relevant scholarly journal articles

DESCRIPTION:  Consider a theory that you found interesting this semester. This could be a theory that you found  to be a good explanation of human communication, or a theory that you found out-of-date or  problematic. First, review relevant literature regarding the theory.

Second, test the theory!  • In a 3-6 page paper, use scholarly, peer-review journal articles to review theoretical  literature.

You are expected to review a minimum of five theoretically-relevant scholarly journal articles (peer-review).  You are expect to follow APA style. If you are unfamiliar with APA please visit Purdue Owl’s  website for in-text and reference citations. EXAMPLE.

You are interest in understanding more about Expectancy Violations Theory (EVT). You begin  by reviewing literature on EVT, with emphasis on physical touch. Specifically, you discuss the  theoretical background, underpinnings, and experimental research. Next, you begin to test  occasions when you might get a positive response by unexpectedly asking strangers for hugs.

You test out your behavior in three locations: (1) the library, (2) the grocery store, and (3) an art  festival.

In addition you consider the culture of these various environments in your  discussion.   *Because EVT was use in an assignment, EVT is off limits for this assignment. COM 337 – Spring 2021 Online  FAQs  Q:

What do you mean by “scholarly, peer-review journal articles”?  A: These articles are peer-review journal articles. These are not from press organizations, such  as Wall Street Journal, NPR, Psychology Today, etc. These are definitely not from Wikipedia,  Reddit, or Buzzfeed (really, they’re not. Don’t do it.).  To find these articles, you can use google scholar, or the UB library (https://library.buffalo.edu/) .

How do I write in APA?  A: Please use Purdue Owl’s website to familiarize yourself with APA style

(https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/ge neral_format.html).  Some basics: Please use 1” margins on each side of your paper. Also, use black, 12 point Times  New Roman font.  You must cite all of your articles in-text, in APA style. For instance, you found some profind  information and wish to use it in your paper (Vorpahl, 2016).

Or, Vorpahl (2016) says something  profind that is super awesome. “Maybe it is even an awesome quote” (Vorpahl, 2016, p. 2).  In addition, a separate page should be added to the end of your paper as a Reference page. This  should be alphabetically organized and include a hanging indent.
