Does social media affect self esteem?

Description

You will have identified a topic relevant to social psychology, formulated a research question, and completed 6 written summaries of peer-reviewed studies on your topic. In this unit, you will bring all this information together to complete a literature review to address your target question.

The purpose of a literature review is to express to your reader the knowledge and ideas that have been established on a topic. Your literature review should describe the strengths and weaknesses in the literature on the topic you have chosen. The literature review must be defined by a guiding concept (e.g., your research question). The literature review is NOT just a descriptive list of the material available, or a regurgitation of the summaries written in your research so far.

A literature review must do these things:

Be organized around and related directly to your research question
Synthesize and organize results
Identify trends or findings
Identify areas of disagreement
Formulate questions that need further research
Remember a literature review is:

NOT simply a listing of the article summaries
You need to use your summaries to identify themes. Then, use these themes to organize a cohesive paper.
