Discussion - Review Evaluating and Comparing Empirical

Discussion

Review this week’s Learning Resources to better understand the process of critically reviewing academic literature.

• Review Evaluating and Comparing Empirical Literaturedocument, found in this week’s Learning Resources, to guide you in the Discussion.
• Search two databases (e.g., PsycInfo, Thoreau, Science Direct, Taylor & Francis) located within the Walden Library.
• Identify and select two peer-reviewed articles about the same forensic psychology topic. (For example, look for two articles about false confessions, psychopathy, treatment for domestic violence victims, etc.) 
  Note: Websites like Wikipedia and WebMD do not meet the criteria for being scholarly sources.

BY DAY 3

Post the following:

• Brief review of each of the articles you selected, including the major findings of each and the relevant citations and URL links
• Description of the ways in which the findings of each article are similar or different
• Explanation for why you think the findings of each article are similar or different given the topic is the same

Note: Your posts should be substantial (2–4 paragraphs), supported with scholarly evidence from your research and/or the Learning Resources, and properly cited using APA style. Personal anecdotes are acceptable within meaningful responses but cannot stand alone as a response.

Read your colleagues’ postings.
