In Unit 2, you chose a topic for your Literature Review (due in Unit 7).
The Literature Review will consist of a minimum of 4 scholarly, peer-reviewed, and full-text
journal articles on your topic. To help prepare you to write your Literature Review, in Unit 3 you
will find your first journal article on your Literature Review topic and summarize the content in
your own words. You will repeat this with different articles in Units 4, 5, and 6.
You will also explain why the information in each article is important to consider in your literature
review.
For your reference, a sample is provided under each unit where your summaries are due.
Instructions:
• Each summary should be at least one paragraph, double-spaced, using size 12 Times
New Roman font.
• At the bottom of each summary, include a permalink to the article and Reference written
in APA-style.
• Each summary must be written in your own words. Do not cut and paste the article
abstract into your assignment as an alternative to summarizing.
• You must locate and summarize full-text, peer-reviewed journal articles, not just an
article abstract. Website articles, such as those from Psychology Today or About.com,
or magazine articles such as those from Time Magazine, are not allowed for these
assignments. If you need help differentiating between a peer-reviewed journal article and
a magazine article, review the first link below. If you need help locating full-text peerreviewed journal articles through the Post University Library, review PSY Tutorial:
