For this assignment, you will turn in the first draft of your research paper on the potential causes leading up to the effect of mental health in children. This draft should be at least four pages in length not counting the title page and reference page. You will need to incorporate your research up to this point along with your thesis (Determining factors that are a major aspect in a child’s life that could potentially lead to mental illness and mental disorders such as abandonment, abuse or neglect from someone in the child’s life) from Unit III. Within this part of your research paper, you will need to address the following information surrounding your topic: correlate the connection between affective content and how we perceive others, validate how affective content can affect daily interactions, explain the effect of research on the theory of reasoned action and the theory of planned behavior, and summarize how current attitude research can be applied to a current topic in society. Your paper must follow APA guidelines. Your research paper must contain at least three peer-reviewed articles.
