Research Article Summary 1
Find a scholarly research article (No blogs, commercial websites, online non-academic organizational materials, news articles, or popular magazines, allowed -- the APUS online library is a good place to look!) on the topic of children/adolescent violence and the media. Does playing violent video games and watching violent TV/movies cause an increase in violence with this population?
Please be sure that the article that you choose details an actual research study and is not a general information article. You must be able to include all of the elements listed in the grading rubric. Summarize the article in 2 pages of your own words, citing, in APA style, both internally and at the end of your paper, any paraphrasing or quotes (use very few of these). In your concluding paragraph describe what you learned from the article (this is the only part of the paper in which you should offer a personal perspective and are permitted to use first person "I" language).
Please see the attached guidelines for further guidance.
