APA LITERATURE REVIEW PAPER
The APA Literature Review Paper is an important practicum in developing research and
writing capabilities within acceptable standards of the discipline of psychology. This practicum
is so important that you will see it discussed several times in this syllabus. The research paper
does not receive a letter grade [it is completed or not completed]. However, if a student does
not turn in a research paper depending on overall academic performance, it may lower the
final grade up to a maximum of one full letter grade. If a student turns in late research
paper depending on overall academic performance, it may lower the final grade up to a
maximum of one-half of a full letter grade. This also means superior research papers that
have [e.g.] more than thirteen pages in the literature review or more than ten scholarly
peer-reviewed paginated references will have a positive effect on the final grade in the
course. Accordingly, turning in a late paper or a partially completed paper is not
recommended but it is better than no paper at all. Learning how to write a literature review
is important because it demonstrates your ability to thoroughly identify and describe a subject
scientifically and it also contributes to your personal integration of the course material. The
Psychology Department feels so strongly about learning to research and write in APA
style that they have created a CSBS WRITING WIZARDS LAB that is dedicated to helping you
learn these skills. This means you can go in to the CSBS WRITING WIZARDS LAB to get help
with this assignment or go online to https://www.csun.edu/csbs/writing-wizards.
RESEARCH PAPER GUIDELINES
The APA Literature Review Paper can be on any topic in Motivational Psychology. The
instructor will allow students some latitude in choice of your paper topic. References for the
paper cannot be any of our required texts and all references must be paginated, scholarly
and peer-reviewed which generally means your references will be of three basic types: (a)
scholarly, peer reviewed journals; (b) a dissertation or a master’s thesis; or (c) a scientific book
written by an academic expert from a Tier 1 or Tier 2 level research university. Any other type
of source is not acceptable. Some examples of unacceptable sources are: non-academic
sources, unreliable or invalid sources such as Wikipedia, publications that are non-academic
such as online newspapers, online magazines, online blogs, online chat rooms or discussions
online, websites or any non-paginated source or reference. Academic citations should make it
clear where the reader can locate the quotation or source. In general, there should be at least
one literary citation for every page of written content. A superior paper for letter grades in
the “A” categories below will require three basic elements written in APA Style: [1] a TitleAPA LITERATURE REVIEW PAPER

Bias and primary source
Overview
History consists of humans who each have a unique combination of beliefs, assumptions, values, and biases. The stories we tell and the knowledge we create about the past cannot be separated from their authors. Thus, we should never accept a source at face value. But instead, we must be critical consumers of information. In this activity, you will analyze your primary sources for narratives and consider if any bias is represented.
Prompt
Use the provided Module Four Activity Template: Bias in Primary Sources Word Document to complete this activity. First, you will locate an additional primary source related to your historical event. Next, you will answer questions about your event and the primary source you identified in a previous module. You will then consider whether there is evidence of bias in these sources.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Conduct source analysis on two primary sources relevant to your historical event.
You will respond to specific questions about each source in the activity template.
Analyze the primary sources relevant to your historical event for the presence of bias.
What clues are present in your two sources that may indicate bias? Provide evidence of these clues from your sources. If you do not think there is bias, provide evidence to support your claim.
Compare how your historical event is represented in your primary sources.
Do the two sources tell the same story, or are contrasting perspectives represented? Provide evidence from your sources.
Guidelines for Submission
Submit the Module Four Activity Template: Bias in Primary Sources. Sources should be cited according to APA style. Consult the Shapiro Library APA Style Guide for more information on citations.

Research shows that about eighty percent of children of divorce adapt well and see no lasting negative effects on their grades, social adjustment, or mental health. These findings arrive from a variety of sources, including a twenty- year study done by psychologist Constance Ahrons, published as the book We’re Still Family. Developmental psychologist Mavis Hetherington’s work following 2,500 children of divorce also showed about eighty percent of the kids doing well, as did a 2012 meta-survey analyzing about 1,000 studies on childhood adjustment done over the last four decades, conducted by child development expert and Cambridge University professor Michael Lamb.

