Please refer to the Module 1 content guide entitled “How Do I Read and Review a Journal Article” for a full review of the instructions on how to find relevant information within published academic research. Within your submission, you must answer the questions listed below. Your submission must be written in essay style, be 3-5 pages in length (double spaced), and must follow the APA guidelines for citations. Please refer to the content guide labeled, “How do I use APA style to Cite my Sources?” in the Research Basics Module for details on how to do this. There is a grading rubric attached so you can understand how your submission will be assessed. You will notice there are two possible scores listed for each category. This is to allow points to be distributed differently if you are reviewing an article with one study compared to an article with more than one study.

How many participants were in the study? Describe the group of participants (gender, age, race, religion). Describe the procedure.

You should not be using numbers (statistics) in your answer. What are the implications of the research? In other words, how does this work affect everyday people, theory formation, interpretation of current events etc… Make sure to describe the principles, theories, and, or concepts being examined within the article and how they relate to Media Psychology. You can reference the textbook within this answer to tie in some of the concepts we are learning. What were the limitations of the current study? You do not need to use the limitations given by the author(s) of the study. Feel free to rely on what you’ve learn about research methods and ethics to suggest your own. Be sure to cite sources in the text of your writing. In addition, all sources used in the review must be referenced in a reference section. Use APA 7 style for writing stylistics, citation style and reference style. Write in paragraph style (no bullet points or numbers) always keeping an academic tone.
