Responses to each paper assignment should not be based on your opinion but based on the information in your
textbook and peer-reviewed research. Each paper assignment should be 4 pages long, double-spaced, 12-point
Times New Roman Font and in APA Format (abstract is not necessary). Up to 10 additional points will be deducted from papers that are not in APA formatting and/or have grammatical errors that affect readability. In addition to any sources
that are provided within the paper assignment, for each assignment you will be responsible for finding three additional
peer-reviewed sources to help you develop and support your response. When writing your paper assignments, please
remember that your point of view should be informed and supported by peer-reviewed research. To receive credit for
your work please provide a reference page in APA format for all the sources you used in your paper assignment. The
reference page does not count toward the page requirement for paper assignments.
Throughout social media websites and apps, there are individuals who create content about various aspects of human
development such as physical health, nutrition, parenting, emotional wellbeing, and so much more. On Instagram, some popular examples are @takingcarababies, @biglittlefeelings, and @milestones.and.motherhood. Some of these
individuals are professionally qualified to discuss these topics; they earned degrees, licenses, and work in the field.
Others are not qualified and make claims based on personal experience and anecdotal evidence. For this paper
assignment, you will evaluate the content of three different social media influencers and compare and contrast what
they say about their topic and what the research says. To be successful on this assignment, do the following:
Find three social media influencers who create content about an aspect of human development. To be considered an
“influencer” they must have over 100,000 followers and post content to FaceBook, Instagram, or TikTok regularly. Make sure to provide their social media handle.
Evaluate each influencers content over the past two weeks. Provide links and/or screenshots of stories, captions, and
other content to use throughout your paper. Then answer the following questions:
What aspect of human development does this person post about?
Are they qualified in any way to post about this subject? If so, what makes them qualified?
Pick two specific posts over the past two weeks for each influencer and evaluate the accuracy of the information they
provided to their followers? Is it correct, is it complete? Use peer-reviewed research articles to help support your
evaluation.
