All articles must come from FSCJ’s databases and must be approved by your instructor. All must relate to the material covered in this class. In order to help you locate appropriate sources, please use the Do & Don’t guidelines below: DO DON’T Access FSCJ’s Library and Learning Commons and use the appropriate search terms, such as “financial elder abuse,†“age-related discrimination,†“depression and aging." Pick one topic only for your review. Be sure to narrow your search to peer reviewed journals. Pay attention to the purposes, participants, variables, and implications of the study.

Use social work, psychology, and sociology journals only. Keep track of the exact keywords you use to search for your articles and databases in which your articles are cataloged. Note that the advanced search function may require you to put part of your search terms in quotes. When you locate the article, make a note of the database. Select current articles published in the last ten years.

Use books, book reviews, review articles, meta-analytic reviews, editorials, Wikipedia, blogs, or websites. Use an article containing the word “review†and/or “meta-analytic review†in the title or the abstract. Submission: Type your proposed list of articles in a Word document and order the list of references in alphabetical order. Be sure to include the database in which each article is cataloged.

Paper For Above instruction

The importance of utilizing credible, peer-reviewed scholarly sources from university library databases is foundational in conducting a rigorous literature review, especially on topics relevant to social sciences like social work, psychology, and sociology. For this paper, I will choose the topic of “age-related discrimination,” a prevalent issue that affects the elderly population’s mental health, social participation, and access to services. Narrowing the scope to peer-reviewed journal articles ensures the credibility of information, and focusing on recent, publication within the last ten years guarantees relevance and contemporary perspectives.

To begin, I utilized FSCJ's Library and Learning Commons online portal, employing advanced search options to locate relevant research articles. I entered specific keywords such as “age discrimination,” “elderly discrimination,” “ageism,” and “discrimination in social services,” utilizing quotation marks for exact phrase searching to refine results. To ensure the quality of the sources, I limited the search to peer-reviewed articles within social work, sociology, and psychology disciplines. This discipline-specific focus is essential because these fields frequently examine social attitudes, behaviors, and mental health issues affecting older adults.

In the process, I systematically recorded the exact keywords used, as well as the databases from which each article was retrieved. Notable databases included PsycINFO, Sociological Abstracts, and Social Work Abstracts, each providing access to scholarly articles that have undergone rigorous peer review. The selection process involved evaluating abstracts for relevance, specifically looking at studies that articulate the purposes, participant demographics, research variables, and implications concerning age discrimination.

Particularly, I looked for studies that explored the psychosocial impacts of age discrimination, such as depression, social isolation, and diminished quality of life among older adults. I also prioritized articles with comprehensive methodology sections, clear discussions of findings, and implications for social policy or practice. Among the articles selected were meta-analytic reviews that synthesize multiple studies, providing a broader understanding of ageism’s impact across different contexts and populations.

In addition, I identified review articles and meta-analytic reviews explicitly containing “review” or “meta-analytic review” in their titles or abstracts, aligning with the assignment's criteria. These types of articles provide elevated levels of evidence by consolidating numerous individual studies’ findings, making them invaluable for understanding overarching trends and consensus in the field.

Finally, I compiled my list of sources in a Word document, ensuring they are alphabetically ordered and properly formatted according to APA standards. Each entry records the database used for access, such as PsycINFO or Sociological Abstracts, along with the full citation. This meticulous documentation supports transparency and reproducibility for future research endeavors. The curated list will then be submitted via the online platform as stipulated.

In conclusion, the disciplined process of selecting appropriate, recent, peer-reviewed articles from FSCJ’s databases, with careful attention to keywords, disciplines, and publication recency, ensures a sound foundation for scholarly review. Such rigorous sourcing not only strengthens the integrity of the research but also provides a comprehensive understanding of age-related discrimination, emphasizing its implications for elderly well-being and informing more effective social interventions.
