Write the World’s Shortest Research Paper. Use the college library databases to find a scholarly journal article in the form of a research study (see note below) on a topic of your choice from any theory of personality covered in this class. You must search for full-text articles as you will need to download the article and attach it to your assignment. See Tips section below for instructions on finding an appropriate journal article.
To be clear, journal articles are journal-style scientific papers and focus on research by reporting the details of the research conducted by the author(s). Accordingly, these articles contain sections that coincide with the experimental process:  abstract, introduction, methods, results, and discussion.
Be sure that the article you find has these sections and that the study was published within the last 15 years.Here is a good example of what a journal article looks like: Journal Article Example. Please do not use a meta-analysis (or an article that focuses on reporting the findings of many studies).
Find an article that has its own subjects or participants (not a meta-analysis of other people’s work), to see how the researchers employed their own experimental design and/or survey/case study analysis.
The Paper
Once you find your article, write a 1000-1500 word paper in APA format, following these steps:     
Be sure the topic of the article directly relates to one of the theories in any chapter of the textbook. If the topic is not related, you cannotearn credit for this assignment. 
Carefully read the article. 
Write a 3-4 paragraph summary of the article. In the summary, describe:
a. the purpose of the study (5 pts)
b. the participants (5 pts)
c. how the research was conducted (methods) (15 pts)
d. the results (15 pts) in your own words. Be specific. Explain what you mean. 
Discuss how the results relate to the material you read in the textbook. (50 points)
Note: This should be more than one sentence and include more than “the authors discussed this topic in Chapter 9.” How do the findings of the study relate to the information in the textbook?
Include a relevant image or related videosomewhere in your posting. The image does not have to be from the article itself. Instructions for adding images to your posting, both written and video demo, are posted below. (5 points)
Include the full APA citation of the journal article at the end of your posting. Use this Scribbr APA citation tool to create your appropriately formatted citation (10 points)
Attach the journal article to your assignment. Please do not simply provide the link. Much of the time, links to scholarly studies in the college library databases do not work or require that I have to take multiple steps to access. Simply downloadthe article you are going to work with and then attach to your assignment.

For this assignment, review the text to discover more about the seven perspectives of psychology (neuroscience, evolutionary, behavior genetics, psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, and social-cultural).   
his is based on your interpretation of the academic material. Rely on your own words and your interpretation of the material for this assignment. Although direct quotes may be used, use them sparingly. Your instructor will want to know how you define the terms, perspectives, and ideas. Keep in mind that you still give credit to your source when paraphrasing the main ideas.
Describe each of these perspectives. Include a minimum of one peer-reviewed article or text reference for each perspective.
Select any two perspectives and identify similarities and conflicting viewpoints. How do these perspectives differ from the others? What are some common viewpoints in the perspectives? 
Select one of the following psychological disorders: substance use disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), major depressive, or generalized anxiety. Identify which perspective would be most beneficial in understanding and treating the disorder. Provide supporting evidence using critical thinking from the course content, readings, and academic peer-reviewed sources.

Description:
Regardless of the career( Case Management) you pursue or are currently pursuing, it is likely that securing the resource of friends and professional acquaintances will be as valuable as any other action you could take.
Part 1:
First, take some time to reflect on your career and/or future career( Case Management). If this includes more than one career path, focus on the one you are most concerned with in the long term. This might consist of working in a specific field, starting a business, or any other pursuit you are currently working on or plan to work on. The choice behind the pursuit you will focus on is a personal choice.
Write two pages on why this particular career and/or pursuit is your choice. Reflecting on the why behind your wish to achieve a goal will help make it feel more tangible. This reflection exercise should remind you of your motivation and will be a good thing to refer back to if your motivation ever gets low. The “why” behind a pursuit is oftentimes more important than the “how” of a pursuit. If you have a strong enough “why,” you will find the “how.”
Part 2:
For the second part of this assignment, list the types of people( Nurse Managers, Case management, Doctors,  Social workers in the community, Chaplains, etc), who could help you in your career and why those people would be good contacts to have. This list should be general, meaning you should list professions or names of positions within companies rather than specific names.
You should list general fields or positions like accountants, attorneys, marketing managers, CEOs, etc., rather than any specific names. Be sure to list at least five professions or types of people.
Part 3:
Next, consider which social media platforms you could use to make personal contacts that could help you in your pursuit, along with why and how you could use each. Ensure that the platform and your use of it line up with the specifics behind your chosen future goal.
Describe at least three different platforms you could use, along with why you would use it and how you would use it for each of the three.
Platform #
Why?
How?
Platform #
Why?
How?
Platform #
Why?
How?
Part 4:
Finally, put all of this together and take action. The next part of this assignment is where you can make a big difference in your grade as well as in your real-life pursuit of a goal!
Reach out through the avenue of social media and make contact with three people that you do not currently know. Describe who you contacted and why (you do not need to give their specific name). Explain how you went about contacting them. Contacting someone who works in the same field as you or the same field you intend to work in should be relatively easy as long as you take a professional approach. Speculate on how this new contact might be helpful to you in the future. If you are not currently using social media, then find someone that you know who has used social media to make connections. Ask them to describe how social media has helped them to network and write about how social media has helped them to network and make connections. Use at least 2 credible sources.
P.S. Please follow the guidelines as you write this paper.
1. Clearly describe the goal that you are focused on long term in a well-organized manner and why it is important to you while meeting the minimum length requirement.
2. Provided a description of at least five different types of people that could be helpful to you in the future and thoroughly explained why.
3. Provided a list of at least three social media platforms you could use to make personal contacts that could help you in your pursuit along with specifics on why and how you could use each platform.
4. Provide a thorough description of the people you contacted, how you went about it, and how these contacts might be beneficial to have in the future.
5. Paper, lists, and explanations were formatted correctly, but there were some errors.
6. Provided an APA formatted reference page with 2 sources, but there were several errors in format. Resources were not credible, but supported research.
Demonstrated effective usage of English grammar and mechanics. 0-2 errors in English grammar and mechanics observed.
