you need to write journal reviews for two journal . they are
1)Gabrenya, W. K., Wang, Y. and Latan?, B. (1985) Social loafing on an optimizing task: Cross-cultural differences among Chinese and Americans. Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 16 (2), 223-242.
2)Miura, I.T., Okamoto, Y., Kim, C., Chang, C., Steere, M. and Fayol.M. (1994) Comparisons of children’s cognitive representation of number: China, France, Japan, Korea, Sweden, and the United States. International Journal of Behavioral Development, 17, (3), 401-411.
Each article will be outlined and evaluated in around 750 ? 1000 words (1500-1700 words in total). The ratio of outline to evaluation should be roughly 200 (outline) to 550 (evaluation).
The evaluation must be conducted with reference to the following key questions. ALL of these questions must be answered:
1. What are the most important and specific findings of the study?
2. What is the importance of the findings to psychological theory? How did they move psychological knowledge onwards?
3. Considering the methods used in the research what limitations are involved in the interpretation of findings? (e.g. what confounding variables could be present?, what weaknesses are there in the sampling and variable measurement? etc.)
You are NOT REQUIRED to describe the articles in general or in great detail so do not start your work with a long description of the study. The initial outline simply requires you to give the rationale at the heart of the study and the central design. In outlining the results you need to explain how these relate to the aims of the study, how or whether they contrast with previous findings and so on. Note that in the Cramer and Anderson article we are ONLY interested in the findings for ethnicity and NOT for body size.
You may of course go further than just these questions above if you wish but it is important to stick to critical evaluation and it is also important that, before going further, the questions above are thoroughly addressed. You might wish to look ahead at later literature in order to identify variables or factors that were not considered or controlled in the current study.
Marking Guidelines
An excellent answer will clearly and coherently explain what the findings have shown beyond previous literature (e.g. in the case of social loafing, will show how the taking of the standard (Western) social loafing experiment to other types of culture has revealed a new phenomenon explicable in terms of variables that differ across the cultures). It will clearly explain the relevance of the findings in terms of cultural variables. The concept of universalising psychology will be clarified and exemplified in terms of the study findings. Weaknesses and flaws will not be trivial or spurious but will be relevant and justified in terms of the study and, at best, in terms of later research developments.
