APA Annotated Bibliography Format.
ANSWER
- Citation in APA Format: Start with a properly formatted APA citation for each source.
- Summary: Write a concise summary of the source, including the purpose, important information, conclusion, and logical implications.
Here is an example of how you might format your annotated bibliography:
1. Smith, J. A. (2020). The Impact of Social Media Use on Mental Health. Journal of Psychology, 45(3), 231-245.
- Purpose: The article examines the relationship between social media use and mental health outcomes, hypothesizing that excessive social media usage is associated with increased levels of anxiety and depression.
- Important Information: The study analyzed survey data from 1,000 participants and found a significant positive correlation between the time spent on social media platforms and self-reported symptoms of anxiety and depression. Notably, frequent comparison with others’ seemingly perfect lives on social media was identified as a key contributing factor.
- Conclusion: The hypothesis was supported as increased social media use was indeed associated with higher levels of anxiety and depression among participants.
- Logical Implications: These findings suggest that individuals, especially young adults, should be mindful of their social media usage and its potential impact on mental well-being. Further research is needed to explore strategies for mitigating these adverse effects.
2. Johnson, R. B. (2019). The Psychology of Decision-Making Under Uncertainty. Psychological Bulletin, 32(4), 567-581.
- Purpose: This article investigates the cognitive processes and psychological mechanisms underlying decision-making in uncertain situations.
- Important Information: The study conducted a series of experiments involving decision tasks with varying levels of uncertainty. It found that individuals rely on heuristics and biases when uncertain, often leading to suboptimal decisions.
- Conclusion: The hypothesis that cognitive biases and heuristics influence decision-making under uncertainty was supported.
- Logical Implications: Understanding the cognitive processes involved in decision-making under uncertainty can inform interventions and strategies to improve decision quality in contexts such as finance and healthcare.

QUESTION
Description
The annotated bibliography will be double spaced in a reasonable font (10-12 point), and include citations and references in APA style. References must be academically credible (i.e. peer reviewed) and examine either theoretical issues or report empirical data following a common theme (i.e., examining one psychological phenomenon with relevance to the modern world). The annotated bibliography should show understanding and thoughtful reflection on a topic that speaks to the mission and objectives of the course. Further, annotated bibliographies will be graded on the basis of content, clarity and overall quality of work. Students will be assessed in terms of their technology assignments with an appropriate grading scheme. For example, some combination of database experience and APA formatting.

The basic purpose is to cite the source and provide a brief summary written in a clear and concise manner.
Make sure that you have 5 peer reviewed references related to psychological phenomenon (therefore 5 – 10 summaries).
When writing your annotated bibliography consider the following questions:
1) What is the purpose of the article? This is the hypothesis or the testable prediction.
2) What is the most important information used to support the arguments (assertions)? This would be found in the results of the study. Just give the basic findings in your own words. Do not worry if you do not understand the stats or design, your job is to come up with the “gist” of the findings.
3) What is the conclusion? In other words was the hypothesis supported or not?
4) What are the logical implications of the results of the study? This is sometimes called the “significance” of the study
