Article Summary

To earn the points for this experience, you may write up to ten Article Summary Papers. Article summaries are submitted via the GEP PSY 2012 Webcourse and are NOT submitted to your instructor.

Each paper will be worth up to one (1) of your ten (10) points, depending on how carefully you follow the instructions and rubric below.

• Each paper needs to be between 800-1,000 words- no more and no less.
• You must also use 12-point Times New Roman font.
• You need to save your file as either Microsoft Word format or rich text format (.rtf) in order for the summary to be uploaded to Webcourses. It is your responsibility to ensure that your file is saved correctly and in the correct file format before the deadline. It is also your responsibility to ensure that you can successfully upload your article summary into the system prior to the deadline. Do not wait until the last minute to upload your article summaries in case you experience technical problems.
• Your paper will automatically be submitted to Turnitin upon submission, to determine how another author’s work was used in the assignment. Make sure you take notes while reading the selected article in your own words. Do not copy and paste directly from the selected article because matches to other authors’ works of 30% or more will result in an automatic zero (0) for the assignment.
• At the top of your summary, you must include your name, the name of the article you selected, the name of the journal that the article was taken from, name of the authors of the article, and your total word count. An example is below:
  • Student name
  • Name of article
  • Name of journal that the article was in
  • Authors names
  • Word count
• Your summary should not include any direct quotations from the article you selected. Put everything in your own words and do not summarize the abstract section of the article.
• You should summarize a recent research journal article from one of the American Psychological Association (APA) journals listed in the table below. Please note that you will receive a zero if your summary is on a paper that is not from one of the journals listed below and/or it is not clear from your title page whether you used one of these journals.

Remember! If you upload your file in any format that is not Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) or rich text format (.rtf) your paper will receive a zero. Also, you will receive deductions if you do not follow all of the instructions carefully (see grading rubric below).

Answer preview

Instead, some studies suggest spreading messages that do not emphasize race to adolescents from African Americana and Caribbean African ethnic backgrounds. The communication with the Black youth should focus more on hard work and its role in prevailing the barriers to discrimination. It will prevent the young Black population from indulging in strained strategies such as the John Henryism Active Coping to address the racial issue. African American and Caribbean African youth need to be resilient against any forms of prejudice and bias in society based on race and other factors. Nonetheless, the John Henryism Active Coping is not a psychologically healthy approach to managing the problem. It will not be a thriving, sustainable coping response to discrimination against the Black youth (American Psychological Association, 2022). This coping mechanism’s effectiveness in managing psychosocial stressors relating to discrimination requires an individual to engage in high coping efforts.
