PSY 4001 South Wk 3 Cognitive Psychology Influences on Human Identity Bibliography

 

I have 2 projects due for 2 different Psychology classes. Please help!

PSY4001 Week 3 Project: In this week, you will complete an annotated bibliography for a position paper that will be due in Week 5. Choosing what area you would like to study in addictions begins with examining the following areas related to the course competencies:

  • Major psychological theories and principles in the field of addictions
  • Historical link to modern issues and trends in the field of addictions
  • Current and evolving trends in the field of addictions
  • Nature of geographic, social, cognitive, and emotional factors in the development, course, and duration of addictions
  • Differences in patterns of addiction in the context of gender and developmental issues
  • Illegal and legal substance use issues regarding physical, social, and psychological effects
  • Impact of treatment and prevention methods on the incidence, course, and duration of addictive behaviors

Use this as a guide when choosing research articles.

Note: This is a course on psychology. Therefore, the research should relate to addictions but from a psychological perspective and not a purely the medical related discussion on the disorders and conditions.

Choose a topic mentioned above. Using the South University Online Library database (ProQuest or EBSCOHOST), find six journal articles related to the topic. You must use scholarly journals (i.e., peer reviewed articles). You should not use web pages, magazines, newspapers, textbooks, and other books for this assignment. Also, the research articles used must be current (i.e., within the last five years).

Based on your research, create a document that includes:

  • A summary for each of the journal articles found. (i.e., 1-2 paragraphs) of the resource (e.g., What were the goals of this article? What conclusions were made? In short, provide enough details so that anyone would be able to understand the general purpose of the article.)
  • An analysis and evaluation for each of the journal articles found. (e.g., How does the information in this article correlate with information from the course? How is the information from the article similar/different from the course? WHY? What is the significance of the information from this article? HOW can this information be helpful and meaningful? WHY is this information important? HOW does the information contribute to the field of research?)

PSY 2050 Week 3 Project: 

In this week, you will complete an Annotated Bibliography for a Position Paper related to the history and systems of psychology. First you will need to choose a topic, choose one of the following topic areas as your Position Paper topic.

Acceptable titles (Choose one):

  • Cognitive psychology-historical origins, theories and current applications
  • Behaviorism vs. psychodynamic-historical perspectives and current applications
  • Behaviorism-historical origins, theories and current applications
  • Relating Classical Greek philosophies to the current trends and theories in psychology.
  • The influence of 17–19th century Western European philosophy on current American psychology theories and practice.

  • Humanistic psychology-historical origins, theories and current applications.
  • Gestalt psychology and its influence on psychology past and present.
  • The influence of scientific thought on psychology past and present.
  • Towards a unified theory of psychology challenges and solutions.

Using the South University Online Library database only, find six journal articles related to the topic chosen. (Your textbook, Wikipedia, or any other Web source will not be accepted for this assignment.) The journal articles have to be from peer reviewed scholarly journals. Since this is a course on the history of psychology, you can choose articles that are appropriate for the topic and time period on your research. The articles do not need to be empirical studies but are required to be primary sources.

  • Write a summary for each of the journal articles found.
  • Write an analysis and evaluation for each of the journal articles found.
