What future research is needed to confirm or refute possibly unsubstantiated claims in the article?

cyberpsychology

You are required to write a 2000-word critique of a media article about a cyberpsychology topic, which must be supported by reference to relevant academic theory and literature, from the field of cyberpsychology and beyond. You should write in formal, academic language, as you would in a traditional academic essay.

You must choose one of the articles in the table below, and in your critique, you should take care to include:

– An introductory paragraph explaining what the article is about and what research study or studies, if any, it is based on.

– Careful, in-depth discussion of the accuracy of the points in the article.

o Backed up by reference to relevant academic research and theory.

– Critical evaluation of the research studies and theories you are citing in your critique.

– References to other studies relevant to the topic.

– A concluding paragraph summing up how well the media article represents what the scientific research has shown.

– A reference list, in APA format (this does not count towards the word limit)

You may also find it useful to consider, in the closing paragraphs your critique:

– Possible implications of the media article (are there any likely harms/benefits of the article being published, based on how well it does or does not represent what the academic literature suggests is true?)

– What future research is needed to confirm or refute possibly unsubstantiated claims in the article?

The module leader will upload lecture slides and video, and give tips and answer questions, during teaching weeks 9 and 12.

While you will pick an article about one particular issue/area of cyberpsychology for this assessment, each week’s session will provide you with opportunities to develop your knowledge of cyberpsychological theory and literature, and to practise your critical evaluation skills. All of this will contribute to your ability to produce a convincing critique for your assessment, so regular attendance at all the sessions is very important to help you get the best possible grade.

The learning outcomes that you should be aiming to achieve in this work are:

1) Demonstrate knowledge of key cyber-psychological theory.

2) Appraise and apply theory from a range of disciplines to explain human behaviour in the online world.

3) Critically evaluate the role of the Internet in human lives.

4) Present and articulate research findings effectively, concisely and professionally.

What are the criticisms of the theory?Examine the pyramid and reflect on your current situation. Are your motivations dictated by your current needs? Explain.

Employee Motivation

In 1943, psychologist Abraham Maslow wrote a paper, “A Theory of Human Motivation,” which explained how drive and motivation are correlated to the understanding of human needs and behavior. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a motivational theory that proposes that while people aim to meet their basic needs, they aspire to attain higher order needs in the form of a pyramid. This idea is shown in his presentation below:

Introduction

Write an Introduction paragraph. The introduction paragraph is the first paragraph of the paper and will be used to describe to the reader the intent of the paper explaining the main points covered in the paper. This intent should be understood prior to reading the remainder of the paper so the reader knows exactly what is being covered in the paper. The introduction is often written after the paper is completed. (Use as needed appropriate in-text citation and include the references in the Reference section)

Write the citation and annotation When writing your annotation, the complete citation should always come first, and the annotation follows.

 Racism:

You need to write a paragraph describing each of the 50 sources you use for your paper topic. The topic for this Annotated Bibliography is Racism (REQUIRED TO HAVE 50 SOURCES!)

The student will select a subject for the Annotated bibliography that should be relevant to this course “Deviant Behavior”. Topic has to be focused on some type of social deviance

This has to be a descriptive/ informative annotated bibliography based on a topic of your choice ( regarding a type of social deviance )

• Step 1:

Choose your sources Before writing your annotated bibliography, you must choose at least 50 sources. This involves doing research much like for any other project. Locate records to materials that may apply to your topic.

• Review the items Then review the actual items and choose those that provide a wide variety of perspectives on your topic. Article abstracts are helpful in this process.

• Write the citation and annotation When writing your annotation, the complete citation should always come first, and the annotation follows.

[You will want to include at least the following]

•
1. The purpose of the work

2. A summary of its content

3. Its relevance to the topic

Annotated bibliographies may be arranged alphabetically or chronologically,
