They use them to screen articles quickly, while gathering sources for their own projects. They use them to evaluate the strength of the paper, the generalization of its findings, and the overall argument of its author. In a literature review, a strong Abstract Includes the following pieces of Information: 1. Your research topic; 2. Your research/focal question; 3. Your hypothesis (what did you guess the answer to the research/focal question would be prior to beginning your research? ; 4. A general statement or two about the fillings discussed in the articles you’ve reviewed; 5. Your conclusions; 6. Some Implications of the findings you’ve described (What do they mean to us or to society? L; and 7. What future research needs to be done? In the Module 4 Discussion area, post a draft of what will be your Abstract. The post through #5). Post your Abstract to the Discussion Area by Saturday, May 10, 2014. Review and respond to at least two your classmates’ posts through Wednesday, May 14, 2014.
Share your perspectives on their Abstracts and offer your interest and experience with their topics. Review your classmates’ feedback to you regarding your own Abstract and use that feedback to refine it to include in your literature review draft and/or final paper.

Don’t let writing the abstract become harder than it should be. After all, you have read many abstracts as you search for studies to use in your own project.
Think about how you use abstracts. Usually, we use abstracts to decide whether or not we should locate the full-text version of the article to read more thoroughly. Thinking about how people use abstracts should help you realize what types of information should go in your abstract. Imagine yourself as a student or professor who is trying to see to make this decision? Abstract What is the heritability of parent abuse? By reviewing existing studies, several data view articles and incorporating personal experience this article will explore this question.
I expect this review of existing material to establish possible relationships between genetic conditions (such as ADD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and other conduct disorders) that will then require further investigation. Data is scant regarding the issue of parent abuse, in general, let alone with specific regard to the influence of heritable psychopathology. A great deal of credence has been given to environment (being the victim of parental aggression, witnessing violence between arenas, etc. ) as the cause of adolescents becoming abusive with their parents. More specifically, it tends to be teenage boys abusing their mothers.
Studying the psychopathology of abusive children has even fewer contributions and is often dismissed out right as a proximal cause. There is, however, research which considers heritability and violent behavior in adolescents, as well as data gathered through the court system. While this review does not extrapolate what portion of parent abuse cases can be attributed to heritable conditions, it does make connections between unrealized research regarding violence and the probability that certain inherited conduct predisposes adolescents to act out violently toward their parents.
This is significant because current models tend to blame the parenting (likely the mother). Looking at heritability and genetic predispositions to behaviors not only shifts blame and shame off the parent, but offers the potential for pharmacological/psychological interventions to circumvent the abuse in the first place. Many layers of additional research are necessary to fully vet this hypothesis. Several empirical studies of small roofs of families need to be evaluated when the oldest child is as young as seven through puberty and into adulthood (age 18) of the youngest member.
Each member of the study would be evaluated, based on the most current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, for any psychological disorders. Participants would also be evaluated as to the level and type of violence to which they are exposed of the period of time they participate in the study. Methodology would be consistent across all groups including, but not limited to: definition of “parent abuse,” questionnaires Completed small group studies would then be gathered and statistically normalized to create a better understanding of the true origins of parent abuse.
