Research Problems and Research

In 6–8 pages, write a literature review in which you complete the following: Begin your literature review with an introduction that explains the purpose of the review and its contents. Describe the research topic that is investigated by the articles you chose. This should be a general description of the topic (the subject matter of the articles), not an overview of the articles in particular. Present the topic scientifically, and provide citations to support your description. Explain why the topic is relevant to the science of psychology and your specialization area or professional work. Identify the research problems investigated in each article. Discuss the researchers' rationale for identifying and investigating these research problems. Identify the research questions asked in each article. Evaluate the alignment between the research problem and research question for each article. In considering the introduction to each article—not the methodology, results, or discussion—discuss the contribution the research will make to the knowledge base by solving each of the research problems.
