Texas A&M University Binge Drinking in the US and Portugal Article Summary
Journal Article on Personality and Motives of Binge Drinking College Students
It is important to remember that though called “summaries,” these assignments are not intended for you to simply copy, or re-word, the author(s)’ work. They should be in your own words and evidence of your ability to synthesize information (i.e., find meaning). Each JAS should be typed in 12-pt. Times New Roman font, double-spaced, approximately 2-3 pages in length, and in APA (7th ed.) format. An example of APA style can be found here. Each JAS should contain the following elements, with appropriate section headings for each:
*introduction to the general topic of the article
*Content (e.g., descriptions of why/where/how the study was conducted; an emphasis should be on the results and the author(s)’ discussion)
*Personal Reaction (e.g., How did you feel about the article/study? What did you think?
