Find a scholarly, peer reviewed, full-text journal article on any topic pertaining to developmental psychology.
CCU library’s online full-text journal article search will be helpful in completing this assignment. You may
access the CCU library website by clicking on the Clifton Fowler Library link in the left sidebar for this course.
Your article needs to be peer-reviewed, which means experts in the field have reviewed it to ensure its
credibility before its publication. In other words, Psychology Today is not an appropriate source, but the
International Journal of Group Psychotherapy is appropriate. On the CCU Library website, you can choose to
have results limited to only those that have been peer-reviewed and those that are full-text by selecting these
options when searching topics. After selecting the “Articles” yellow tab and searching for your topic, click the
“Full Text” and “Peer Reviewed” boxes that appear in the left sidebar of your search results to filter only articles
that match this criteria and your selected search topic. Reading only an abstract is not sufficient for this
assignment; articles must be full-text.
After reading your selected article in full, write a summary paper that is two to three pages (not including your
cover page and reference page) in length and follows APA writing guidelines. The following should be included
in your summary paper:
What was the purpose for this study?
Identification of participant demographics.
For example, was the study made up of 20 college-aged students at a small liberal arts college or 500
participants referred by inpatient psychiatric hospitals?
What were the results of this study?
What other factors should be considered when making conclusions about the results?
Include a biblical perspective on the topic using relevant Scripture to support your viewpoint.
Include in the reference page a link to the journal article for easy access.
This paper should be two to three pages in length (in addition to a cover page and reference page) and should
meet the expectations outlined in the grading rubric. Please use Kail & Cavanaugh (2019) in addition to your
journal article for a reference (make sure to reference both on your reference page) and include relevant
Scripture references.
