An interesting topic of study is the need to study the self for as people see us we ca now see our selves. not wanting to appear vain but the mirror is crucial in everyone’s life and it has opened a world to evaluate self in self reflection metaphorically as well. According to the reading, “On a practical level, the modern glass mirror was an important new technology that literally allowed people to see themselves in a new way. Humans have used reflective devices for much of human history, with evidence of polished bronze and copper mirrors dating to nearly 3000 BC in Egypt. However, until the technology of the modern mirror was perfected in Venice in the early 16th century, what people saw in mirrors was a distortion of their appearance. The perfected mirror can be viewed as a technology to enable individuals to see themselves more clearly and thus to literally self-perceive, that is, to come closer to seeing themselves as others saw them. This facilitated a heightened sense of self”. Rutherford, A. (2010).whenever i experience new beginnings in life i dream of seeing myself different in a mirror. mirror dreams tell me if i’m doing something wrong in waking life and show me how the world is viewing me. it holds spiritual meanings to me as i believe in dreams and ancestors guiding us through life.

Depression is a negative affective state, ranging from unhappiness and discontent to an extreme feeling of sadness, pessimism, and despondency, that interferes with daily life. Various physical, cognitive, and social changes also tend to co-occur, including altered eating or sleeping habits, lack of energy or motivation, difficulty concentrating or making decisions, and withdrawal from social activities. It is symptomatic of a number of mental health disorders.

Depression symptoms can vary from mild to severe and can include:

· Feeling sad or having a depressed mood

· Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed

· Changes in appetite — weight loss or gain unrelated to dieting

· Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much

· Loss of energy or increased fatigue

· Increase in purposeless physical activity (e.g., hand-wringing or pacing) or slowed movements and speech (actions observable by others)

· Feeling worthless or guilty

· Difficulty thinking, concentrating or making decisions

· Thoughts of death or suicide

Health is the condition of one’s mind, body, and spirit, the idea being freedom from illness, injury, pain, and distress.

List 4 or 5 ideas you have or questions you find particularly interesting about any topic. Don’t worry how you would answer the question. Some of Salkind’s analogies come from the Wizard of OZ, so just follow the yellow brick road and see where you end up.

 

5 Page Assessment. Due in 12 hours. Don’t send random bids. I hate random people bids.  

 Plus i need you for coming weeks too. 

Develop a draft of CHAPTER 1. 

Note: Developing a research proposal requires specific steps that need to be executed in a sequence. The assessments in this course must be completed in order.  You must wait until the previous version is graded to submit again.  It is essential to track the updates to the document and to ask the instructor about preference on that option.

For this assessment, you will begin a draft of CHAPTER 1, using the appropriate template (qualitative or quantitative) that is located in the resource section of this assessment. This draft is your opportunity to make an evidence-based case as to why this research deserves exploration. This means you will need to provide research citations to validate your proposed idea and justify why further research is needed. While you will have the opportunity to revisit and finalize Chapter 1 in Assessment 4, this submission should be fully developed.

Note: Developing a research proposal requires specific steps that need to be executed in a sequence. The assessments in this course are presented in sequence and must be completed in order. Only one assessment can be submitted at a time. Subsequent submissions should include highlighted changes.

For your first project assessment, you will draft an abstracted outline of CHAPTER 1, using the appropriate guide that is located in the resource section of this assessment. This outline will provide you with an opportunity to make a case as to why this research should be explored. Make sure that your rationale is evidence based.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

Competency 1: Determine the scientific merit of the professional literature.

Present the description of the research problem and an explanation that describes how the research problem led to the current research question.

Summarize briefly what is known so far about the phenomena under investigation.

Describe what information is needed in order to advance the knowledge base.

Explain the major themes identified in the literature review.

Summarize the design approach by identifying whether it is qualitative or quantitative.

Competency 6: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of the psychological profession.

Adhere to APA style and formatting guidelines; writing is concise and well-organized.

Preparation

Before you begin, carefully read the course overview and syllabus as well as chapters 1-3 of the APA manual. Review the Chapters 1-5 Integrated Project Overview document under Required Resources and the Research Proposal Development Resources under Suggested Resources. These tools are fundamental to your understanding of how to approach the first stage of research.

The introductory section of your Integrative Project: Chapters 1–5 will include two significant descriptions:

The area of practice that you have chosen for the project. 

The significance of this topic for the scientific community.

