research

For this assignment, you will submit your introduction section and literature review along with your APA formatted title page and reference page.
The introduction to your research paper should communicate what your research is about. In the introduction section you should describe the purpose of your research, explain the problem or issue, and establish the need for your research to be conducted.  
Further, the literature review is the biggest component of your final research paper. You will review the scholarly literature on your selected topic including a review of at least three primary sources (journal articles). Please note that dissertations and thesis projects do not count as they have not been subject to the same peer review process as journal articles. 
The literature review should begin broadly and slowly narrow down prior research studies until you reach your study purpose. Describe what the consensus in the field is and explain how your study will add to the body of knowledge on the topic. Address how your study differs from prior studies, the purpose of your research study, the research hypothesis (or hypotheses) and the anticipated outcome of the research. You should include subsections for The Present Study and for your Hypothesis (or Hypotheses). Please review the example assignment on the next page or by selecting here.
***Make sure to incorporate any feedback and changes requested from your previous assignments (e.g., title & reference page, article summary assignment, introduction section/hypotheses assignment).
