Synthesis of Scholarly Literature

Continue to add to your collection of scholarly sources relative to your topic of research interest. Synthesize or integrate the identified information by concepts/themes learned from the scholarly sources. For this assignment, use a total of 5 to 7 peer-reviewed research articles to develop an initial synthesis of the related literature. Within this synthesis, be sure to include the following:

Determine the commonalities among the research articles by group. For example, did the researchers use similar theoretical frameworks, sample participants, or methodologies (e.g., procedures, instruments) to collect data? How were the results similar?
Determine the differences among the research articles by group. For example, did the researchers use different theoretical frameworks, sample participants, or methodologies (e.g., procedures, instruments) to collect data? How were the results different?
Determine reoccurring concepts/themes in the overall findings and conclusions, and state whether any of these were indicated to be in need of further inquiry.
Support your assignment with at least five scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.
