Intro to Research Methods in Psychology
Topic: Number of Sexual Partners and Impulsivity
Hypothesis: We hypothesize that men will have more sexual partners than women. In addition, we also hypothesize that individuals who are impulsive, will also have more sexual partners. Lastly, we hypothesize that there will be a relationship between gender and impulsivity, and it will be stronger among males in comparison to females.
Please visit the library or writing center (virtually) on how to find peer reviewed articles. You can start by researching;
Sexual differences between males and females
What does impulsivity mean and how does it relate to sex?
Are men more sexual than women? What does that even mean?
What Is an Annotated Bibliography? An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to journal articles. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 100 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. These articles should be the ones you use for your introduction and final paper. However, I realize that sometimes, we may omit some and add other ones.
First, locate and record citations to the articles that may contain useful information and ideas on your topic. Briefly examine and review the actual items. Then choose those works that provide a variety of perspectives on your topic.
Cite the article using APA style.
Write a concise annotation that summarizes the central theme and scope of the article. Include one or more sentences that (a) evaluate the authority or background of the author, (b) comment on the intended audience, (c) compare or contrast this work with another you have cited, or (d) explain how this work illuminates your bibliography topic.
For this assignment you will be required to cite at least 10 articles. They should be used for your research paper part 1. Although, the first part of the paper only requires 4 journal articles, it is always a good idea to have more.
Please take a look at the document for an example of what an annotated bibliography looks like: The example is a bit longer than you should provide in yours. Please be brief on the summary, I am more concerned about the relevance. Like, yes your article talks about aggression in males, but how do you plan to use it in the paper. Be direct. The summary of the annotation should be 2-3 sentences, while the relevance should be 5-8 sentences.
