PSY-535 – Assignment 1
Identify an article from a peer reviewed journal that has been published within the past five
years. You need to have access to the full text of this article. The article should focus on any
area of psychological research and include in the content of the article information about the
author’s research hypotheses and theories on which they are based. The first paragraph should
be a very concise summary of the article, and the remainder of the paper should include your
evaluation of how well the research hypotheses are presented and justified, as well as how well
the article describes the background of the theories they used (i.e., for a reader who might be
unfamiliar with the specific theory, is the theory understandable?).
Instructions:
Your assignment must be formatted using APA Style (7th ed)–student research paper template.
Your paper should be no more than 2 pages (not including the title page or references page),
and include at least three peer-reviewed academic references. You are also required to submit
your assignment with the SafeAssign option checked (please review your SafeAssign plagiarism
report prior to submission).
