Influencing Factors in Deciding to Undergo a Cosmetic surgery

Instructions

List of summaries of particular articles is an annotated bibliography. A literature review combines these together in a novel way. You make connections between some of the readings: 3-4 might deal with one particular aspect of your topic, and so you can combine these summaries into one, and deal with them together. Another couple of articles might deal with another aspect of your topic, and you deal with these together as well.

The main thing about your literature review that you need to keep in mind is that you are telling a story, and structuring your articles in a particular way. Instead of just one summary, followed by another summary, and then another summary, you organize your piece by sub-themes or sub-categories.

The idea of people wanting to change their appearance in body and/or facial areas has become a caught the attention of many people, which makes it important to engage in extensive exploration of the central pull and push factors to the act (Berer, 2010, p. 6). In this case, the main aim of this paper is to collect some secondary data from prior studies, write a summary of each source, and then conduct a review of the research findings presented in the studies. Focusing on engaging in a proper exploration of main influencing factors for people to undergo cosmetic surgery, the research question to guide the process of acquiring substantial information is, ‘What are the main matters of concern in decision-making of people to require a cosmetic surgery?’In order to narrow down to the main influencing factors, a literature review will be conducted under the hypothesis, ‘socio-cultural beliefs, mass media, and celebrities largely influence the preferences of cosmetic surgery’.
