STAGE THREE (35 points) – Submit Completed Annotated bibliography by SUNDAY Nov 15th. This will include: Introductory page, 6 annotations in APA format from your research, concluding page, and reference page in APA format. Introductory Page – (See above) Annotations – (peer-reviewed journal articles only) an annotation is used to summarize the research being reviewed. The way you make an annotation is to first start with a formal citation in APA format, followed by your summary. This can include, but is not limited to: summary of the findings, discussion of methodology used, summary/discussion of theoretical orientation, importance of the topic, etc. Essentially, what was the study about, how did they conduct the study, and what did they find? Each annotation must be a minimum of 200 words. Here is a sample annotation… Cast, A., & Bird, S. (2005). Participation in Household and Paid Labor: Effects on Perceptions of Role-Taking Ability. Social Psychology Quarterly 68(2): 143-159. This research looks at the effects of participation in household labor and paid labor on married couples perceptions that they can “role-take” with their spouse. Role-taking is defined as one’s ability to take on the perspective of others (in this case, their spouse’s perspective). This study directly relates to my research in that it examines the effects of wives’ paid labor contribution on marital relationships. While happiness specifically is not addressed, a broader conceptual model is provided that shows the changing dynamics of marriage as it relates to women in the workforce. In addition, egalitarian aspects of marriage are examined, which relates to my theoretical perspective on gender roles. This research is done using a sample of married couples taken from the marriage registration records of two communities in Washington. Three interview stages were set up that were comprised of the initial data collection, the couple’s first anniversary, and their third anniversary. Results show that there is an effect on married couples ability to role-take based on their participation level in household and paid labor. Women are more likely to believe they can role-take when their paid labor contribution is greater. Men however, do not perceive greater ability to role take when their household labor contribution is higher. For both men and women, being in a more egalitarian relationship corresponds to a higher level of perceived role-taking ability. It should be noted that perceived role-taking ability was measured by asking questions about understanding your spouse’s feelings/viewpoint.
