To complete this assignment you will select a peer-reviewed article that focuses on phonation in healthy participants completing a speech-related task. The participants in the study need to be human beings who DO NOT have speech or language disorders. Participants must also be engaged in a speech-related task as part of the study. Reviews turned in that do not meet these criteria will receive a grade of zero. No exceptions.
The following guidelines should prepare you for how to read and review a research article.
Please include each of the sections below under a separate heading. This will assist me in accurately and efficiently identifying each component in your article summary.
HOW TO READ AND REVIEW A RESEARCH ARTICLE
1. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
Typically, this section of an article describes the problem and gives a brief review of the literature pertaining to the topic. Your job is to read and comprehend this section and determine how well it sets up the experiment or investigation. In your summary of this section, you must include
A concise statement of the purpose of the research that begins with the words, “The purpose of this study was . . .” The purpose of the author’s research study should be stated clearly.
A brief statement that summarizes why the authors feel this study needs to be done. What background information has been provided to justify doing this study?
An opinion statement of whether or not the author(s) have provided you with adequate background material to understand the purpose of their study. Did they explain their purpose clearly?
2. METHODS
In this section, the authors indicate how they completed the study. Your summary of this section should include the following components
A description of the subjects/participants
A description of the equipment/materials
A description of the procedures used to complete the study.
Your description of each of these components should be complete. In other words, provide enough information for me to understand precisely who the subjects were (gender, age, race, health status, etc.), what equipment was used (exact brands and models), and what the subjects were required to do.
Identification of the dependent variable(s) that describe what was measured and the independent variable(s) that describe what was controlled in order to make the measurements (i.e., age, sex, and health of the participants).
3. RESULTS
This is the statistical section of the paper in which the author(s) indicate what was found. Your summary should provide clear answers to the following questions. You should notice that these questions are in terms of your understanding. Do not try to interpret how I or anyone else would understand what is written. Honestly provide your understanding.
Are the results stated clearly? Do you know what the results mean based on the author’s explanation of their findings?
Do the tables and figures help you better understand the data? Include an explanation of how they helped you to better understand or what about them was misleading or confusing.
Is there a clear delineation between results for which the author(s) find statistically significant differences and those for which they do not? In other words, do the authors clearly state that all the results presented were statistically significant? *** Statistical significance is a mathematical concept represented by a number and is not the same as the importance of the findings. So you need to carefully read this section to determine whether the author(s) found statistically significant differences among their data groups. It is important that you DO NOT simply state whether the results were significant/not significant. Instead, you should identify whether the variables had positive or negative influences on what is being measured. For example, if increased exercise improves (positively influences) breath support during speech tasks in healthy adults and that improvement is calculated to be statistically significant, you need to say that.
Finally, please include a summary statement (3-4 sentences) of the overall results of the study. Based on your understanding, what did the authors find?
4. CONCLUSIONS
In this section, the author(s) relate their findings to previous studies and make conclusions based on their findings. In your article summary, you should answer the following questions.
Do the authors generalize their results appropriately? That is, given the methods and results, do the authors stay within the boundaries of the limitations or scope of the study, or do they overgeneralize? For example, do the authors measure data from 10 children and then conclude that their results are true for all children? That would be an example of over-generalization.
Have the authors answered the questions they proposed or provided insight concerning their stated purpose? Did they answer their research question as a result of the experiment?
Lastly, include a final reflective statement (3-4 sentences) regarding how your knowledge of the topic was changed as a result of this assignment.
SCORING THE RESEARCH REVIEW
The research reviews are worth 25 points each. Specific information on how the points are awarded can be found in the Research Review Scoring Rubric.
FORMAT OF THE RESEARCH REVIEW

First discussion
Sherry Turkle’s work discusses how computers, the internet and social media have influenced how we think and interact. Detail three of the socio-cultural or interpersonal consequences she outlines in her work. Do these consequences ring true with you or are these the critiques of “dinosaurs” (i.e. old people
One reply to
Gabriel
In her works, Sherry Turkle outlines several socio-cultural and interpersonal consequences of how computers and digital technologies influence us specifically:
1. Shallow Thinking and Reduced Reflection
In How Computers Change the Way We Think, Turkle argues that reliance on technology reduces deep, reflective thinking. The immediacy of certain information can lead to shortcuts in problem solving, especially in young students who may prioritize finding answers over developing critical thinking skills. This shift serves to undermine the ability to pause, reflect, and engage thoughtfully with complex issues.
2. Decreased Quality of Conversation
Furthermore, in the flight from conversation and stop googling, let’s talk, Turkle contends that constant connectivity leads to superficial conversations. For example, in modern day youth and some adults people will often choose the convenience of texts over in-person dialogue, making conversations shorter and less meaningful. With this in mind she suggests erodes empathy and the ability to engage in open-ended, face-to-face exchanges that foster real connection.
3. Fragmentation of the Self
Finally In Constructions and Reconstructions of Self in Virtual Reality, Turkle discusses how virtual spaces, like MUDs (Multi-User Dungeons), allow users to experiment with different aspects of identity. While this can be empowering, it can also fragment the self, as people may create multiple personas online that can be difficult to reconcile with their offline identity as they get more comfortable being online.
These critiques resonate in a world where digital interaction often replaces deep, personal engagement, though some might view them as reflecting older concerns about the changing nature of communication.

Choose 3 of the 6 sociological theories and describe how those theories fit choices you’ve made in your life. Please give multiple examples (for each theory) of when and how you’ve applied each theory. For example;
During my time as an athletic administrator, I’ve hired many head coaches for women’s sports. For each search I would inevitably end up with a pool of approximately 75% men and 25% women. For most of my searches (after choosing the best candidates), there were very few females that qualified for an interview. Understanding that only 33% of collegiate head coaches were women, I felt a duty to hire more women in the head coaching profession. Therefore, I spent hours on the phone with my colleagues around the country trying to find qualified females for my open positions. When the search was concluded and I brought candidates to campus for an interview, I always made sure that 2 out of my 3 finalists were women. This is a “real life” example of the application of Feminist Theory.
Please turn in a 3 FULL page, double spaced paper on how you’ve applied these theories in your own life. You can use sport and non sport examples. Please turn in a word or PDF document.
The 3 theories I chose are Social Exchange Theory, Conflict Theory, and Symbolic Interactionism

From the Toledo Blue Stockings Manager Charlie Morton’s decision in the late 1800’s to play Moses Walker, to the 2020 Milwaukee Bucks protest of the shooting of Jacob Blake, professional athletes have continually exercised their right to peaceful protest. As a matter of fact, peaceful protest is the cornerstone of US democracy.
Your assignment is to profile an athlete or team that used their platform to protest social injustice. In addition, I’d like to know whether you believe your athlete or team is or will be on the “right side” or “wrong side of history”. For example, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell recently apologized for the league’s treatment of players and not listening more closely to Colin Kaepernick and other players’ protest over social injustice. On the other hand, Hitler’s propaganda of an Aryan “master race” backfired on him when German athlete Carl Ludwig “Lutz” Long gave Jesse Owens technical advice that helped Owens win the long jump in the 1936 Berlin Olympics (Long won the silver).
Please use references to back up the facts of your profile (author and date) and address your thoughts on “the right or wrong side of history” choice in a minimum of three FULL pages, double spaced.
