Choose a topic and include the following in your infographic or fact sheet:
10 facts from 2 peer-reviewed empirical journal articles
two peer-reviewed empirical publications
These can be found on the library database or via google scholar.
You may cite course material, but it does not count as one of your two peer-reviewed sources. Instead, it can be used for defining concepts or as a starting point or guide for locating scientific articles on your topic.
All in-text citations and references must use APA format.
Information may be a combination of:
Prevalence statistics of the topic/demographic fact.
Facts about antecedents and consequences (e.g., causes and effects) of a topic.
Explanations of how relationship processes work (e.g., mechanisms that play a role in love).
Applied facts about how to facilitate or prevent the topic (e.g., relationship advice based on peer-reviewed research articles), etc.
Assignments should fit onto one page (front and back if needed) and can be single spaced, but should be aesthetically pleasing to a lay audience.
Font and text size can vary, but it should be readable.
Helpful Information to Know
You may produce (or reproduce with careful citation) graphs/pie charts.
A chart can count as an outside source if it is from a peer-reviewed source and is discussed in text.
Graphs and pie charts should also be explained in the text of the document.
You must include a full APA-formatted bibliography of the peer-reviewed publications you cite.
Topics must be relevant to relationships (e.g., long-distance relationships, marginalized couples, relationships and technology, love, adolescent friendships, etc.), but need not have been covered in class (e.g., polyamory, children out of “wedlock,” interfaith marriages, the effects of in-laws on relationships/how to handle in-laws, remarriage and step-families, etc.).