For Assessment 1, you will submit a draft of CHAPTER 1 for feedback and grading. To complete this assessment, you need to do the following:

Identify a topic as it relates to the field of psychology. The more specific and focused your topic, the more useful and comprehensive it will be. Present your topic in the form of a question that will guide your search of the literature. Be sure, as you identify your topic, to identify the context that the population inhabits. Consider identifying gender, developmental stage, age range, region, diagnoses or health status, intervention or therapy, assessment tools, racial identity, ethnic identity, class, history and other specifics associated with the questions that you wish to explore.

Identify the knowledge gap or problem you wish to address. In your proposal, your readers will need to understand why this research is needed and how it would contribute to the overall knowledge pool. To help with this process, become familiar with existing literature. As you read the work of others, consider the following:

What types of problems are all or most of the authors attempting to address?

What questions are these authors explicitly asking? What questions might they be implicitly asking?

Create a research question that serves as the guiding question for the proposal, which should include a valid reason for your positioning. The research question should determine the scope of your proposal.

Instructions

Use the appropriate template (qualitative or quantitative) that is located in the resource section CHAPTER 1.

Please refer to the APA manual, pages 27–28, for detailed instructions on how to complete this assignment. You must use the required subheadings that are listed in the templates provided.

Title page: Include a brief yet descriptive title of 15 words or less.

For tips on writing titles, read the Tips for Titles, Abstracts, and Literature Reviews document linked in the Resources activity.

Abstract: Leave this blank for now. You will complete this in Chapter 4.

Table of contents (TOC).

Introduction: Start your proposal by presenting “the problem being investigated, the importance of the study, and an overview of your research strategy. Use the literature to support your statement of the problem” (Rudner & Schafer, 1999, p. 2).

Background of the Problem

What do we know so far about the area of the literature that you reviewed?

What do you think we need to know to advance the knowledge base?

How will this new knowledge serve the stakeholders (scientists, care providers, families, patients, institutions) that may in turn be served by implementation of new developments?

Statement of the Problem

Identify the gap in research or the need for additional research in your area.

Purpose of the Study

Why does the problem deserve new research?

Are you resolving inconsistency in previous research? Extending the reach of a theory? Solving a social problem?

Significance of the Study

Describe the significance of the proposed investigation by explaining how the results promise to advance the scientific knowledge base. In three sentences or fewer, explain how this inquiry is original.

Research Questions

Articulate whether the research question is a qualitative or a quantitative question and provide a rationale. For quantitative research questions, include your hypothesis or hypotheses.

Definition of Terms

For a qualitative study, the definition of terms should relate to how the participants should interpret the definitions.

For a quantitative study, the definition of terms should relate to how the variables will be quantified. 

Research Design

Discuss the method and how the question will be answered.  Be sure to make mention of the relevant APA Code of Ethics, but not how you intend to address them.  How you will address the codes and ensure they are adhered to will be covered in Chapter 3.

Reference Page

Include at least 10 scholarly, peer-reviewed articles.  Make sure they are also cited within text.

MUST USED ATTACHED TEMPLATE MUST BE ORIGINAL WORK

Refer back to the movie you selected and watched or the case study you read during Topic 1.

Case Study 

David is a 49-year-old married man with two adult children. He has been married for 21 years. He has been employed as a metallurgical engineer in a local steel mill for 20 years. David noted he use to enjoyment going to work, but now, he states some days he would rather just stay home. David married his high school sweetheart. He describes their relationship as “typical.” They eat meals and attend family gatherings together but do little else as a couple. David use to spend his spare time reading, playing golf, and watching TV. For the last 6 months, David has felt blue and his appetite has decreased. He stated he doesn’t have any desire to do any of things he use to enjoy and would rather spend time alone in his bedroom. David complained of irritability and low energy. Within the last 2 months, David noted he has experienced more physical pain in his back and neck area. Because he has not been sleeping well, David drinks more at night. He stated that when he was younger, he use to drink more frequently but now he only drinks two or three beers per night. Sometimes, he feels like life is hardly worth living. David has tried to “snap himself” out of this sour mood, but nothing seems to work. David oldest son stated he is concerned his father may need to go see a doctor, because his father appears to be acting usual. David stated that his sister used to have similar problems. He is resistant to going to see a doctor and believes his mood will eventually improve. 

David’s sister Lisa has struggled with depression for over 10 years. She is currently seeing a psychiatrist and a counselor. In the past, Lisa reported an increase in emotional and physical fatigue, low mood, increased weight gain, and disrupted sleep. Lisa has a negative outlook and states that when things are looking up, something always goes terribly wrong.
