The Initial Literature Review must be a one page summary of 2 quantitative articles on the topic of your choosing, but related to the course’s general topic: Intimate Relationships. Make sure that the articles are on the same topic and explore different aspects of the topic. For example, communicationin a dyadic relationship explored using different methodologies. Review articles cannot be used given that they constitute secondary sources of information: you must use primary sources only. Qualitative articles cannot be used. Undergrad-uate or graduate theses also do not qualify because they are not peer-reviewed,despite being primary sources. Note that you will lose marks and may have toredo the assignment (if permission is granted) if you use any of the unapprovedsources for the completion of the assignment. Marking TemplateYour initial proposal should cover the following points and should be roughly1 page in length (not including the reference section on a separate page). You can complete the assignment using single-spacing or double-spacing given that APA style formatting will not be enforced on this draft:
1. Topic chosen (2 points)
2. Summary of article 1 (5 points)
3. Summary of article 2 (5 points)
4. Relevance of articles to the topic (3 points)
5. References (1 points)I have provided a file with notes on the course to help with the choice of topic.
