Psychology is a contemporary science

Psychology is a contemporary science. Listed below are several recent papers. For the first part of this assignment, choose two papers to briefly summarize in a paragraph each, focusing on the contribution each makes to psychological knowledge in general.
The second part of the paper should be a discussion of the contributions and limitations of the field of psychology in our general knowledge. In addition, please discuss the follow;
• What can we expect to learn in the future?
• What are the possible problems we may face with psychology in the future?
There are several possible problems that may arise in the field of psychology in the future. Some of these include:

Limited access to mental health care: Many people, especially those in low-income or rural areas, may not have access to mental health care services due to a lack of availability or affordability. This can lead to a range of mental health problems that go unaddressed and can have serious consequences.

Stigma surrounding mental illness: Despite progress in recent years, there is still a significant amount of stigma surrounding mental illness, which can prevent people from seeking the help they need. This can be especially true for certain marginalized communities, such as people of color or the LGBTQ+ community.

The impact of technology on mental health: The increasing reliance on technology in our daily lives has the potential to both positively and negatively impact mental health. On the one hand, technology can provide access to helpful resources and support networks, but on the other hand, it can also contribute to feelings of social isolation and disconnection.

Lack of diversity in the field: The field of psychology has historically been dominated by a narrow range of perspectives and experiences, which can limit the effectiveness of treatments and interventions. Addressing issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion within the field will be important in order to better serve a diverse population.

Limited resources for research: Funding for psychological research can be limited, which can limit the scope and depth of research that is conducted. This can make it difficult to fully understand and address important psychological issues.

o What pieces were or were not part of it? (Randomization, study type, placebos, etc.)
For the second part, present a research project you would like to propose in approximately one page.
o How can it help us learn about basic principles of behavior?
o How can you use the scientific method to find and address possible problems in your research design?

Make sure to complete BOTH parts above and to complete both sections with the scientific method in a step by step application.
