Diversity Class

Locate a cross-cultural research article in psychology that you will use for your Week 2 assignment. Make sure your selected research article has cultural and systemic variables that have deficiencies. You should also verify that the research article states its research question, research methods, research participants, research procedures, and intervention processes.

You may find it useful to use the following tips when searching for a research article:

• Use AND to combine keywords and phrases when searching the electronic databases for journal articles. To get the best results, use the word OR inside parentheses.
• For some topics, subject searching works better than keyword searching, which is usually the default. Find out if the database you are using has a "subject search" option. For example, in Academic OneFile, look for the Subject Guide Search, instead of using the large search box. This may bring up fewer results, but you will be searching with more precision.
• Use the results of a keyword search to discover subject headings (descriptors) used in the database. Usually, they will appear at the bottom of the article or somewhere in the citation. For example, by doing a keyword search for "girls and prostitution", you will discover that Academic OneFile uses subject terms such as "Cultural Diversity" and "Cross-Cultural Psychology."

Write a 175- to 350-word explanation of why you selected the article. Include the following:

• The proper APA citation for your chosen article: Be sure to include all required retrieval information (author(s), date of publication, title, journal name, etc.) and a link to the article.
• Why did you select this article?
• What culture or cultures were discussed in the article?
• What is being studied in the article?
• What is or will be the effect of the article on cultural awareness and diversity?
