An annotated bibliography is an organizing tool that is helpful when working on a research project. For this assignment you will need to find 3 academic resources, I recommend you use three resources that you plan to utilize for your research paper. An effective annotated bibliography is used to compile research sources in one location and provide the researcher with quick access to the information contained in each source. I highly encourage you to pick a topic that you find interesting. There is nothing worse than researching and writing about something you find uninteresting. There are many different areas in the field of psychology, many that people don’t even think about. Such areas can include:
Drug Therapy on Disordered Behavior
Child and Adolescent psychology
Sport Psychology
Industrial and Organizational Psychology
Biological Psychology
Neurology
Cultural Diversity
Physiological Psychology
Psychology of Death and Dying
Human Sexuality
Positive Psychology
Psychology of Religion
Cognition and Emotion
Eating Disorders
LGBTQ+
Crisis and Trauma Counseling
Psychology of Addiction
Psychology of Chronic Illness
As you are writing your Annotated Bibliography be sure to include:
The Authors Intent Behind the Research
The Author’s Hypothesis
Information Regarding the Population/Sample Studied
The Research Methods
The Results of the Research – What did the researchers find? Was their hypothesis accepted or rejected?
Discussion of How the Research Results Improves the Scientific Community
and what you believe to be beneficial about this research.
I recommend that each annotated be about 1 – 2 pages, be sure it is in APA format with a title and references page, double spaced, in 12-point font, and in Times New Roman or Calibri font. Spelling and grammar count, be sure to review your work and make sure it is legible. If you are looking to improve your writing, have someone who has no familiarity with the concepts read your work and gauge their level of understanding. You know your job is complete when they understand the intent and purpose behind your work.
