Title

The author of the article has used an interrogative title which means that the title of the research paper is the research question. A good title is essential as it captures the attention of readers and is likely to increase readership. The type of title used in this article is not inclusive enough because details or finding of the study is not presented. I, therefore, feel that the title did not adequately provide information about the study (Marcus et al., 2012). The author could have alternatively used a declarative title as it gives a summary of the actual research as well as the results which is likely to increase the number of readers. It will be challenging to retrieve such an article from an indexing system because of the lack of uniqueness of words. A declarative title would have been more suitable as it contains words that are less contain hence the ease of finding it in search engines. Such a title would be ideal for casual readers, but if the author wants to maintain suspense throughout the paper, then descriptive titles are suitable. A descriptive title gives enough information about the study but not about the results. The title, however, did not contain words that were not necessary.

Abstract

An abstract communicates essential information contained in any document in the summary form and covers areas such as research study, methods, scope, results, conclusions and recommendation. Readers decide whether to continue to read a document or not depending on how well the abstract is written. In this research, the abstract is informational as it covers all these areas. The independent variable is the factor that is being tested while the dependent variable depends on the independent variable. The independent and dependent variable of the study is not specified in the abstract. The primary findings were mentioned in the abstract which includes the feeling of powerlessness and being lonely alienated and not having connections with others(Marcus et al., 2012). The abstract provided adequate information for a reader to decide whether the research was relevant to him/her because it summarized all main areas. The study is descriptive, and the researcher cannot control the variables. Such a study aims to present the situation just the way it is. In this study, the results are based on the response of the audience about what they believe affects mental health.

The Introduction

The problem was clearly defined, and the problem was significant enough to be investigated. In a particular year at least 25 percent of young adults experienced mental health problems(Marcus et al., 2012).  It was therefore significant to investigate the cause and come up with recommendations for the problem since those who are affected shy away from seeking help. The introduction section clearly defines the problem that is being investigated and all necessary facts.  The problem was deduced from social theories of mental health. The rate of young adults with mental health issues has been increasing, but they are not willing to share and get the necessary support from those around them. That is the reason why I believe the problem was significant enough to establish the causes of mental distress, the effects and how they can be dealt with.

Literature Review

The literature review section is very crucial in every research as it presents prior literature on the research carried out systematically and thoroughly. The part should portray a clear understanding of the study topic address the shortcomings that exist and that you look forward to addressing (Maier 2013, p. 3). The literature review logically leads to the methods of data collection, so the transition between the two sections was well thought about. The hypothesis and research questions are however not stated clearly, and findings cannot be anticipated from the literature presented
