Principles of industrial and organisational psychology

TOPIC: Analysis of Research II

In this course, we began to move toward the concept of the literature review, an important element of the dissertation process. As you have learned, synthesis is the process of creating a new idea by analyzing multiple disparate concepts or notions to discern the common thematic or connecting principles among them. Synthesis of research is a process learned through time and practice.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE: In this assignment, you will continue to analyze research. Instead of approaching the research articles as individual entities, you should COMPARE, ANALYZE, EVALUATE, and SYNTHESIZE the information you are reading.

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

· Review five journal articles found in Topics 4-6 of this course.

2. A written summary of the key concept(s) of the articles. Consider the following questions: Why were the studies done? What were the populations studied? What did the researcher(s) conclude? How are the research questions or findings similar/different? What other information about these studies do you believe is unique or important to recall? Are there specific statements made by the authors that you wish to retain? How might these articles compare with others you read? What new ideas can come out of the articles you are evaluating?

Annotated Bibliography Examples

Kenobi, O.W. (1977). Mos Eisley spaceport: A wretched hive of scum and villainy. Journal of Intergalactic Spaceports, 7, 42-50. doi: 4815162342

Kenobi presents a solid argument for the wretchedness of the Mos Eisley spaceport. His research is thorough, current, and his claims are well-supported. He examines the denizens of the spaceport, thoroughly documenting the caliber of their occupations and characters, setting up a firm argument for their inadequacy as galactic citizens. Based on a thorough review of the literature, an exhaustive survey of his sample population, and an analysis of the data using SPSS, he concludes that there is no spaceport more wretched than Mos Eisley. Based on other literature in the field, and the ample support provided by Kenobi in this article, the conclusions drawn here seem valid. Kenobi is a prolific researcher in this field, with 85 publications in peer-reviewed journals, and 5 texts published with well-regarded academic publishers. This article is published in the leading journal of spaceport research, indicating credibility for the article and an intended audience of other spaceport experts.

Skywalker, L. (1981). Dagobah: Swamp planet or treasury trove of secret knowledge? Journal of Jedi Studies, 77, 293-309. Retrieved from http://www.journalof jedistudies.org

Keep your annotation to about 150-200 words. Note the purpose of the article, the participants/subject of the study, the conclusions drawn by the author(s), and the validity of the conclusions. Evaluate the article: is it a credible source? Describe the credibility of the author – are there any biases? How well did the author support his or her assertions? Did they provide an adequate literature review? Were there any limitations?

Solo, H., & Organa, L. (1983). I am not a committee: Building a relationship during a galactic civil war. Journal of Interpersonal Attraction, 4, 77-90. doi: 934.1701.007

Annotated bibliographies are helpful tools for organizing and preparing for a research paper or project. Instead of reading articles and forgetting what you’ve read, you can have a convenient document full of helpful information about the articles you’ve read. In addition to helping you remember what you have read, an annotated bibliography can help you see the bigger picture of the literature you are reading. It can help you visualize the overall status of the topic, as well as where your unique question might fit in.
