Question 3: Research

The ability to read, understand, critique, and integrate research studies and to design a study to address a gap in the research literature is a vital tool for a doctoral student. As you write your dissertation, you may be reading hundreds of studies, many of which you will evaluate as part of a coherent literature review.

Select five empirical articles from peer-reviewed journals that:
• you consider critical to your understanding of your area of dissertation research
• all address a particular phenomenon and attempt to contribute to theory about it

Part 1
1. Describe each study, including:
• the research problem, questions, or hypotheses
• the research purpose
• type of design and elements of the design (e.g., sample, data analysis, operationalization of constructs)
• threats to validity and if and how they were addressed
• the findings and their implications

2. Critically evaluate each study: Does the author make a compelling case for the meaning and significance of the findings?

Part 2
Write a literature review that explains what is known and not known about the phenomenon based on a critical evaluation of the five studies

Part 3
Develop a research question that addresses one of the unknowns you identified in Part 2 and sketch a quantitative or qualitative study that can answer the question about what is unknown and contribute to theory (in some sense of theory you discuss in Question 1).

Address:
• the research purpose
• type of design and elements of the design (e.g., sample, the type of data you need to collect and how you will collect it, data analysis)
• the strengths and weaknesses of your envisioned design and methods
• quantitative: threats to validity and how your design will address them
• quantitative: the constructs you will measure and what you will do in order to determine how to operationalize them (you need not identify specific measures)
• qualitative: your means of ensuring the quality of your findings
• justification for why your chosen design and methods are more appropriate for your research question than alternatives you have considered
• your methods of data analysis
• how the data you collect will enable you to answer your research question and contribute to theory

Draw on the additional resources for this course for guidance in understanding the concepts (e.g., internal validity, threats to validity, and operationalization) needed to address this question.

Assignment 1.1 Introductory Speech Outline

1) Select either Topic A or Topic B for your introductory speech.

o Topic A: Elevator Pitch | Deliver an elevator pitch that describes your professional background and experience for a potential employer during a job interview.

o Topic B: Dream Career | Discuss your dream career.

2) Create an outline or speaking notes in Microsoft Word.

o Download the Microsoft Word template in the “Assignment 1.1” section located in Week 2 of your course.

o Focus your speech on 2-3 main points so you’ll stay within the 2-minute time limit.

3) Submit the completed Microsoft Word template in Blackboard (this is separate from your speech/self-review).

Find and discuss a court case that, regardless of the crime, involved digital evidence. Discuss the nature of the digital evidence and the outcome.
To obtain full credit for the week’s participation on the board, you must post an initial post by Wednesday at midnight and respond to at least two or more of your classmates per board by Sunday at midnight. These topics will open weekly and close weekly. Remember to be considerate of the rights and beliefs of your classmates. Your initial posts should be at least one hundred (100) words in length. Your response should contribute to the continuity of the discussion and should be more than a simple response, e.g., I agree or great post. Remember to cite correctly as needed.

In this assignment, you will investigate the significant role of each founding father of industrial/organizational psychology, as well as come to understand the important role that industrial/organizational psychologists play as both researcher and practitioner and the importance of research and statistics in the field.

Complete the Contributions to I/O Psychology worksheet.

Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper comparing the dual roles of scientist and practitioner that I/O psychologists play. Include the following in your response:

• Specific examples of how research advances the field
• Ethical considerations when conducting this research
• Descriptions of at least two statistical methods used by I/O psychologists, as well as how they are used

Discussion: Core Competencies of Leaders and Managers in Healthcare Settings

Note: Initial postings must be 250-350 words (not including references).

Direct care settings [noun]
“Those organizations that provide care directly to a patient, resident or client who seeks services from the organization” (Buchbinder & Thompson, 2010, pp. 33–34).

Non–direct care settings [noun]
Organizations “not directly involved in providing care to persons needing health services, but rather support the care of individuals through products and services made available to direct care settings” (Buchbinder & Shanks, 2019, pp. 1–2).

One of the many differentiators in terms of healthcare leadership is setting. Healthcare leaders and managers may choose to work in settings that provide direct services, such as a hospital or clinic—or nondirect services—such as a community health foundation. Why might healthcare professionals choose to work in one path over another? And what particular characteristics, roles, and functions are needed to successfully manage one type of setting over another?

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Complete the readings in your Learning Resources.
• Review the profiles of the various healthcare managers who work in a healthcare setting in this week’s Required Media. (Click on the organizational charts to learn more about the healthcare professionals in direct, nondirect, and physician practice settings.

By Day 4

Post a comprehensive response to the following:

• Explain the roles and functions of healthcare managers and leaders in direct and nondirect service healthcare settings.
• Select one individual from a direct care setting and one individual from a nondirect setting in either the Welcome to Waldenville or the Good Samaritan Hospital’s Organization Chart—Week 1 media, and describe their core competencies.
  • How are these core competencies of the featured leaders similar and different?
  • In which setting would you prefer to work, and why?

Please be sure to cite your resources using APA style within your post. Please try to select specific public health examples that are different from those posted by your classmates for this discussion.
