Assignment 3: Final Project Annotated Bibliography

  • Craft a research question on the topic you selected in your first discussion question post. (THE TOPIC I SELECTED WAS “DRIVING SAFETY AND TYPES OF DISTRACTIONS”). I WOULD LIKE TO EXAM WAYS TO INCORPORATE DRINKING AND DRIVING, OR TEXTING AND DRIVING IF POSSIBLE.

VERY IMPORTANT:

  •  All written assignments and responses should follow 6th edition APA rules for attributing sources.

  • This assignment involves a paper your research question, research hypothesis or hypotheses, and a detailed description of at least five articles from peer-reviewed journals that pertain to your research question. Please use a title page and format in a 6th edition APA manner. You may wish to consult the Doc Share for APA formatting examples.

Then locate at least five articles from peer-reviewed journals that pertain to your question that will be used to write the introduction section of your research proposal.

Submit these five citations in the form of an APA-style reference page.

Under each citation, write one paragraph summarizing the main points of the article.

As you read your articles, keep the following questions at hand; these will help you generate the information about each article.

  • What were the topic/research questions being investigated?

  • How was the study conducted (participants, materials, procedure, etc.)?

  • What did the results reveal?

  • How might these methodological considerations affect the research findings and the conclusions drawn from them?

  • How does this article fit in with your paper? How did it influence your own ideas about your paper?

Based on your reading of the literature, what do you expect to find? 

Include a hypothesis and a title page for your submission.
