In a two- to three-page essay, do the following: Select and read a recent journal article on a topic related to human sexuality from a peer reviewed research journal (2010–present). Make sure that you use an empirical journal article, not a review article. You know an article is an empirical article if it collects data and then presents the results (e.g. it has Methods and Results sections). Some good journals to choose from include: The Journal of Sex Research, Developmental Psychology, Archives of Sexual Behavior, Annual Review of Sex Research, Sex Roles, Current Sociology, American Psychologist All of the above journals should be available electronically through the library—if you need help accessing them, you can go to the College of Education’s Library Research Guide. If you are still having difficulty, please message your instructor. List the APA citation of the article at the top of your paper. Instructions for creating an APA citation are on page 198–200 of the APA Publication Manual. If you are not familiar with how to cite in APA format, you can find directions through the library’s website. Then critically evaluate this article, with an emphasis on the challenges of studying sexual behavior (chapter 3). Use the questions listed below as a guide. You should be sure to address all three of the following categories: Category Questions 1 Study Sample Describe and evaluate the sample. Is there any reason to be concerned about sampling bias? Are the findings generalizable to other populations? 2 Study Procedure Are there any risks that you can think of to the participants for being involved in the study? Describe the method. What types of measures were used? Do you think these are valid and reliable measures? 3 Study Results What were the overall findings? Were you surprised by any of them? Is this work relevant and important? Are there any cross-cultural implications? After reading the article do you think there would be ways to improve the study? Requirements Your paper should be written in size 12 Times New Roman font and double spaced in a Word document only; be at least 2 full pages long; not have a cover page or heading (your name, date, etc.); include the citation at the top of the paper in APA format; not include direct quotes (I am interested in your thoughts about this research article, so interpret and summarize the article, do not just quote it); and be your original work.
