Assignment 2: Dropbox Assignment

Psychoanalytic vs. Humanistic Perspectives

For this assignment, you will review current research in Personality and provide a critical evaluation of that personality research through an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is simply a reference list with a brief summary and analysis of each journal article reviewed. For more information on the required format of the bibliography please click on the annotated bibliography template.

Step 1: Choose two of the major personality perspectives: 

• Psychodynamic (use different articles then used for Week 1 Assignment 3)

Step 2: Using the South University Online Library only:

• Find three journal articles related to each topic area you have chosen. (Your textbook, Wikipedia, or any other Web source will not be accepted for this assignment.) Be sure the articles you choose are related to personality. Merely because a word like “Psychoanalytic” appears in the title does not mean the article is about a psychoanalytic theory of personality.
  

• The journal articles have to be from peer-reviewed scholarly journals. These articles do not need to be empirical studies, but are required to be from primary sources, and will need to be no older than 5–6 years.

Step 3: Complete the annotated bibliography including:

• a 1–2 paragraph written summary for each article.
• a 1–2 paragraph evaluation for each article including an analysis that incorporates course readings.
• correct spelling, grammar, and professional vocabulary.
• APA format including:

Annotated Bibliography: Topic (Chosen from the list provided) [Name] South University Online [Template instructions: Replace the information in red with your work-then delete this line] 2 Annotated Bibliography: Topic (Chosen from the list provided) [APA formatted reference for source (list in alphabetical order) using a hanging indent] [Underneath the reference, give a summary of the article then an analysis: Summary of article: 1-2 paragraphs that describe the following information in your own words in paragraph format (not bullet points). • Why the article was written? • What are the major points of the article? • If the article was a study, describe: o The methods used in the research: Include the participants, how the research question(s) was tested or measured (e.g. survey, interview, formal testing…) o The results of the study: What did the researchers find out? o The conclusions: What did the researchers conclude from the study? What were the limitations of the research? NOTE: The article doesn’t need to be cited in the body of the annotated bibliography because it is referenced in the beginning of the review. For any other sources used (e.g. the text) you would cite as you normally do and list them in the reference section. [Analysis of the article: 1-2 paragraphs describing the following: Whether or not the points made by the author are logical and supported by evidence and whether the author demonstrates any bias in presenting the arguments. Were other arguments or possibilities considered? Are the author’s conclusions supported? Do they fit with your understanding of the topic and your textbook’s description (cite the textbook and any other sources you use for analyzing your article – include any additional sources you cite as part of your analysis in your reference list)? Why or why not (provide support for your opinion)?] 3 Example of formatting: Boonstra, A., & Broekhuis, M. (2010).
