What does Literature in Psychology say about the lack of resources for Mental Health for Urban Youth in low -income areas
Introduction
Your literature review should include a conceptually organized synthesis of the results of the review that clearly delineates what is known, what is not known, and what is controversial or questionable regarding your topic or area of practice. The process of finding, reviewing, and synthesizing literature and writing the literature review provides greater definition to the theoretical framework and gives you a strong foundation from which to work when developing your actual application or intervention.
A literature review relies on an abstracted outline that offers a classification and evaluation of what scholars and researchers have written on a topic and organized according to guiding concepts, topics, and subtopics. Typically, the subtopics refer to applications, practices, populations, practitioners, concepts, and theories pertinent to the main topic.
Your objective is to demonstrate your ability to recognize and organize significant and integral information, important themes, and categories related to search terms. The goal is to synthesize and evaluate that information and to develop a description of key points into a critical evaluation of the body of work pertinent to your topic. Abstracted outlines offer an overview of significant literature published on the identified topic.
Overview
Begin your review of the theoretical and research literature to support your concept paper project Chapters 1–5. Keep in mind that you will demonstrate, via a thorough review of the literature, what represents best practices in a practice or specialization in psychology.
At this point in the development of your literature review, you should be able to identify 16–25 sources that support the development of the abstracted outline.
Instructions
Create an abstracted outline of your Chapter 2 Literature Review for your concept paper project. Present one or two sentences for each main heading and subheading, explaining the key points to be covered under each section.
Format Example
Topic: LSQ
Chapter 2
Main heading section 1 (one- or two-sentence description)
• Subheading 1-1 (one-sentence description)
o Article 1 (APA reference citation)
o Article 2 (APA reference citation)
• Subheading 2-1 (one-sentence description)
o Article 3 (APA reference citation)
o Article 4 (APA reference citation)
o Article 5 (APA reference citation)
Main heading section 2 (one- or two-sentence description)
• Subheading 1-2 (one-sentence description)
o Article 6 (APA reference citation)
o Article 7 (APA reference citation)
Note: The number of main sections and subsections will depend on your topic and the quantity and quality of your literature search results.
This material should be cited in current APA style, and the outline should conclude with an APA-formatted reference list.
*Note:
1. Please use and follow the format example provided above.
2. I have added the Research Topic Template as there are key concepts in 1.1 and 1.2 that can be address throughout the research paper later, but for now it gives a general idea of what to add in the main heading section and/or subheading in the format example provided.
3. Literature Research Question (LSQ) – What does the literature in psychology tell us about the correlation between the prevalence of obesity in children with developmental disabilities and physical activities engagement?
4. I have provided the journal articles. Feel free to add other journal articles if necessary.
5. I have provided a format example below to use as reference.
