This will be an in-depth review of the literature found and must include APA 7 citations. This is the bulk of the paper.Limitations – After the literature review, you will discuss 3-4 limitations you believe should be addressed before the studies you discussed in the literature review are replicated for further analysis. You should address how you would tweak or fix these limitations before replication.Conclusion – You will wrap up your paper in this section. It will tie all the pieces together and the stance you took on your topic. No new information should be added here.References – You will have to add your references at the end of your paper using APA 7 format.

• **There should be no direct quotes from the literature you found, it must all be written in your own words, with citations and credit given to the authors**
• **Avoid using I/me language! For example “I think the researchers should change the data collection method”. Instead that would read as “The researchers should update their method of collecting data by doing xyz”.**

What Is The Topic?

The Topic is: Online therapy is just as great of a mode of therapy as In-person therapy is.

• The Point of this paper is to use the study provided below to support the hypothesis that online therapy is just as great of a tool as in-person therapy. Analyze the modes of data gathering used in the study to provide 3-4 limitations to the study (3-4 ways the study can be improved to get more accurate results if it were to be replicated again).

Other Information

• The Attached document titled In-Text APA 7 Citation Examples gives examples of how the in-text citations should be used throughout the Literature Review portion of the research paper. In the document they used “Faulkner-Guerstein (2017)” to demonstrate the example.
• The Attached document titled Reference Page Example demonstrates how the references portion of the research paper should be formatted. It should be its own page at the end of the paper. As you can see, there should be multiple references for this paper, so when the limitations portion of the paper is being written, make sure to reference other scholarly psychology articles of your choosing. As long as they support the limitation you are talking about and it is a scholarly article that is trust-worthy, it shouldn’t matter what these articles are. Just make sure you continue to use APA 7 to refer to them, and don’t forget to not use direct quotes or speak in me/I language.
• If you can, make a separate document that you can provide a list of the links to the other articles that you end up picking for the rest of the paper other than the study I provided.
• The Attached document titled Research Paper Rubric is a rubric that details everything for this research that will need to be included that I haven’t already mentioned. Please make sure you check that everything shown on the rubric is present in the paper.
• The last document is a pdf version of the study that will be used to form the rest of the research paper.
