Library Assignment

You will need to find at least 2 psychology journal articles in the SAC database (published within the last 15 years).  The article must be empirical in nature based on experimental research. The article can be on any topic of your choice, as long as it is a psychology journal article (NOT an article on a website) reporting a study in the field of psychology.  Every empirical psychology journal article follows the same format.  It consists of sections such as an introduction, methods, results and discussion.  These sections are clearly labeled (except introduction) and follow the right sequence.  If the article you found does not have these labeled sections, you have found the wrong article.  Once you have found 2 journal articles (both having to do with the same topic, or different topics) you will need to submit the following information (uploading a Word document in Canvas):

 

Journal Article #1

1. Explain what topic you are interested in researching.

2. Include why you chose this topic what you hope to learn about this topic.

3. Cite the full article in APA style 

4. Include the permalink to the article
