COVID-19 Assignment: Article Critique
Instructions
A new strain of the coronavirus disease was detected in 2019, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). This viral strain, also known as COVID-19, had never been found in humans before. As the virus quickly spread across the globe, it caused a worldwide epidemic, claiming the lives of countless people, including thousands in the United States.
Several countries’ authorities supported social distance, an infection management method aimed at reducing the spread of a contagious disease, in an effort to contain the virus. Leaders in the United States also issued this directive. There were two schools of thought that formed. Many people were doubtful about the pandemic’s legitimacy because of puzzling and frequently contradictory information spread over social media and other outlets. As a result, a large number of Americans went about their everyday lives and social activities as usual. Thousands of others, on the other hand, promptly retreated to their homes, heeding the advice of some of the country’s finest infectious disease experts.
This assignment gives you the chance to examine a real-world, peer-reviewed psychology journal article that covers research on motivation and emotion from a social psychology perspective. After that, you’ll demonstrate your comprehension of the paper by linking the research and results to contemporary events.
Begin by searching the CSU Online Library for a journal article that examines motivation and emotion through the lens of social psychology. The article must be peer-reviewed and no more than seven years old.
NOTE: You do not need to discover a COVID-19-related paper; instead, you must select a peer-reviewed journal article that focuses on motivation and emotion research. After that, you’ll be criticizing the paper and framing the findings and conclusions offered in it in terms of how they may be applied to behavior and social psychology in the setting of a pandemic like COVID-19.
The PsycARTICLES database or the Academic Search Ultimate database are useful places to start your search. These databases are available through the Databases box on the library’s webpage.
You might find the following instruction How to Find Journal Articles helpful in locating your article. You might also find this guide on How to Search in PsycARTICLES helpful.
After you’ve decided on an article regarding motivation, emotion, or social psychology, you’ll compose an article review that covers the following points.
Explain how the study’s research technique was used.
Examine the social forces that cause individuals or groups to follow the activities of others.
Indicate how the presence of others affects one’s behavior and motivation. (How does COVID-19 fit with this?)
Identify the brain structures that are engaged in emotion and motivation. (How could fear-related emotions impact a person’s conduct during a pandemic?)
Examine the article’s applicability to a variety of psychology fields.
Why do some people opt to ignore commands to avoid social contact while others let their yearning for human interaction drive them?
In addition, your article critique should clearly state the article’s thesis and provide an in-depth analysis with solid arguments and proof. You should express your own well-informed and well-supported viewpoint on the substance of the article and its relevance to social psychology during the COVID-19 pandemic. You should utilize the textbook as a secondary source to augment any information not included in the journal article and to support your interpretation.
The length of your article critique must be at least three pages, excluding the title and reference pages. All sources must be properly referenced. Your article critique must be prepared in APA style, including all references.
