Adult Development Theory

Research Article Analysis
In this assignment, you will critically evaluate research studies in the field of adult development. Each week, you will search the University Library databases, such as EBSCOhost and ProQuest, to find two peer-reviewed research journal articles (not more than five years old) related to the weekly topics. Other sources, such as the text (other than as supporting citations), Wikipedia, and other online sources will not be accepted. You will read and analyze both articles and create a synopsis.

In your synopsis, you will include:

A summary of each of the journal articles
The main points discussed in each of the journal articles and how they relate to the week’s course and text readings
Your thoughts and perspectives regarding the concepts covered in each of the journal articles
This week, choose one of the following topics for the article analysis assignment:

Gender or ethnicity related to adult development
Aging (early to middle age)
