Assignment Task:
The Core Assessment in this course is a research proposal. Research starts with a question and there are so many questions/ areas that students too often limit themselves (or select a topic that's too big for their proposal). This assignment has been created to get you to view journals and titles.
You are to focus on two recent issues (within the last 5 years) of a social science journal, such as Psychological Science, American Psychologist, Current Directions in Psychological Science, American Sociological Review, American Journal of Sociology, Clinical Psychological Science, Social Forces, Social Problems, Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Psychological Science in the Public Interest, Journal of Marriage and the Family, Criminology
My research topic will be on childhood trauma and its effects in adulthood. Thank you very much!!
Select 2 different Social Science journals (select ones that you are interested in because it may inspire an idea or area for your research proposal)
In the Discussion area, present a listing of at least 3 articles in each journal and a brief description of them (be sure to indicate the type of research used, e.g., descriptive, evaluative, explanatory, exploratory, or review/ theoretical (there are no results presented).
Select one of the 6 articles described and propose at least 3 research questions with a brief justification of each.
Create two reference citations (one from each journal - this gives you practice with APA reference citations)
