Essentially, a summary of the introduction section and the discussion/conclusion section of the articles you found. Citations of the references should be included in each of the three summaries.
Now that you have researched how psychology relates to different aspects of life, the second part of the paper (2-3 Pages) will allow you to explore how you can use what you learned in psychology in your future life and how you have been affected by what you learned in this class. Citations of references must be included in this section as well. You may use the scholarly article references you used in the first part of the paper and/or the textbook.
A complete assignment will include three one-page scholarly article summaries and a 2-3-page reflection of how psychology affects your life and how you may be able to use it in the future. (5-6 total pages)
