a popular media source about transgendered
populations
Obtain an article on a psychology
topic – one article from a scholarly journal and one from a popular media
source such as Psychology Today and other similar journals. Think about the
differences you find between the scholarly article and the article from the
popular media source. How do the styles differ? Is one more reliable than the
other? How does each present information and data? Who are the authors or
sponsoring organizations of the articles? What is the motivation expressed through
each article?
(1) Use APA (6th ed.) style and
formatting for citations for each article.
(2) Include a link to each article
if possible.
(3) Provide a summary of each
article.
(4) Discuss the differences found
between the scholarly article and the article from the popular journal in
reference to observation, defining a problem that is perceived from the
observation, proposing a hypothesis, gathering evidence in order to test the
hypothesis, publishing the results of the research, and developing theories
about behavior.
