Part 2:
Each of these scholarly journal
articles have many of the same concepts. The main argument of the first journal
article was that the consumption of alcohol of adolescents has negative effects
on neurocognitive alterations, as well as social and academic life. Their study
involves the assessment of performance on executive functioning tasks of
teenagers according to their pattern of alcohol consumption. Although the
second journal article covers the same topic, researchers study the amount of
alcohol consumption in a different way. The main argument of the second journal
article is the research of close friend drinking being more associated with
alcohol use than perceptions of typical college student drinking. For research
methods, they both used surveys and questionnaires to see if their hypotheses
were true to the results.

statistical analysis, references, strong claim, control subjects used
Rhetorical

professional
Organization/Structure:
Abstract, Introduction, 4 different headings
Intended/primary
audience: Scholars studying psychology and what causes the influence
of alcohol consumption among adolescents
Peripheral/secondary
audience(s): Other psychologists using this data to compare to their
tests
Research methods: Surveys of
college students, sources of scholarly articles
Scholar’s
argument: “We hypothesize that BD (binge drinking) adolescents will
perform worse than non-BD subjects in tasks that evaluate executive functions,
and these differences will increase depending on how long they have been
consuming alcohol.”
Citation for Article #2:
Keywords:
Alcohol expectancies, alcohol
use, consequences of alcohol use, college
students, perceived peer alcohol use, psychology, social drinking
Conventions: Jargon, data from surveys, other scholarly article
sources, survey questionnaires
Affordances: Headings
for each topic discussed, scholarly journal sources, factual evidence for data
shown, references, strong claim, descriptive statistics
Rhetorical
features?: Jargon, Logos

Organization/Structure:
Abstract, method used, results,
discussion, references
Intended/primary
audience: Scholars studying psychology and what causes the influence
of alcohol consumption among adolescents
Peripheral/secondary
audience(s): Other psychologists studying close friend drinking and
comparing it to typical recreational/social drinking of college students.
Research methods: Anonymous surveys
of college students, sources of scholarly articles
Scholar’s
argument: “the first aim said perceptions of close friend drinking (are)
more strongly associated with alcohol expediencies, alcohol use, and
consequences of alcohol use than perceptions of typical college student
drinking. The second aim focused on which alcohol expectancy domains partially
accounted for the association between close friend drinking, typical college
student drinking, and alcohol use and consequences.
The
most important part of these scholarly journals were where they were getting
their information from. Besides the surveys and tests that were created by
themselves, the researches needed to find evidence outside of their own
findings. It’s important to have scholarly articles supporting your results, so
you can support your claim. This is what creates ethos (credibility) for the
scholarly journal researchers.
