You will be responsible for writing a Research Paper focusing on NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION. The focus of the paper will be to present and review peer-reviewed research regarding your topic as well as provide a Biblical integration discussion for your topic.
For your paper, you must thoroughly review and cite 2 peer-reviewed journal articles that demonstrate research regarding your topic. Your articles must present original research studies (e.g., correlational or experimental) in which the authors of the article actually formed hypotheses, collected/analyzed data, and compiled results themselves. Theoretical/review articles and meta-analyses are not permitted to be reviewed for this paper.
THESE ARTICLES:
Fatik Baran Mandal (2014) Nonverbal Communication in Humans, Journal of Human Behavior in the Social Environment, 24:4, 417-421, DOI: 10.1080/10911359.2013.831288
Tsfira Grebelsky-Lichtman, Children’s Verbal and Nonverbal Congruent and Incongruent Communication During Parent-Child Interactions, Human Communication Research, 40, 4, (415-441), (2014).
Keep in mind that these 2 articles must come from academic, peer-reviewed journals. Articles from newspapers, magazines, and websites will not count. Also, information from unpublished dissertations contained in dissertation or thesis databases should not be used. In addition to your 2 peer-reviewed articles, you must also cite the textbook in your paper. Other book sources will not count toward the source requirements. In the Biblical Integration section of your paper, you will be required to cite 2 different Scriptural references.
SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES:
Joshua 7:6-9 (ESV) “Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the lord until the evening, he and the elders of Israel.”
Proverbs 6:12-13 (ESV) “A worthless person, a wicked man, goes about with crooked speech, winks with his eyes, signals with his feet, points with his finger.”
. In addition, the paper should be written mostly in your own words. Excessive use of quotes is not permitted and will result in a score reduction. Be sure you are paraphrasing information from articles well and citing correctly to avoid plagiarism.
