You will need a minimum of 2 credible references (APA style). Your references should be peer-reviewed journal articles or published books. 

Your first article is considered your primary article/research study. However, your second article will highlight research that conflicts/disagrees with the findings from your first article. You will need to do another search of the literature to find an article that disagrees with your first study. 

If after you second literature review you are not able to find conflicting research, then your second article will be in support of your findings from the primary article. 

Your research study must be from the year 2000 – 2021. 

You will write a 3-5 page paper (APA style) that addresses the following questions:

1. (a) What is the article about, and how does it relate to one or more topics from class? In other words, describe the related theories and or/research discussed in class and your textbook. (b) Why were you interested in this topic?

2. (a) What type of research was conducted (e.g., correlational, experimental)? Explain your answer. (b) What is the study hypothesis, describe the participants and what were the procedures used to conduct the study? (c) Is there any conflicting research that disagrees with the findings from your primary article? (Review the literature to see if any studies exist that conflict or disagree with the findings from your primary study). 

3. (a) What are the results of your research study? (b) What are the real-world implications of this study? (c) Who does it apply to? (d) What are the strengths and weaknesses of this study?
