students are individually responsible for writing a short literature review on the topic of Youth Suicide. This review must be a minimum of 1,500 words, including a title page, abstract, and reference page. APA formatted is required!
each student will pick from one of six sub-topics. After the sub-topic has been assigned, each student will write a literature review using three articles (all on the same sub-topic) posted on the course website. You may not use any other articles or sources. The sub-topics are as follows:

LGBT Youth and Suicide
Minority Youth and Suicide
Family Factors and Youth Suicide
Bullying and Youth Suicide
Youth Offenders/Homeless Youth and Suicide
Prevention of Youth Suicide

For this literature review, it is important for students to show their knowledge about the research topic.
This literature review is different from an annotated bibliography, which is a listing of articles with descriptions. A critical review is not a string of summaries, it is a synthesized review. In other words, students do not simply write a short review of each research study, but tie the research studies together into a “story” or “conversation.” Examples of literature reviews will be provided to you.

This process requires some insight and interpretation, not evaluation. Keep in mind that personal opinions are not included in a literature review.
Report what is relevant to your study and ignore what is not. This means you need to read the abstract, the introduction and conclusion of your articles. And, for long articles, focus on the parts that relate to your topic.

**At the end of the literature review, you will also need to write a two-paragraph summary of what you have learned about the topic from the three articles. This includes critique and reflection about the “story,” not the individual articles.**
Avoid long quotes in your review, and paraphrase whenever possible.
Maximum quotes = 2 short quotes (less than 40 words each).
Correct APA formatting is also required – double-spaced, 12 pt Times New Roman font, 1 inch margins all around, APA in-text citations and a reference page. Run spelling and grammar checks and double-check your APA formatting. Be sure to CITE your sources throughout the review.
Grading Rubric
Short Literature Reviews will be graded according to the following criteria:

Content and Development (Total points: 60)
Paper adequately synthesizes the key ideas and conclusions from the three articles and puts them in conversation with one another: 60 Points
Mechanics and Style (Total points: 40)
APA rules of spelling, grammar, usage, and punctuation are followed: 30 Points
Sentences are complete, clear, and concise, and the tone is appropriate to the content and assignment: 10 Points

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapters 5 and 6 in the textbook and the required articles for this week. Take the role of a psychological examiner administering a standardized test of intelligence to Johnny, an 8-year-old boy, as a part of a research project. Carefully review the ABS300: Week Two Assessment Scenario. (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. In your initial post, begin by describing your current understanding of the concept of intelligence. Based on your description of intelligence, evaluate Johnny’s response in comparison to the responses identified as correct in the standardization manual. Decide whether or not to score Johnny’s answer as correct or incorrect. Explain your rationale. Specify how scoring Johnny’s responses exactly by the manual might impact his true score on the intelligence measure. Analyze the “four seasons of the year” test item in terms of each of the following psychological measurement concepts: reliability, predictive validity, content validity, and cultural fairness. Evaluate the standards in the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct that address testing bias and the strategies for multicultural assessments discussed in the article by Horin, Hernandez & Donoso (2012) in light of the current scenario. Conclude your post by explaining how you would interpret the assessment results to Johnny and his parents.

ABS 300 Week Two Assessment-Based Scenario

You have been assigned to administer an intelligence to Johnny, an 8-year-old boy, as a part of a research project. There are no presenting concerns. Johnny’s parents describe him as a “normal, healthy boy”. His academic achievement is reportedly average for his grade level. Johnny lives with his parents and three siblings in a rural community which has a population of approximately 847 residents. His parents responded to an advertisement to participate in an educational study in exchange for $50 and a free report of the test results. While following the standard instructions, you ask Johnny the question, “What are the four seasons of the year?” Johnny answers, “Deer, duck, rabbit and squirrel.” The manual for the standardized test, indicates the following answers are correct, “Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall (or Autumn in place of Fall).” You decided to consult with a colleague about Johnny’s response. Your colleague is familiar with the community Johnny lives in and informs you that all schools in that county close the first day of the deer hunting season, and therefore his response is accurate given his cultural context. Based on that information, when Johnny and his parents return for the test interpretation meeting, you decide to conduct an informal testing of the limits. You ask Johnny if he can tell you “four different seasons of the year” to give him an opportunity to provide the answers identified as correct according to the test manual. He immediately replies, “Turkey, bear, quail and coon.” Assume Johnny’s social-cultural background led him to give several responses on the general knowledge portion of the test that were incorrect according to the scoring manual but were logical given the community context. Without any adjustments, you found that Johnny’s overall I.Q. score would fall within the Low Average range (1.5 standard deviations below the mean).
