Choose an article.

Step 1: Choose an article.  There are nine options pasted below, chose ONE.  Skim over the titles to find one that interests you. Note that some are easier than others!  Or you can find your own article if you email it to me at least one week before the due date for approval.  All articles must be from a peer-reviewed academic journal, and must report on a specific research study. Step 2: To access the full article, click on the link and look for the word “PDF”, to download the full article.  You may need to sign-in to Langara libraries online. Step 3: Read the article.   Reading journal articles takes practice, there will be complex terminology, and it will refer to concepts and methods that you have not encountered. I do not expect you to understand every word in the article, you are aiming to gain a general understanding of what the researchers did. Consider this practice for reading more difficult material in future classes.  You should expect to read your journal article a few times to understand it, and each time should take at least 45 minutes, so factor this into your time-budget for this paper. Students are not expected to have taken statistics prior to 1215, so ignore or skim over the statistics section. The researchers will summarize the findings in the discussion section and conclusions. Watch my tutorial video for more advice on reading journal articles. Step 4: Briefly summarize the research: what did the researchers do? What did they find? The summary should only take up one paragraph of your paper. Step 5: Discuss the research in the context of our course. Do not simply summarize the article; the majority of your paper should be your analysis of this concept in the context of course material. Assume that the person reading your paper has also read the article. Think back to all of the different modules that we’ve covered: Cognition and Language, Intelligence, Personality, Motivation, Emotions Stress and Health, and Social Psychology. Flip through your notes and think about the concepts and key terms, and how they might apply. Step 6: Write it up as a 2 page paper (400-600 words).  Proofread and edit several times Articles related to COVID-19 and Psychology Schredl, M., & Bulkeley, K. (2020).
