Like a literature review, this assignment is intended to have you compare and contrast the writing style and potential uses of a popular press article versus a peer-reviewed primary research article that discusses a psychological phenomenon, written within the last 10 years. The articles need to address the same area of interest (for example, depression and gender, love and crying, teenage norms and ostracism etc.), but do not have to necessarily be about the same exact experiment.
Use the academic paper from one of these sources. And the popular press article has to be at least 3 pages long.
Summarize the main points and evidence found within each resource in approximately 150-250 words per summary (NOTE: USE YOUR OWN WORDS, DO NOT PLAGAERIZE THE ARTICLES)
Describe using examples at least 3 ways that the theoretical approaches or article writing styles are different (note: mentioning participant pools is too simple, and if you notice that they are addressing completely different topics, your articles arent related enough)
Describe using examples at least 2 ways that the articles styles are similar in either goals, structure, or something similar to this
Describe situation where you think that you would benefit using a popular press article, and then describe situations where you would be better off using a peer-reviewed research article
Provide in-text citations and a reference page in APA format (including DOI number for the peer-reviewed article)
Attach the first page of each article (which has text) to the back of your paper OR email the full articles to your GSI before it is due
Write a paper that is coherent, with smooth transitions between topics (no bullet points or lists)
