Directions: Please read the peer-reviewed research article (click on link below) and write a research brief (500-650 words). The research brief should be in paragraph format with each of the following headings in bold: What was the question; What was done; What was found; What does this study mean?. You should write your review in your own words without quotations or plagiarizing. At the end of your submission, you should have the APA citation of the article below. The rubric for how this will be graded is below as well. Be sure to review it before you complete your article review. I have also attached an example of what your submission could look like. The main areas where students miss points is on: plagiarizing, not citing the article in APA format at the end, and not understanding what the study means. Please always ask questions if you have any.
