For this part of the final project, you will create an introduction that includes a literature review of research pertinent to the topic area you have
chosen.
For this literature review, you will include the first five sources you identified in the Module One discussion. (You will add additional sources to this
section of
your paper for your final submission to meet the total requirement of 10.) This introduction should contain the following elements, which will
demonstrate your
ability to interpret psychological research and develop research questions regarding unexplored topic areas:
An overview of your chosen topic
A specific statement about your thesis—the assertion that you are making based on your theoretical and background knowledge
A statement of the hypothesis to be tested through your proposed research
An overview of the proposed research, including the general research strategy you willuse
A description of the existing knowledge on the topic
A literature review of resources relevant to the chosen topic (For this milestone, your literature review should include at least five scholarly sources
that
you identified in the Module One discussion.)
When preparing your literature review, remember to address the following:
Describe the existing knowledge about your topic related to your research question:
o What is already known about the topic?
o What is not known?
o How did this study add to the knowledge base for your Topic?
