Summary of source three (1-2 paragraphs) – in this section you will summarize the information from your third article. Your summary should be detailed enough so that the reader has a good basic understanding of the article, even if they have not read it.

/in /by

The purpose of this assignment is to discover more about mental health topics /disorders. You will choose a topic to research, then find 3 sources to learn about the topic. One of the sources may be your book, and at least one of the other sources should be from a scholarly peer-reviewed psychology related journal. Your paper should be in APA format, so must include in-text citations and a full reference page.  You are NOT required to write an abstract for this paper.

This assignment is worth 75 points

Format your paper in the following way:

Introduction (1-2 paragraphs) – this is where you introduce your topic. If you have chosen to write about a mental health diagnosis, this is where you will describe the disorder, its symptoms, and its treatment. If you are writing about a mental health topic, such as how social media affects anxiety in teenagers, for example, you would provide a detailed summary of the topic. It is also appropriate to discuss why this topic is of interest to you in this section.

Summary of source one (1-2 paragraphs) – in this section you will summarize the information from your first article. Your summary should be detailed enough so that the reader has a good basic understanding of the article, even if they have not read it.

Summary of source two (1-2 paragraphs) – in this section you will summarize the information from your second article. Your summary should be detailed enough so that the reader has a good basic understanding of the article, even if they have not read it.

Summary of source three (1-2 paragraphs) – in this section you will summarize the information from your third article. Your summary should be detailed enough so that the reader has a good basic understanding of the article, even if they have not read it.

Synthesis / Discussion of results (2-3 paragraphs) – this is the longest section of the paper. In this section you will be synthesizing or combining the information you have gotten from all three of your sources. This section will likely include your comparing and contrasting the information from your sources. For example, source one might indicate that any amount of social media use contributes to anxiety in teens while source two states limited social media use does not have any impact on anxiety, and source three might report that social media use combined with parental monitoring prevents anxiety. In this example, you would discuss those seemingly different pieces of information.

Summary (1 paragraph) – in this section, you will wrap up your paper.

Group Influence

This assignment will give you experience observing and interacting with people outside of the classroom. It has been designed to provide you with the opportunity to develop skills, synthesize knowledge, and integrate learning in a real-world setting. This goal is accomplished by challenging you to physically attend and observe a group.

Note: Social and family events, religious services, classes, court proceedings, lectures, and sporting events are not acceptable events for the purpose of this assignment.

Purpose: To provide you with an opportunity to experience a group setting and analyze how the presence of others substantially influences the behaviors of its members through social facilitation.

Observe a group discussing a topic of interest, such as a focus group, a community public assembly, a department meeting at your workplace, or local support group.

Study how the group members interact and influence one another.

Analyze how the group behaviors and communication patterns influence social facilitation.

Integrate your findings with evidence-based literature from journal articles, the course text, and additional scholarly sources. The literature should be about group patterns, not about the content of the meeting.

Process: You will participate as a guest at an interest group meeting in your community to gather data for a qualitative research paper. Once you have located an interest group, contact stakeholders, and explain the purpose of your inquiry. After you receive permission to participate, you will schedule a date to attend the meeting; at which time you will observe the members and document the following for your analysis:

  • How were the people arranged in the physical environment (layout of room and seating arrangement)?
  • What is the composition of the group, in terms of number of people, age, sex, ethnicity, and so on?
  • What are the group’s purpose, mission, and goals?
  • What is the duration of the group (short- or long-term)? Explain.
  • Did the group structure its discussion around an agenda, program, or rules of order?
  • Describe the structure of the group. How is the group organized?
  • Who are the primary facilitators of the group?
  • What subject or issues did the group members examine during the meeting?
  • What types of information did members exchange in their group?
  • What were the group’s norms, roles, status hierarchy, or communication patterns?
  • What communication patterns illustrated if the group was unified or fragmented? Explain.
  • Did the members share a sense of identity with one another (characteristics of the group, similarities, interests, philosophy, and so on)?
  • Was there any indication that members might be vulnerable to groupthink? Why or why not?
  • In your opinion, how did the collective group behaviors influence individual attitudes and the group’s effectiveness? Provide your overall analysis.

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper incorporating your analysis with evidence to substantiate your conclusion.

Explain how your observations relate to research studies on norm formation, group norms, conformity, and/or social influence.

Integrate your findings with literature from the text, peer-reviewed journal articles, and other scholarly sources.

Format your paper according to APA guidelines.
