This assignment provides you with an opportunity to analyze a real-world, peer-reviewed psychology
journal article. You should find an article containing research that examines motivation, emotion, and
social psychology. Begin by visiting an academic online Library to locate and choose a journal article in
which motivation and emotion are viewed under the lens of social psychology. The article must be peer-
reviewed and should be no older than 7 years.
Once you have chosen your article, you will write an article critique that addresses the following
elements:
Explain the research methodology that was used in the study.
Discuss social factors that influence people or groups to conform to the actions of others.
Indicate how behaviors and motivation are impacted by the presence of others.
Indicate the structures of the brain that are involved in emotion and motivation.
Examine the article’s generalizability to various areas of psychology.
In addition, your article critique should clearly identify the article’s premise and present an insightful and
thorough analysis with strong arguments and evidence. You should present your own informed and
substantiated opinion on the article’s content. You must use at least one source in addition to your chosen
article to support your analysis and opinion.
