description research methodology 15952215 2

/in /by

In this assignment, you will write an essay about the research methods and ethical implications of a social psychology study. You will get information about the study from one of the entries in the SPARQ “Solutions Catalog”, which is a web site maintained by Stanford University at https://sparq.stanford.edu/solutions?&&. SPARQ is an acronym for “Social Psychological Answers to Real-world Questions.” Each entry in the Solutions Catalog names a problem, and then offers a solution to that problem, based on a research study in social psychology. 

To keep this assignment short and manageable, your only sources for this assignment should be from the SPARQ site and your course materials, such as your textbook. There is no need for you to cite any of the course materials. Therefore, no additional citations or references are needed, beyond those from the SPARQ site. 

In this exercise, you will choose one of the entries in the SPARC site, and then write a two to three (2-3) page paper that meets the following requirements.

  1. Begin your paper with a short introductory statement that clearly identifies the article from the SPARQ site that you are using, as well as the corresponding research article.  Model your statement after the following example: 

The article I selected from the SPARQ website is entitled “Boost Grades by Reframing Failures” (Wilson, n.d.), which summarizes a research article (Wilson & Linville, 1982) on the topic.
      • Please note that there are two APA “in-text citations” in this example. The first citation “(Wilson, n.d.)” is an in-text citation for the SPARQ article. The SPARQ articles are undated, which means that there is no date of publication reported. The “n.d.” designation is an abbreviation for “no date”. 
      • The second citation “(Wilson & Linville, 1982)”, is an in-text citation to the original research article. We are asking you to cite this paper for practice in using APA, but are not requiring you to read the original paper. Normally, you should cite only those articles that you actually read and used, but we’re making an exception here for the purposes of practice. 
  1. Briefly summarize the main details of your chosen social psychology research study. Identify the main research method(s) used in the study (e.g., case study, experiment, observation, etc.).
  2. Explain whether or not you believe the research methodology that the researchers used in the study was the most appropriate for the study. Provide a rationale for your response.
  3. Discuss whether or not you believe the research methodology used in the study is the one (1) method that provides researchers with the most information in general. Explain the main reasons why or why not.
  4. Explain the major ethical implications of the selected study (e.g., informed consent, debriefing, etc.). Describe the main reasons why you believe the study was or was not ethical. Provide a rationale for your response.
  5. The final section of your paper will be a reference section that contains a corresponding reference for both of the in-text citations in your introductory statement (see point #1, above). In APA-style citations, in-text citations must match up with a reference in the reference section. You can model your reference section after the following: 

Wilson, T. D. (n.d.). Boost grades by reframing failures.  Retrieved from https://sparq.stanford.edu/solutions/boost-grades-reframing-failures
Wilson, T. D. & Linville, P.W. (1982).  Improving the academic performance of college freshmen:  attribution therapy revisited.  Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 42 (2), 367-376.
      • These examples follow the APA conventions for an Internet article, and a professional journal article, respectively. 

 
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Describe research methods that are used for studying social psychology.
  • Develop an increased understanding of the dynamic between society and individuals.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in social psychology.
  • Write clearly and concisely about social psychology using proper grammar and mechanics.

discussion t response to a students post on obsessive compulsive disorder

/in /by

I have a online discussion assignment which I already did my part but also need to answer to a another students response. It just a abnormal psychology case study on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Basically to read about the case study about 14 pages (uploaded in files) and respond to a classmates discussion post in detail and contributing to the ideas that the student pointed out and providing some insights you found in the case. It should be very clear and evident that you read the case and are competent in the symptoms of the disorder discussed. Response should be about 400 words.

STUDENTS POST IS BELOW TO RESPOND TO!


For my case study response I chose chapter 8 on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. As a therapist I would have proceeded with treatment differently from those in the text. I would have first addressed what I believe to be the root of Karen’s problem, her identification as a ritualized Catholic. By no means would I discourage a personal sense of healthy spirituality but Karen’s belief system was not conducive to her health. For starters, Karen had been programed since birth to emulate her parents strict disciplinary idea of a God pleasing life style. This entailed rituals and beliefs that had encouraged insurmountable fears of punitive judgments that kept her powerless her entire life. She was essentially raised on a foundation that would fail to support her. Living in fear of a punishing God who monitored sinful thoughts that were out of her control would clearly be grounds for mental illness. This alone could drive a person mad and lead to a comorbidity of disorders. From the onset, Karen was conditioned to esteem an external sense of authority that robbed her from any sense of empowerment. She was never encouraged to believe and trust in herself but to believe in a God that would condemn her eternally if she failed to observe patterns of thought and behavior that kept her in bondage. I took a special note that her biological father was not mentioned characteristically besides being devout. This results in speculation that her father, as well as God, was unavailable in a personal and supportive way. The church dogma ascended what would be a more rational design of living and personal development in her household. Karen shared that her most positive recollection of interaction with her mother centered around prescribed church functions. She seems to have always lacked inner personal relationships that would help her to develop a sense of identity. Her husband in fact appears to be nothing more than a male chauvinist who afforded her with four kids by the age 25 and in no way participates to raise them. She has no warm and loving bonds that have ever established trust or given her a pleasurable sense of belonging. Life has been structured in vain around a religious conception of servitude. I find it very negative and condemning and I see no evidence of it producing qualitative fruit in her emotional or mental frame.

