Socioeconomic Factors: Literature Review

The research and application of psychology is influenced by external factors, such as what we discussed in the previous assignment regarding multiculturalism. Other issues that impact psychology are socioeconomic factors including such things as poverty, access to health care, education, and living conditions/quality of life. For this assignment, you will review three scholarly journal articles related to your interests in psychology ( why people act the way they do) and relevant to socioeconomic factors as described by (but not limited to) the examples above. The scholarly journal articles will be within the last 2–3 years. Search the South University Online Library databases. Other sources, such as textbooks, Wikipedia, and other online sources will not be accepted. Read and analyze each of the articles and create a synopsis.

In your synopsis, make sure to include: A summary of each of the journal articles. Your thoughts and perspectives regarding the concepts covered in each of the journal articles.
