Examine the literature
in your topic area and identify five articles published within the past five
years that investigate mediating, moderating, or independent variables in an
attempt to contribute to theory in the topic area. Write a paper in which for
each article, you:
1. Describes the theory the
researchers explore. What are the key constructs in the theory? How are they
related? Identify which ones are cause, effect, mediating, or moderating
constructs. How are the constructs operationalized?
2. Briefly describe the
study, including the number of participants and research methods.
3. Briefly describe the
statistical analyses used
4. Briefly described the
findings and how the researchers interpreted them and their contribution to
theory.
Using all five articles, argue for a gap in the knowledge in the
topic area and briefly describe a study involving mediator and or moderator
variables that can contribute to theory.