Historical Narrative
Overview
Each historical event was experienced, perceived, and remembered differently depending on the person, which means there are many competing narratives of a single event. In this activity, you will compare the narratives represented in each of your sources.
Prompt
Use the provided Module Four Activity Template: Historical Narratives Word Document to complete this activity. First, you will locate an additional secondary source related to your historical event. You will then compare the narratives about your historical event in each of your sources (two primary and two secondary). Finally, you will choose a narrative you believe has been the most influential in terms of what is known about your historical event.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Compare the narratives presented in your primary and secondary sources relevant to your historical event.
Apply the source analysis skills from the previous activity to help you compare the narratives about your historical event. Describe the stories told in each source about your historical event. Provide evidence from your sources to support your descriptions of the narratives. Consider the following questions:
How are the narratives in each source similar and/or different?
How has the story of your historical event and key figure or group (identified in the previous module) been told in the past and the present?
From which perspectives are the narratives told?
What was occurring in society at the time of the event, such as politics, the economy, and entertainment?
Describe one narrative that has significantly influenced the contemporary understanding of your historical event.
Select one narrative from the four you analyzed. Choose the narrative that you think has been the most influential in terms of what is known and unknown about your historical event. Explain why you chose this narrative and how it has impacted our current understanding of the event.
Explain how the chosen narrative helps you better understand your historical research question.
How does the narrative you chose expand, support, or challenge your research question?
Guidelines for Submission
Submit the Module Four Activity Template: Historical Narratives. Sources should be cited according to APA style. Consult the Shapiro Library APA Style Guide for more information on citations.
Write a 2000 word (hypothetical) policy brief on Sexually Transmitted Infections in Australia. In this policy brief you are to argue for at least two distinct public health activities to address the public health issue.
Write a 2000 word (hypothetical) policy brief on Sexually Transmitted Infections in Australia to influence policy makers, including government ministers, organisations outside of government such as Non-Government Organisations or professional associations for example. In this policy brief you are to argue for at least two distinct public health activities to address the public health issue.
Tasks
Provide an introduction to the policy brief which clearly and succinctly conveys the focus topic and scope of the brief and provides a clear ‘road map’ or summary of what follows. That is, the structure and ordering of your brief (here you can also explain your focus if you have decided to narrow down the location or population group – if this is the case please briefly identify and provide rationale).
Describe the public health issue using published appropriate and relevant sources as per below and identify why action is needed.
Discuss the activities that you have chosen providing clear arguments about likely effectiveness of the activities drawing on published peer-reviewed journal articles, academic textbooks or chapters of academic textbooks, or reports from authoritative sources, such as governments or reputable non-government organisations.
Evaluate the implications of the adoption of these activities for health equity and/or discuss what needs to be done to reduce inequity.
Identify the key actors who would be central to the activities you have chosen and why/ what do they need to do?
Provide key recommendations to be actioned which are clearly related to the activities chosen and argued in your policy brief.
Ensure you have a conclusion summing up main points
Guidance for A3
Write in paragraphs and only use bullet points for key recommendations if you wish to use them. Please note you do not have to use bullet points. We want to see your ability to mount argument and bullet points do not do this as well as clear well structured paragraphs.
There is no guidance on numbers of articles to use. You must use sufficient high-quality sources to support your arguments and claims. Looking at how this is done in the peer-reviewed literature itself in their introductions or in policy briefs you find online is a good starting point if you are unclear on what is sufficient.
Check your work for clarity and errors in spelling, punctuation or grammar. It can be helpful to have someone else read and give you feedback.
Carefully review the marking rubric and make sure you have attended to ALL the criteria and use the word limit in alignment with marks for each e.g. more words for 10 mark versus 5 mark criterion.
I have uploaded to sampled policy briefs and the marking guide.
