Use the CSU Online Library to find an academic journal article that applies social psychology to stress and/or health outcomes. In researching articles, choose one that will help you complete the assignment. Be sure that the article interests you and that it presents opportunity for improving stress and/or health outcomes. Then write a paper addressing the following prompts concerning the article you selected.
Part I: Article Summary
Explain why you picked the article you selected for this assignment. Include a description of how and why the articles focus captured your interest.
Describe the previous research related to your article. Usually, this information will be under the Introduction section or be in the paragraphs before the Method section. Here you need to summarize the information, such as introductory descriptions of previous, related research and the authors ideas about why the articles study needs to be conducted. Be sure to identify how the main topic can be connected to social psychological concepts. Do not discuss the articles study design just yet.
Describe the participants of the research article you read. In your description, include demographic information (e.g., age, gender, race, ethnicity, employment status, college status, or geographic location). You should also include whether the participants were compensated for their participation or not. You must address each of these components to the extent that they are included in the method section of your article.
Explain the research methodology utilized in the article. You will include whether the articles study used surveys or inventories, individual or group interviews, case studies, laboratory tasks, or naturalistic observations. If your study was an experiment and/or utilized special machinery, you will also provide detailed explanation of how it was constructed and what it measured.
Summarize the findings of the article. You can find this information in the results section. Some information might display findings in tables and charts, but these should not be replicated in your essay. Be thorough and concise when describing the findings in a narrative format.
Summarize what your articles authors said in the discussion and/or conclusion sections. This information might be found under discussion and conclusion headings, or it might be in paragraphs near the end of the article with no distinguishing heading. A discussion section is usually interpretations of findings (i.e., what do they mean), and a conclusion section is generally focused on author ideas about why the findings occurred. There could be overlaps. If your article has both sections, you will summarize them both.
Part II: Application and Extension
Describe three different theories, concepts, or principles that were covered in your selected article and in the course textbook. The information can be from any chapter in the textbook, but you must reflect influence of the social environment and only one can be directly stress and/or health related. The other two need to come from previous units. Additionally, these three should be distinct, and they must be described in clear and succinct statements with accompanying explanations of how they relate specifically to the article.
Explain one way that your article has real-world application through stress, health, and positive psychology concepts. To have real-world impact means that a studys findings are used to make a difference, not that they can be related to phenomena that exist in the real world. You will need to provide specifics about what might be done with the findings.
Describe one way that positive psychology concepts could be used to improve the stress and/or health issues in your article. Your answer should emphasize how to enhance ones subjective well-being using aspects of the PERMA approach.
Explain something related to your selected articles focus that the researchers did not cover in their study and that you would like to learn more about. Your answer should not be a critique of the article, but a way to extend it. Be sure to describe what you want to learn more about, why you are interested in it, and how it relates to the articles focus.
This assignment will help you practice your information literacy skills. What is information literacy? Information literacy is the ability to find and evaluate information to help make sound decisions in life, whether for academic, professional, or personal purposes.
This Psychology Research tutorial will help you conduct research.
Your article review should be at least three pages in length. You must use the article you are discussing as an external reference in your article review. In addition, you must use your textbook and at least one other academic source as a reference. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations. Please format your article review and all citations in accordance with APA guidelines.

After reading the article, you are to develop a two-page response paper to include your thoughts on the ideas that were presented in the article. In your response, share if you agree/disagree with the ideas that were presented.
Be sure to use APA format for this assignment. An APA style guide can be found in the Student Resource module for this course.
