When to use WHAT statistic?
Assignment Part One: Research Problem
For Question Three, your faculty has provided you with a general topic. Your task now is to use that topic to develop research questions, research method section, and statistical design. You may choose either a quantitative or qualitative perspective. (NOTE: You will use this same topic to complete Question Four.)
1. Develop a Problem Statement using the subject area provided by your faculty in Week 1.
In your problem statement, you will
- Explain the research topic behavior regarding the subject area provided by your faculty.
- Define the construct you are interested in researching related to the subject area provided by your faculty.
- Include the theory you would test related to the subject area provided by your faculty.
- Support your problem statement with at least 5-10 peer-reviewed articles.
2. Develop a brief Purpose Statement.
3. Develop two Research Questions using the subject area provided by your faculty, based upon just one of the research questions you have crafted.
4. Develop the Research Hypothesis based upon the research questions you have crafted.
5. Briefly describe how the Research Problem, Purpose, Research Questions, and Hypothesis are connected.
6. (End here, no need for more literature review; move on to Part Two which will require the remaining pages)
Assignment: Part Two: Research Methods
Using the same topic you addressed in Section One of this question, you will now prepare a Research Methods section.
In the method section you should have all the headings and subheadings outlined by APA. Please feel free to use the APA manual. Keep in mind that a reader should be able to read an author's research method section and be able to run the experiment by him/herself (this means your procedures section should be clear and detailed as to what you are going to do).
Specifically, this section needs to address:
1. Participants
Briefly determine the demographics/eligibility requirements of the participants you would seek for the proposed study.
2. Research design (good models for this are the 'methods' sections of empirical research papers that include 'participants' 'research design' 'procedures' 'measures' 'planned analysis'
A. The specific research design you would use to test the research questions you have developed for this topic.
B. Justify the design.
C. Describe any limitations this design may have.
D. Describe any advantages and/or disadvantages this design may have.
E. If you have chosen a quantitative design, what would be the qualitative equivalent design for this mock study? If you have chosen a qualitative design, what is the quantitative equivalent design for this mock study? As part of this section, be sure to indicate which statistics would be used to analyze the data in the alternate design.
F. Under what conditions would you opt for the alternative design you have discussed in Item E?
