Scholarly Sources for Gaming Addiction Presentation

The assignment requires students to create a reference list of at least 5 scholarly sources related to the topic 'The Impact of gaming addiction in children or adults'. The sources should be in APA format (6th edition) and include at least one article from a different country or culture, as well as an article related to policy. Students must also provide a summary of each article, highlighting the key findings and explaining why they consider each source credible.

Create a reference list of at least 5 scholarly sources that you will use in your
presentation. References should use APA format (6th edition).
For this part of the applied final project, you will use Google Scholar to:
 Locate 5 scholarly or credible sources on your chosen topic. My chosen topic is
The Impact of gaming addiction in children or adults.
 Locate at least 1 article that addresses your topic from the perspective of
a different country or culture
 Locate at least 1 article related to policy (i.e. what policies exist, are being
considered, or are needed to address your issue)
What is a scholarly or credible source? For your project, you should be relying on
sources that have credibility. Appropriate sources would be articles written by
experts in the field, articles found in peer-reviewed journals, published
documents from well-known research groups (e.g. Pew Research), and reports
published by government agencies (e.g. NIH, CDC). Inappropriate sources would
include popular websites (e.g. about.com, ehow.com, Wikipedia) or media outlets
(e.g. Fox, MSNBC, WSJ, NY Times, Forbes, etc.). These sources do not always
accurately report their findings and are sometimes prone to bias. If a website or
article fails to report the credentials of the author and does not provide citations
for the information contained in the article, chances are it is not a scholarly source
and therefore should not be used.
Submit a summary of each article using the worksheet that follows. In your own
words, identify the key findings of the article. Do not simply state what the article
was about (e.g. "This article talks about cyberbullying."). What specific information
did you learn from your source? (e.g. "Cyberbullying has become a popular means
of abuse among teenagers, affecting about half of all young people.") The purpose
of this summary is to prove that you have actually read and understood each of
your sources. Your summaries should be 2-3 paragraphs in length. Do NOT simply
copy and paste the abstract or any other part of your source.
The purpose of this assignment is to 1) ensure that you are using appropriate,
scholarly sources, and 2) to make sure you are on track for your final presentation
to the class.
Complete and save the worksheet as a document.
