Article: Person-First and Identity-First Language- Developing Psychologists' Cultural Competence Using Disability Language by Dana S. Dunn and Erin E. Andrews.
Paper Content
Your review should include two components, each accounting for about half of your overall paper. Be sure to pay attention to the rubric as a guideline for appropriateness and completeness. You will need to work on summarizing the key points while leaving out some details (since your whole paper is a max of 2 pages).
Summary of Article: Provide a brief summary outlining the major points of the article you read. This should include information about the background and rationale, how the research was done and with whom, the conceptual and measured variables, and the conclusions. You will want to include a summary of the following sections, listed below.
i. What information was presented in the Introduction explaining previous research and the motivation of the present study? What was the study hypothesis and/or the key aims? This should include a brief background related to the research question (e.g., why the question is important, what research has been done previously, what is missing from the literature).
ii. What were the Methods in general? Even if you do not understand some of them, try your best to summarize what they did in the study in your own words.
iii. What were the Results? It is ok not to discuss the statistics if they are complex, but you should summarize whether there were effects or differences between groups found, and what they were.
iv. What was concluded based on the results? Did the results support the hypothesis or address the key aims? What can be inferred about the topic from the study? Are there limitations? This will be covered in the Discussion or Conclusion sections of the paper
Analysis: Provide an analysis and discussion linking what you read to course content or to current issues and applications in developmental psychology or related fields. This is a creative section including your own interpretation, reflections, and take-home points. You should be thoughtful and analytical in your response. I will be looking for you to include interesting, relevant, and important points, while referencing back to the article or course concepts to support your ideas.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
i) The answer should be typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), double spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides.
ii) The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
iii) Also include a reference page. The Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
