Throughout this class this term we have discussed the inherent bias that can and does occur in researching adolescent development. For this assignment, please complete the following steps:
- Select a peer reviewed research article specific to adolescence from Psychinfo. You may choose an article you included in your paper as long as you have pulled it from Psychinfo.
- Complete a 1-2-paged, double-spaced summary. Must include reference of article and hard copy of article attached to assignment.
- You must identify what assignment this is replacing. Must be identified next to your name.
Summary guidelines:
- Background and purpose of article, including theories to be tested.
- Experimental procedures used.
- Summary of research results.
- Author’s conclusions.
- Interpretation of the results and a statement addressing whether or not this research is focusing on negative aspects of adolescence (i.e., high risk behavior, drug use, etc.) or positive aspects of adolescence (i.e., creativity, cognitive advances, identity development, love, etc.) and how might the study be improved in future research.
