Students will choose a cross-cultural* research article from a Family Studies journal (only choose from Family Relations, Journal of Marriage and Family, or Journal of Comparative Family Studies) other than from what is already an assigned reading for this course. All these journals are available in the www.wmich.edu/library. Know how to use this resource.
Based on that article, students will complete the Comparative Research on Cross-Cultural Families Form below.

*Note: Cross-cultural research articles are papers that have participants who are from different cultural backgrounds, have a methodology part, and have results and discussion sections. Please take note that the article that you choose should be comparative, meaning it compares the samples or participants with culture as a factor.
