Finalizing the Research Question (RQ) Preparation

If you choose to have an optional conference with the instructor, be sure to have the qualitative and quantitative project guides (linked in Resources) handy for reference. Reminder: Mixed-methods questions, meta-analysis, and single case-study designs are unacceptable for the integrative project. Please refer to your instructor’s Faculty Expectations message for additional details on communication preferences. Instructions Submit a copy of your research question. For quantitative research questions, include your hypothesis or hypotheses. Be sure to phrase the research question in the form of a question. Identify the research question as qualitative or quantitative. Identify three peer-reviewed sources that support the need to investigate the RQ. In three sentences or fewer, explain how this inquiry is original and how it will advance the scientific knowledge base. Post your proposed research question (RQ) in one or two interrogatives. Identify whether it is a qualitative or a quantitative question.

Refer to the assignment scoring guide to ensure that you meet all criteria. Additional Requirements Font: New Times Roman, 12 point, double-spaced.

Topic: How MDMA can benefit PTSD

For each assignment you must hand in a Literature Review of a minimum of three (if you its an individual work). Remember that the selection of literature must be valid and consist of articles from a scientific/academic journal or chapters from a specialized book(that either offers empirical studies or a systematic theoretical review) that elaborates about your selected research topic. In this sense, only primary or secondary sources are valid for this type of review. If you are ever unsure on the validity of the source, send me an e-mail and/or bring it to class to assess it (please do this at least a few days before the due date to hand in said reviews). Remember thata relatively good “rule of thumb” is that journals published from renown and respectable universities and research institutions tend to go though rigorous editorial process (and tend to be peer-reviewed) that safe-guard (at least in theory) from spurious, fallacious or wrongly made articles or studies.

A review must never be reduced to simply reproducing the abstract. Each review should be one (1) page long or at least a minimum of one to two (1-2) paragraphs (the maximum is relative, but it shouldn’t generally be longer than two or three pages). You don’t have to use up a whole page per review: if there’s still enough unused space you can continue on with your next review in the samepage (just leave at least a space between reviews). Before the reviews, at the top of the first page, there should be a brief section in which you state your selected research topic and problem. The purpose of this first literature review is that it should help you limit and identify the problem you want to review (and possible changes you might due along the way, if needed). That is why I have asked you to try to identify your possible research problem in a separate section.

case Study: this was duplicated 

Prior to beginning this assignment, read the PSY650 Week Two Treatment Plan , Case 16: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Gorenstein and Comer (2014), and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders in Hamblin and Gross (2012).

Assess the evidence-based practices implemented in this case study by addressing the following issues: Explain the connection between each theoretical orientation used by Dr. Remoc and the four interventions utilized in the case. Consider Dr. Remoc’s utilization of two theoretical frameworks to guide her treatment plan.  Assess the efficacy of integrating two orientations based on the information presented in the case study. Describe some potential problems with prescribing medication as the only treatment option for children with ADHD. Identify tasks and positive reinforcements that might be included in Billy’s token economy chart given the behavior issues described in the case. (There are articles in the recommended resources that may assist you in this portion of the assignment.) Evaluate the effectiveness of the four treatment interventions implemented by Dr. Remoc and support your statements with information from the case and two to three peer-reviewed articles from the Ashford University Library. Recommend three additional treatment interventions that would be appropriate in this case. Use information from the Hamblin and Gross “Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders” chapter to help support your recommendations. Justify your selections with information from the case.

The Case Analysis Must be 4 to 5 double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.). Must include a separate title page with the following: Title of paper Student’s name Course name and number Instructor’s name Date submitted Must use at least two peer-reviewed sources from the Ashford University Library. Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. (Links to an external site.)  Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
