Writing Assignment 2 – Annotated Bibliography
An annotated bibliography is a paper in which you list and summarizes several sources on a specific topic. For this assignment you will read the attached 5 articles on Neuroticism. Within your paper you will list each of your five articles using a properly-formatted APA citation, and for each article you will provide a 150-250 word summary that outlines the following:
?The specific topic of the article
?The rationale for the research, i.e. why did the researchers do this (to test a theory, to fill in a gap, to replicate previous research, to advance a better therapeutic practice, etc.)
?A general description of the people who were studied in the research (e.g. age, sex, etc)
?A general description of the methods used
?A summary of the general conclusions drawn by the researchers
◦NOTE: You are not expected to summarize the statistical results; that goes beyond the level of an Intro Psych class
Your paper should begin with a title page (within the same document as the paper) listing your name, class section, professor’s name and the date, and the personality trait you chose to study. Then, on the next page you should begin the bibliography: list the APA citation for your first source, followed by your summary; then, proceed to the second, third, fourth, and fifth citations. A very generic sample paper is attached below, along with links to sources of further reading about annotated bibliographies.
The emphasis in this paper is demonstrating understanding of the material, as summarized in your own words. You may use direct quotes if they are very short and clearly cited within quotation marks, but you should not use longer block quotes.
The paper should be formatted as follows:
?The paper should be double-spaced, no more than 12 point font, preferably Times New Roman or Calibri. Do NOT use Courier font. Margins should be no more than 1.25 inches all around.
