In addition to each summary, I would like to list your dependent variables again and to explain how they were measured. For instance, if your dependent variable is mental health, how is mental health measured? Do they authors use depression? Do they use another measure like subjective well-being? Describe briefly how they arrived at a measure of their dependent variable. I would also like you to provide at least one independent variable for each article as well, and describe how it is measured. Independent variables are the thing that determines or effects the outcome or dependent variable. For instance, perhaps youre interested in how the length of stay in prison determines mental health. In this case, the length of stay is your independent variable. Just a reminder that some of you are reviewing theoretical articles where variables are not so clear cut. Just do the best you can. In summary, for each article, you need a brief summary of the article, the dependent variable for each article and how its measured, and ONE independent variable for each article and how its measured.Show more
