Professional Associations in Psychology

For this assignment, you will examine the various associations in psychology as they relate to your interests in psychology. For example, if you are interested in Forensic Psychology you would research professional organizations or associations associated with Forensic Psychology.

For this assignment, you will choose two professional organizations.

Find two recent scholarly journal articles (within the last 2–3 years) related to the two fields of psychology for the professional organizations you have chosen.

Write a 2–3-page report on the professional organizations integrating information from the journal articles.

Using the South University Online Library database (ProQuest or EBSCOHOST) only, find six journal articles related to the topic chosen. (Your textbook, Wikipedia, or any other Web source will not be accepted for this assignment.) The journal articles have to be from a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal(s). The articles do not need to be empirical studies but are required to be from primary sources. Finally, due to the nature of the changing media landscape you should only use current research. Current research for our purposes is an article that was published within the last 5 to 6 years.
