Annotated Bibliographies[1]
An
annotated bibliography is a Works Cited page that includes an
annotation—a
brief (150+ words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph. Annotations
inform
readers of the relevance and quality of cited sources.
1)

entry in MLA format.
2)

details, statistics, and conclusions.
3)
Include one or
more sentences on any of the following:
a)
evaluate the
authority or background of the author
b)
comment
on the intended audience
c)
compare
or contrast this work with another you have cited
d)
explain
how this work illuminates your bibliography topic.
The
authors, researchers at the
Rand Corporation and Brown University, use data from the National
Longitudinal
Surveys of Young Women and Young Men to
test their hypothesis that
nonfamily living by young adults alters their attitudes, values, plans,
and
expectations, moving them away from their belief in traditional sex
roles. They
find their hypothesis strongly supported in young females, while the
effects
were fewer in studies of young males. Increasing
the time away from parents before marrying
increased individualism, self-sufficiency, and changes in attitudes
about families.
In
contrast, an earlier
study by Williams cited below shows no significant gender differences
in sex
role attitudes as a result of nonfamily living. The
article is aimed primarily at
sociologists; however the language and material are explained to make
it
accessible to those without a deep background in sociology.
