Appendix
Instruction Example
Step
One
Begin with a general topic. Biological Psychology
Step
Two
Narrow your general topic by
selecting a topic from one chapter
title in our textbook.
Chapter 11: Emotional Behavior
Step
Three
Read that section in the textbook
to gain a general understanding.
Stress and health
Step
Four
Ask a research question to begin
your investigation.
How does stress, anxiety, or emotional tension effect ones overall health?
Step
Five
Begin your search to determine
what has been discovered on your
topic. This will be a preliminary
look at the topic. Feel free to flag
articles that look like they may be
helpful but don’t be in a hurry to
create a final list.
Research Tips:
1. Make a list of key words from the section of our textbook
pertaining to your topic to use as search terms. List at least 5 key
words here.
- Stress
- HPA Axis
- Psychoimmunology
- Adrenocorticotropic Hormone
- General Adaption Syndrome
2. Type your research question in the Google Scholar search box to
locate related articles. Within Google Scholar you can then look at
the “Cited By” articles as well as the “Related Articles.” Type
your research question or search phrase here.
------ How Does Stress Effect Health
3. In the JFL search engine you can specify the date range, the type of
5
article, etc.
------ Scholarly Article, Date range: 2019-2024, peer-reviewed
Step Six Based on what you find in the
literature, formulate a preliminary
purpose/thesis statement.
Your thesis statement should:
1. Answer your research
question by identifying
your topic,
2. State your position, and
3. Provide evidence to support
your position.
This purpose statement will likely
need to be adjusted/refined as
you work on your final paper.
The presence of stress within ones life can take a critical toll on the physical
aspect of the human body.
Step
Seven
Finalize your research process by
choosing at least 8 articles from
the JF Library. All 8 must be
from peer-reviewed journals
published within the past 5 years.
At least 6 of the 8 should
describe original research. Each
article must support your research
question and purpose statement.
How to identify “original
research”
Sample article list:
Replace the articles listed below with APA formatted reference citations for
your selected articles.
