Start by picking a topic related to adolescent psychology Anything related to adolescence-it you
have a question tee free to check with me lhis is a chance to research area of personal
interest.
Write a research paper outlining the advantages and disadvantages of social media for young people.Then find at least 3 research articles (these articles should be ones where research has been
conducted rather than overview arncles- on the topic. Hint : r vou nnd one good article use
the references of that article to find remaining required articles. Articles should include recent
publications within last 6-8 ears – however one article may be older, as it may be foundational research). For example, overall topic Teenage Sexuality; specific topic impact of sex education programs on preventing unwanted pregnancies.
This would be statement of issue)
3.
Read anacles then describe whar questons were addressed by the araclesquestions
addressed by research For example what is the impact of a 7 week 90 minute group session on

for example the 7 week sex education program reduced unwanted pregnancies by 25% when
compared to the control eroug
5. , Then vour reactions to the findings this is vour thoughts based on vour experiences beliefs –

expected or the opposite or brewuy much resums refleces your expenence. ram really interested

research swuay on this opic. ror example to nold te sex educaton sroup in the local migole
school, with groups for males and females in grades 7 and 8. Be specific)
7. Then a list of articles you read, I don’t need copies of articles
8. You may choose to use each of the areas as headine in the paper and address each of the three
arecies under the neading or take each anade separately and address each area, cuners mne
whatever option is better for you is okay with me.
