What This Document Is
This is an annotated bibliography completed by a student, Abigail Daletski, for PSYC 2350: Life-Span Human Development at Nova Southeastern University. It presents summaries and critical evaluations of two scholarly articles focusing on the impact of domestic violence during pregnancy.
Why This Document Matters
This assignment is intended for students enrolled in the course. It demonstrates a student’s ability to locate, summarize, and critically assess research relevant to prenatal development and the effects of adverse experiences on both mother and child. It’s likely used as part of a larger research project or to prepare for class discussions.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This is a single student’s work and represents one interpretation of the source materials. It does not substitute for reading the original articles or engaging with course lectures. It is a demonstration of skills, not a comprehensive review of the topic.
What This Document Provides
The bibliography includes annotations for:
* Gilliland & Verny (1999) – “The effects of domestic abuse on the unborn child.”
* Yanikkerem et al. (2006) – “Domestic violence during pregnancy in Turkey and responsibility of prenatal healthcare providers.”
Each annotation includes a brief summary of the article’s findings, a discussion of its strengths and weaknesses, and a connection to course material. This preview does *not* include the full text of the articles themselves, nor does it provide a complete analysis beyond what is presented in the student’s annotations.
