Assignment 2: LASA # 1: Literature Review Paper

The purpose of this assignment is to provide you with
the opportunity to select a topic in the particular area in which you
have an occupational or research interest, and to complete a literature
review of the topic, using a minimum of ten scholarly references. This
will allow you to demonstrate mastery of the program outcomes for the
B.A. psychology program at Argosy University. A helpful Web site for
organizing and writing a literature review is www.wisc.edu/writing/Handbook/ReviewofLiterature.html.

You may also want to review the following documents that are available in the Doc Sharing area of the course:

• A sample literature review,
• a PowerPoint document illustrating how to set up your word processor for APA style
• a “Guide for Writing a Literature Review”

Based on your review of the most recent, relevant
research findings on your chosen topic, submit a final version of your
literature review paper, integrating feedback received from your
instructor. Be sure to include a research/focal question, synthesis of
the literature you reviewed, well-established conclusions, and points
of discussion and/or future research.

• Begin the review by defining the objective of the
  paper. Introduce the reader to your focal question. What is this
  question intended to address? You may state your “question” in the form
  of a problem if you like. Describe the topic for your literature
  review and why you chose this topic. Explain why you think it is
  important. It is also useful to tell the reader how the review is
  organized in your introduction section, before you the transition into
  the body of the review.

• Organize your literature review paper by
  themes/theories/concepts, rather than article by article. If there is
  one major theme you want to highlight, state the theme. If there are
  three major themes or streams of thought on the topic, briefly name
  them—and then organize the balance of your literature review around
  those three streams. Think of themes, theories, concepts, lines of
  thought, and ideas as organizing strategies for your literature review.
  Your creativity in this assignment is not the content or findings but
  the clarity with which you organize the review and create a context for
  understanding the focal question.

• When you are done introducing the first line of
  thought, create a new paragraph to discuss studies which present
  another line of thought or opposing view.

• Your literature review should hit the high points of
  each article. You should not discuss a single article, one by one,
  like a grocery list. Zero in on the main theme or finding and then move
  on to the next theme. Remember, this is a synthesis, an integration of
  all the things you have learned. You are creating a discussion on
  paper, which in turn gives the reader a context for understanding where
  the scholarship has been, where it is currently, and where it likely
  will be heading next. Provide enough details to help the reader
  understand the significance of the studies you cite without “rebuilding
  Rome.” Be sure to evaluate the studies and offer critical comments on
  any shortcomings you’ve observed or that have been reported by the
  authors.

• Discuss the main findings and their implications.
  Given the results of your literature review, what is/are the prevailing
  argument(s)? What research question could you ask in order to further
  develop this area of study and contribute to the existing body of
  knowledge? Complete your review by drawing conclusions about your body
  of research and identifying gaps in the research which still remain to
  be explored, maybe even by you! Make an argument as to why your
  research question is important and relevant to the current work being
  done on your topic.

Requirements

Apply current APA standards for editorial style,
expression of ideas, and formatting of the text, headings, citations,
and references. Remember to use your own words to describe and evaluate
the articles. Avoid quoting the material and also cite works when you
are discussing someone else’s ideas. Your paper should be double-spaced
and in 12 point, Times New Roman font with normal one-inch margins,
written in APA style, and free of typographical and grammatical errors.
It should include a title page with a running head, an abstract and a
reference page. The body of the paper should be no less than 5–6 pages
in length.

Submit your review paper to the M3: Assignment 2 Dropbox by Wednesday, August 16, 2017.

Comments Faculty FEEDBACK for assignment

You

were off to a good start with this assignment, Yolanda. Your assignment

met the minimum page count and you had enough articles. Your topic

continues to be very broad. As suggested, you may want to focus on ONE

type of factor that influences drug use in teens (i.e. psychosocial

factors, family issues, etc.). Your paper is well written and you do

look at some studies but for the LASA there are some additional

requirements- please see the criteria and assignment instructions to be

sure to incorporate those areas. Your writing is very awkward to read,

however. You also have a lot of awkward usage in your paper. On page 2

alone, in the first paragraph you have “the unselective understanding in

substance abuse” (What does that mean?), “drug abusing,” “has become

communal” (do you mean they share drugs or did you mean common or

frequent here?), “substance abuse has revealed a sporadic growth” (how

did “substance abuse” reveal anything? Do you mean the data reveals

this? Or something else?), etc. You also have some issues with your

in-text citations like “According to (Abdi…)..” if you are referring

to the authors include them in the text, not parentheses: “According to

Abdi, Ruiter, and Adal (2015)… ” Please be sure to go through this

paper with a fine toothed comb. I gave you several examples from the

first paragraph alone. You may want to check into editing services

through the school or tutoring to help you with the writing and usage

issues. You also need to work on your APA formatting for your reference

page. Also, be sure to include all required elements for the LASA due

next week. Finally, this was submitted one day late and as such, subject

to a 5% late penalty.
