peer relationships during childhood
The topic for this one is peer relationships during childhood. For example, this could involve friendship development, aggression, bullying, parents’ influence on peer relationships, popularity, or social skills, among others. You can pick ANY RESEARCH ARTICLE (that is from a peer reviewed journal) that deals with peer relationships during childhood.
STEP 1: Go to an academic search engine through the Montclair State University Library Website (I suggest using PsycInfo or ERIC). Look up a journal article that is available on this topic. This article should be in a PEER REVIEWED JOURNAL and should present original, empirical research. Read this journal article and take notes!
STEP 2: The next step is to write your reaction paper. Include ALL 6 of the following information:
(1) What were the main goals of the study?
The Role of Peer Relationships in Parental Bereavement during Childhood and Adolescence
(2) Who participated in the study? How many participants, what was their gender and racial breakdown, where did they live?
(3) How did the researchers conduct their study? For example, did they bring children and their parents into a laboratory? Did they survey teens in a classroom setting? Be specific.
(4) What were the main results of the study?
(5) What were the authors’ conclusions?
(6) Next, provide your opinion about the article. For example, did it answer questions that you had about your topic, do you think that the authors used appropriate methodology, and what do you think the authors could do to expand their research in the future? Finally, use APA style citations to include an appropriate citation for your journal article.
You should type up your paper using double-spaced 12-point font. Don’t forget the APA-style cover page and reference section!
STEP 3: Submit your paper! Please submit on Canvas!