I agree with the therapists conceptualization of developing Karen’s interpersonal skills that would give her more control over her environment. I disagree, however, about encouraging her to find another church that supported her fragmented beliefs. The reason Karen observes number rituals is to protect her kids because she genuinely disbeliefs that the God she serves will. There is no logic in her practice as a Catholic. Karen has never felt safe and protected by God and doesn’t believe her kids are either. Why contend to church services out of fear? The concept of honoring something that instills such an extreme sense of fear and irrationality will just continue the mental illness in various forms of manifestation. Karen can’t regain a sense of control in her environment if she keeps giving her power over to God. She needs first to be helped with an honest assessment of her beliefs and their direct influence on her life. Karen is a case study of religious dogma facilitating direct mental illness on it’s practitioners. Karen will never recover if this core of her belief system is not addressed.

Assignment 2: Use and Misuse of Percentages

One of the concepts you encountered in the readings this module was how to recognize the use and misuse of information presented in the form of percentages.

1. In this discussion assignment, you will conduct an Internet search to find several examples of the use of percentages. These can be examples of percentages used in advertising claims, reported results from a study, or information shared by a government agency.

2. In a minimum of 200 words, post to the Discussion Area your response to the following:

Find an example of two of the following types of usage of percentages.

a. Use of percentages as a fraction. Remember that this type will use the wordof to imply multiplication. Explain whether this was an effective way to represent this information within the context of the example you found.

 

b. Use of percentages to describe change. In the example you find, determine whether the reported percentage demonstrated absolute or relative change. Show your work. Explain whether this was an effective way to represent this information within the context of the example you found.

 

c. Use of percentages for comparison. In the example you find, determine whether the reported percentage demonstrated absolute or relative change. Show your work. Explain whether this was an effective way to represent this information within the context of the example you found.

 

–1.Now, find an example of two of the following misuses of percentages.

Use of a shifting reference value. In this situation, the base values are changing as differing values of percentages are applied as increases, decreases, or both. Percentage increases, decreases, or both do not have a cumulative effect. Be sure to demonstrate why your example fits this category.

–2.Use of percentage to represent less than nothing. Look for an example where you are seeing a reduction of some percentage greater than 100. Be sure to demonstrate why your example fits this category.

—3.Situation where the average percentage is reported. In general, you can not average percentages. The result isn’t representative of what actually has occurred in the situation in question. Be sure to demonstrate why your example fits this category.

 

By Sunday, December 14, 2014, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through Wednesday, December 17, 2014, review the postings of your peers and respond to at least two of them. Consider commenting on the following:

–Examine each example that the student provided. Did these examples sufficiently demonstrate the ways that percentages are used and misused? Explain.

–What have you learned regarding the necessity of carefully examining the percentages reported in advertising, news media, government reports, etc.?

Repetition Statements

In this homework, you will design a program to perform the following task:

Write a program that would allow a user to enter student names and Final grades (e.g. A,B,C,D,F) from their courses. You do not know how many students need to be entered. You also do not know how many courses each of the students completed. Design your program to calculate the Grade Point Average (GPA) for each student based on each of their final grades.  The program should output the Student name along with the GPA.

 

There are 5 components of your submission including:

  • Program Description- A detailed, clear description of the program you are building.
  • Analysis- Demonstrates your thought process and steps used to analyze the problem. Be sure to include the required input and output and how you will obtain the required output from the given input? Also, include your variable names and definitions. Be sure to describe the necessary formulas and sample calculations that might be needed. Talk about how your design will allow any number of students and final grades to be possible inputs.
  • Test plan – Prepare at least 1 set of input data (Test data) along with their expected output for testing your program.  This test case should include at least 10 students. Your test data can be presented in the form of a table as follows (note: feel free to adapt to your design)
  • Flowchart – Provide a flowchart for your design. You can use Word, Powerpoint, Visio or any software you have available that will allow to draw shapes and connectors.
  • Pseudocode- Provide pseudocode of your overall design that fulfills the requirements of the project

 

All of these components should be placed in word document for submission.

Additional details about the program you need to write:

  1. GPA is calculated by summing the point equivalents for final grades and taking the average. A =4, B=3, C=2, D=1, and F = 0. So, if someone earned 2 A’s and 1 B, their GPA would be (4 + 4 + 3)/3 = 3.67
  2. Think about using a simple process to stop entering students and course grades. For example, if StudentName < 0.

 Example application test data:

Test Case #

Input

Expected Output

1

Sally: A,D,B,C
John: A,A,A,B,B
Jason: A,A,A,A,B
Bob: B,B
Bill: A
…

GPA for Sally is : 2.5
GPA for John is: 3.6
GPA for Jason is: 3.8
GPA for Bob is: 3.0
GPA for Bill is: 4.0
…

Submission requirements:

Your completed assignment should be saved as Word document and submitted to your LEO assignment area no later than the due date listed in the syllabus. Your document should be neat, well-written with minimal grammatical and spelling errors. Your name should be clearly listed on the first page along with the class/section, professor and due date. Your document should contain page numbers at the bottom of each page. Single or double space line formatting is acceptable.

You should name the file yournamehw3.docx (or yournamehw3.doc). So if my name was Julie Smith, I would name my document juliesmithhw3.docx.

 

Please pay close attention to the submission requirements.
