Articles for the Week 3 and Week 6 Assignments

Each of the assigned articles for the Weeks 3 and 6 assignments are downloadable in our course newsletter linked in the announcement from July 9, 2022. You will need to search the library for the formal hyperlinks necessary for the accurate APA style references that you will create for each article for the reference list, with the exception of the Kiebler and Steward (2021) article which is only available via the download provided in the course newsletter. For that article, you will include the DOI number, but not a hyperlink.

We suggest you read the “sample” article first and then look at how we “dissected” it in the template provided in the assignment area. Then, please read each article below to find the content required for the research matrix template.
