About this Guide

This assignment is intended to have you compare and contrast the writing style and information content between a popular press article and a peer reviewed primary research article that’s referencing a psychological phenomenon. The articles need to address the same area of interest (for example, depression and gender, love and crying, teenage norms and ostracism etc.), but do not have to necessarily be about the same exact experiment.
