There are two steps for this assignment.
First, you should redo assignment one, but with five NEW journal articles.
You are responsible for the following:
- Locate FIVE research articles that you will use for your research paper. One of the articles must explicitly consider the impact of a social stratifier (i.e., ethnicity, gender, sexuality, socioeconomic class). All articles must be published in one of the 15 sociological journals I have approved. Do NOT use articles that were published prior to 2005 or based on a non-U.S. sample unless you receive special permission from me.
- Once you have all five articles, provide an annotation for each article (see instructions below) and write one paragraph describing how the five articles you have fit together to describe mental health and illness among college students. To do this well, you will need to be able to articulate how each article independently fits into your paper and how each article complements the other articles to fit your paper.
- Your annotations should identify:
- the author(s)
- the author(s) institutional affiliations (i.e., where do the author(s) work?)
- the purpose of the study (i.e., what is the research question(s)?)
- the main themes of the literature review
- the theory
- the data
- the method of analysis
- the main findings
- research limitations listed by the author(s)
