This is to be a more thorough and focused review of the literature than your first assignment. It should be the basis for the Literature Review section of your Research Proposal and when properly written and edited can be inserted into that final version of your Research Proposal. That section reads: include a review of research and theory on the selected problem (focus on the “problem”, not on “solutions”). State explicitly what theories are used to guide study on your topic. Include populations other than the one you’ve selected. Use AT LEAST 12 peer-reviewed journal articles from the academic literature. Use other additional appropriate references as needed. Focus on articles that examine those variables, risk factors, or issues you will be studying. What is the previous thinking and experience in this problem area as evidenced in the academic literature? Make certain you’ve identified the most current research on your topic. Utilize the PsycINFO database. You may use other databases but those should be in addition to PsycINFO. References and citations should be in APA format.
The Topic of my research paper is How depression effects undergraduate students during their college experience. This literature review is meant to be focused around the literature to help provide evidence surrounding the issue I chose to focus on. Peer reviewed Journal articles and Scholarly sources are the requirement! Avoid articles and journals that have (.com). Avoid articles that are from (.COM)!
Here are some things to consider while you conduct research:
– How severe the depression maybe for the students?
– Is there any stimey associated with how deep the depression may go
– Make the distinction from life adaption or depression that young adults come to college with symptoms ( I.e. First year students)
– Pinpoint and separate the severity of the depressive symptoms and some scales that measure systems of depression on some sort of a scale.
