Question 3. Explain how the sample was selected.
Question 4. Identify the data collection instrumentation used and its psychometric properties.
Question 5. Indicate the research findings, their strength, and direction.
Question 6. Explain the study's limitations.
Question 7. Include an analysis that determines whether the methods used (quantitative or qualitative) were appropriate for the topic under investigation.
Question 8. Include your assessment of the study design and explain how these findings fit within the area of interest.
Question 9. Provide the reference for each article in correct APA format at the end of your paper.
Then, add a paragraph that examines how these articles collectively address the following core values of community psychology:
1. Individual well-being
2. Sense of community
3. Social justice
4. Citizen participation
5. Collaboration and community strengths
6. Respect for human diversity (Starnes, 2004).
