During the first week, each student will pick one article from a group of six. After the article has been assigned, each student will write an article summary (all articles are available on the course website). You may not use any other articles or sources. The articles you may choose from are as follows:
After the Promise: The STD Consequences of Adolescent Virginity Pledges
• The Socialization of Attitudes about Sex and their Role in Adolescent Pornography Use
• “It’s Just a Lot of Work”: Adolescents’ Self-Presentation Norms and Practices on Facebook and Instagram
• Queer Youth, Intoxication and Queer Drinking Spaces
• Transgender Youth and Life-Threatening Behaviors
• Time Perspective, Sports Club Membership, and Physical Self-Concept among Adolescents
For this practice article summary, it is important for students not to inject their personal opinions or ideas, using value-free language and remaining as impartial and objective as possible. Avoid focusing on charts or illustrations, and instead focus on summarizing the author’s ideas, research question, hypothesis, methodology, results, and discussion.
