The
purpose of this assignment is to utilize what you learned thus far.
To do that you will be writing an essay.
One
way in which psychology examines issues in life-span development is to review
current research on related topics. For this assignment you will review current
research and provide a critical evaluation on that research through an
annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is simply a brief summary and
analysis of the journal article reviewed. For more information on the required
format of the bibliography pleaseclick on annotated bibliography template.
You
will need to find research articles located in scholarly journals. Scholarly
journal articles are also referred as primary source peer reviewed articles. A
scholarly journal article can be found in the South University Online Library.
To find more information regarding utilizing the South University Library and
accessing scholarly journal articles click on Library Guide. What cannot be
used for this assignment are web pages, magazines, newspapers, text books, and
other books. Finally, current research for our purposes is an article that was
published within the last 5 to 6 years.
Remember
this is a course on human development so when looking for articles make sure
that it is related to the subject matter covered in the course. Include one or more
of the following as topic areas in your search:
- Major developmental theories
across the lifespan - Nature of geographic, gender,
social, cognitive, emotional, and developmental factors during each period
of development - Developmental factors that
impact one another. - Historical and current trends
in development - Current trends which may
differentially impact the future development of populations in the United
States - Social, and diversity issues
related to developmental psychology

The
annotated bibliography should include for each article.

each article. - Write a 1-2 paragraph analysis
and evaluation for each article found. - Make sure to integrate what you

Summary: For week 5 you will also write a summary (1-2 pages) of what you
learned from your research on the different age groups (including week 3 age
groups) as seen from the life-span perspective. To assist in the development of
this summary answer the following questions:
- After reviewing the current
research in the various age groups what similarities did you find in the
types of research and what was being studied? What differences did you
find? - Based on your course readings
what developmental theories did you find that were applicable? - Explain how the life-span
perspective provides a way of better understanding the research reviewed.
Format:
