Write a Literature Review on four of the articles that will be uploaded, and one extra article from yourself!

The articles are about Risk and Rationality in Decision Making.

What to do:
• Introduce research question (what it is, why it is worth examining)
• Narrow research question to the studies discussed.
• Briefly outline the organization of the paper. For example, if there is a major controversy in this literature, briefly describe it and state

that you will present research supporting first one side, then the other.
• Define the terms you will be using
• Describe, Compare and Evaluate studies (or studies and theory)
Comparisons are essential. What do you compare? The possibilities include: research assumptions, research theories tested, hypotheses stated,

research designs used, variables selected (independent and dependent), equipment used, instructions given, results obtained, interpretation of

results, researcher speculations about future studies. Your job is to determine which factors are relevant. All studies have strengths and

weaknesses. Finding them will help you make meaningful comparisons.
• Discuss implications of studies (your judgment of what the studies show). Then recommend future studies (specify how future work would add to

that already done).
