M.G. (2011). \u00a0Do expectancies for reinforcement from smoking change after smoking initiation? \u00a0Psychology of Addictive Behaviors, 25, 101-107.\u00a0doi:10.1037\/a0015061<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Make sure the paper is organized and the sentences flow well.<\/p>\n
