Step 1: The Problem

Yes, because the article's title suggests that the problem covered in the paper is related to the mental illness stigma and the fundamental concepts of the supported employment and the researchers justified there task.

Yes, because the problem narrowed down to 2 stigma models that were, responsibility attribution and dangerousness, and the relationship of the components with supported employment. Similarly, the researchers paid huge emphasis on the research method as well.

Yes, because the researcher analyzed that the disabilities of mental illness mostly times stop people from attaining important life goals, and thus in such situations, how the individual and the people around him feel is important to study. According to researchers, mental illness had devastating effect on the society because people having mental illness mostly times left alone to fight with their rights, therefore, to overcome their suffering, this research is quite helpful.

Yes, in the literature review, the researchers clearly and accurately linked the indentified problem with the previous research because the previous research selected by the researchers was closely related to the indentified problem.

Step 2: Literature Review

Yes, because in each paragraph, the researchers covered a specific area, for example in first paragraph, the researchers covered the area of train-place strategies and in the second paragraph, supported employment was discussed. This showed that the researchers were on the right track, so that the research could have a positive conclusion (Ridley, 2008).

Yes, because the researchers closely analyzed the different areas of the problem like attribution theory and how the theory linked with the elegant model for understanding stigma.

Yes, the gaps between knowledge identified attribution theory basically illustrating the psychiatric disorders, whereas the dangerousness covered the attitudes of the supported employment. This showed that the researchers were cleared in their mind what actually they need to prve through the research.

Yes, the previous research studies could be considered the back bone of the papers because the researchers carefully selected to maintain the quality of the paper. Similarly, the literature holds a crucial position in the research because it enables the reader to understand what actually the researcher want to prove, that is why, the previous research studies were closely relevant to the study (Machi & McEvovy, 2009).

Yes, each cited work included in the reference list, for the authenticity of the paper, the author checked each and every reference.

No, all works cited in the literature review only included in the reference list.

Step 3: Theoretical Framework or Conceptual Framework

It is linked easily because the pattern of the paper showed that everything is smooth and readers friendly and every concept has the link with study. As the subject of research is sensitive as it deals with the mental illness, therefore, the linkage between the pattern of the paper was very much essential.

Yes, all the concepts adequately defined and can be seen noticed through the study of attribution theory that how it linked with the different factors of the study.

Step 4: Research Variables

The variables operationally ...
