2 Research Sources An abstract's objective is to briefly describe the key aspects of an academic article or paper, such as the study question or topic, methodology, findings, and conclusions. It is usually the first part of an article that readers see, and it aids them in determining if the whole thing is interesting and worth reading. Yes, the article's abstract's material is sufficient for summarizing the study's objectives, methodology, and conclusions. The topic the study tackles, the research methodology, and the main conclusions are all succinctly summarized in the abstract. Additionally, it contains pertinent keywords that aid readers in recognizing the article's primary themes. A primary source is an original document or item offering firsthand knowledge or information on a topic, phenomenon, or event. Primary sources are articles such as diaries, epistles, pictures, as well as historical records. A secondary source is a document or piece of writing that interprets or analyses primary sources, such as a literature review, meta-analysis, or textbook. Secondary sources may offer different contexts or insights and often rely on primary sources for their content. The primary sources for the identified data used in the paper are the research participants' answers to standardized questionnaires the researchers administered. Among these are the CDC COVID-19 death count reports (CDC, 2021); Arizona State’s College Students Stressful Events Checklist; EAT-26, CSSEC, PSS-10, and PSS-10-C. Secondary sources are the books and articles listed in the paper's introductory and discussion sections, which give background data and situate the study's conclusions within the larger field of research. Secondary sources include; Holme’s & Rahe (1967) article “The Social Readjustment Rating Scale”; Krysinska (2015)’s

3 “Trait gratitude and suicidal ideation and behavior,” McGrath (1983) article “Measuring life stress,” and Reddy et al. (2018) journal article “Academic stress and its sources among university students.” The benefits of primary sources comprise their accuracy and dependability since they offer personal knowledge that can be helpful for inferring relationships or making judgments. , But Primary sources can be biased or have a narrow focus, and it may take specific knowledge or abilities to analyze them. The benefits of secondary sources comprise their synthesis and analysis of primary sources, which can give a broader view of a topic. Additionally, they can assist in locating patterns, trends, or gaps in the study. Nevertheless, depending on the quality of the study and the author's experience, secondary sources could be less trustworthy or accurate than primary ones. The author's prejudices or agenda may also impact them.
