Article Analysis
You must first find an empirical research article related to a topic discussed in Chapters 1-9 in the textbook.
You have access to these journals (and plenty more!) through the UT Tyler Library: https://www.uttyler.edu/library/ (Links to an external site.) . Google Scholar is also an excellent search engine. Each analysis should be 2 pages in length, double spaced, 12 pt. Times New Roman font (10 points).include:
Summary: What theoretical idea(s) or research questions inspired the study?
What methods were used to investigate the topic? What were the most notable results? What implications do the results have for real life and/or for future research? (40 points)
Analysis: How do these findings relate to this week’s textbook chapters? Were the findings consistent with what was presented in the text?
What were the main strengths of the article? What did you think the authors did especially well in describing or analyzing their results? What were the main weaknesses of the article?
What were the limitations of the methods used? What interpretations did the authors make that you think are in error, unjustified, or over-stated? What lingering questions do you have?
