Modified 10 Points Template, psychology homework help

/in /by

In the prospectus, proposal, and dissertation there are 10 strategic points that need to be clear, simple, correct, and aligned to ensure the research is doable, valuable, and credible. These points, which provide a guide or vision for the research, are present in almost any research study. The ability to identify these points is one of the first skills required in the creation of a viable doctoral dissertation. In this assignment, you will identify and evaluate 10 strategic points in a published quantitative research study.

General Requirements:

Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:

  • Review the Brown and Trevino article.(ATTACHED – Item #2)
  • Locate and download “Modified 10 Points Template.” (ATTACHED – Itemn #3)
  • This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
  • You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin.

Directions:

Using the “Modified 10 Points Template,” identify each of the 10 strategic points in this quantitative research study.

Complete the “Evaluation” section of the template by addressing the following questions (250-500 words) with regard to the 10 strategic points in the study:

  1. Discuss the key points in the literature review and how the author used this section to identify the gap or problem addressed in the study.
  2. Describe the variables under study and how they are a key component in this quantitative research study. You are not expected to understand the differences between variables at this point, but should be able to identify how they inform the problem, purpose, research questions and data collection instruments.
  3. Describe the problem and how it informed the research questions under study.
  4. Describe the quantitative design used and why it is appropriate for the identified problem and research questions. Support your response with a peer-reviewed citation from a research source.

500 word answer with reference about a survey, writing homework help

Discussion

Surveys can be a useful way to get a lot of information from a lot of people quickly. They can be administered by phone, mail, in person, or on the internet. Researchers can choose to use open ended questions or questions with forced choices, such as with the Likert scale. Researchers want to design surveys to maximize response rate and accuracy of responses. As an example, if a researcher wants to create a survey of cyber-bullying, s/he might want to administer this online as those who are experiencing cyber-bullying are already spending time online. If s/he wants to target adolescents, s/he will want to word his or her survey in a way that it is easily understood by adolescents. If s/he thinks adolescents might not want to spend a lot of time on the survey, s/he might choose to use forced-choice responses instead of open ended questions. This will also reduce the time that s/he spends coding and interpreting open ended responses. S/he might anticipate that some adolescents do not take the survey seriously and that some data might not be accurate.

  1. Choose a topic of interest that you would want to research through a survey design. Define a research question for this topic.
  2. Create a sample survey of five items to research this topic. 
  3. Discuss who you will administer this survey to (what type of sampling will you use) and why.
  4. Discuss how you think respondents will respond to your survey and how responses can be scored and interpreted.

Quantitative Research Methods, non parametric analysis

/in /by

Consider the following scenario:

There are numerous times when the information collected from a real organization will not conform to the requirements of a parametric analysis. That is, a practitioner would not be able to analyze the data with a t-test or f-test (ANOVA). Presume that a young professional had read about tests-such as the Chi-Square, the Mann-Whitney U test, the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test, and Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance-and wants to know when it is appropriate to use each test, what each test is used for, and why each would be used instead of the t-tests and ANOVA. How would you address this person’s concerns?

Between the World and Me, english essay help

/in /by

Here is the link for background readings. Making sure read everything before working. If you can not open it, please let me know. Also please finish it as soon as possible!

Thank you!

http://droppdf.com/v/AZhdU or http://www.mercerislandschools.org/cms/lib3/WA0100… It’s same thing.

Background: We have read and discussed Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Between the World and Me and viewed the documentary, The House I Live In. We’ve also talked about the promise of the American Dream. It is clear that, in general, being a person of color in the United States means facing an entire history and heritage ranging from having no access at all to less access to the American Dream than others have generally had. We’ve discussed racism, police brutality/racial profiling, socio-economic status, the prison system and “the war on drugs,” and white privilege. Now you are ready to address the following prompt:

PROMPT:

To what “Dream” does Ta-Nehisi Coates refer in his letter to his son, Between the World and Me? Why has this Dream been a lie, and remains a lie, for many African Americans?

TO HELP YOU GET STARTED:

· There are many ways to answer the second part of the prompt, so do not attempt to discuss them all. Pick no more than three or four of the “whys” and explain why they are particularly obstacles for people of color. Choosing just two or three and delving deeply into the topic would be even better.

· Think about the lessons of the book and the movie.

· If relevant, consider your own personal observations and experiences.

· Consider the article on white privilege and other articles on Web Access and what they show us.

· Investigate the many instances of unarmed black men being shot and killed by the police. Can you support the assertion that the police are more likely to kill a black person because they feel threatened by him than they are likely to kill a white person? What accounts for the false perception of threat?

· African Americans don’t use drugs at a rate higher than white people do, so why do so many black people, particularly men, wind up in jail? (The majority of people in jail are there for non-violent drug offenses.)

· Check out the ACLU’s web page on the “School to Prison Pipeline.”

OTHER REQUIREMENTS:

· This essay should be about 4-5 pages, double-spaced, or roughly 1200-1500 words.

· Although the book, movie, texts on Web Access, and any personal experiences should be the sources you most rely on, you are allowed to do outside research to supplement the readings and use in your essay. Be sure to use credible sources!

· Submit your essay to Turnitin.com and write your originality percentage on the first page of your final draft.

· Highlight two sentences that use semicolons correctly. (review)

· Highlight two sentences that join an independent to a dependent clause using a subordinator. (review)

· Highlight two sentences that join two independent clauses using a comma and one of the FANBOYS. (review)
