PRINCIPLES OF INDUSTRIAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY

TOPIC: Analysis of Research II

In this course, we began to move toward the concept of the literature review, an important element of the dissertation process. As you have learned, synthesis is the process of creating a new idea by analyzing multiple disparate concepts or notions to discern the common thematic or connecting principles among them. Synthesis of research is a process learned through time and practice. 

PLEASE TAKE NOTE: In this assignment, you will continue to analyze research. Instead of approaching the research articles as individual entities, you should COMPARE, ANALYZE, EVALUATE, and SYNTHESIZE the information you are reading.

General Requirements:
