Hello Class,
The following information was obtained after searching the Keiser Online Library for a peer-reviewed research article.
Article name: Learned social hopelessness: The role of explanatory style in predicting social support during adolescence
Authors’ last names: Ciarrochi and Heaven
Year of Publication: 2008
Journal title: Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry
Journal article type: original research – The Ciarrochi and Heaven (2008) article was original research because the authors described the research process they applied to collect and analyze data including the methods, results, and conclusions.
Lead Author: Ciarrochi
Secondary Author: Heaven
Abstract: The abstract was listed in the beginning of the article and included a brief description of the background, methods, results, and conclusions sections.
Introduction: There was no introduction section, but the first paragraph clearly explained the research topic, which was an investigation of pessimistic explanatory style and the negative impact it can have on hopelessness and depression.
Literature Review: The literature review section was not clearly stated, but the information was clearly visible as Ciarrochi and Heaven (2008) addressed “the importance of explanatory style and social support” (p. 1279), and other key concepts needed to provide a background of the research topic.
Methods: continue to develop the rest of the discussion using this format……
