Research Proposal In Psychology Topic

/0 Comments/in , /by

One of the topics is Motivation, Domestic abuse, Depression, etc
Writing a Scientific Research Proposal. Final Proposal due on or before 5/12
Please scroll down for Final Template
A research proposal has three main points:
1) Explanation of proposed research (what will be done)
2) Methods and techniques to be employed (how it will be done)
3) Novelty and/or importance of the study (why it should be done)

  1. Title

This should provide a specific summary of the proposed work

  1. II) Abstract (PART II)

 One paragraph that allowing the quick and accurate assessment of the basic premise of the proposal in 250 words or less.
III. Introduction and Literature Review
Your first sentence of the introduction should identify the research problem. This
sentence or two should address why the research is important and what you are hoping
to accomplish. What is the problem under investigation?
Next, you should complete a literature review. Your review of the literature should only
include the 5 articles you select. The more recent the better. Through the use of previous research, you should develop the general background of the research problem and identify research holes to show how your experiment can further research in the field. Make sure you
include your hypothesis in this section, as well as, the independent and dependent
variables.
Lastly, identify your research design. You should begin with the basics of your research topic and then narrow the focus of those details that are especially pertinent to the proposed work. Present what is currently known in the field in terms of motivation and how these discoveries were made. This is the place to show what is interesting and cutting-edge in the field that led to your research idea. You are laying the groundwork for your proposal with the material that you present.

  1. Method

In this section you should discuss how you are going to meet the goals discussed in the
introduction. This portion of the proposal is broken down further into questions you
should answer within each subsection.
Research Hypothesis
What is the hypothesis that you are testing? What are the questions that you seek to answer? Based on what is known in this field, explain what you expect to see and hope to show through your result? This is where you share your thoughts.
Dependent Variable:
*What behavior are you going to measure?
*How often are you going to measure the behavior?
*What is the type of observation?
*What is the recording method? How will data be recorded?
Independent Variable/Subject Variable:
*What are you going to manipulate?
*Describe (in detail) the levels of the independent variable.
*What variables are controlled?
*How are they presented?
*How long will they be presented?
*What instructions will the participant receive?
*Who will give the instructions?
*Who will be present when the behavior is measured?
Material
Describe your proposed experiment in depth. What processes are you going to use? What kind of equipment and supplies will be necessary for the project? What will you use for a control, and what will be your replicate? Be thorough, but not excessive. It might be useful to construct an outline before completing this section, as this will give you an idea of what should be occurring when, and if your goals are attainable in the given time.
Participants
*Who are your participants going to be? (i.e., What is the gender, age education, race,
etc. of your participants?)
*How many participants are you going to have?
*How are you going to recruit them?
*How are you going to assign them to groups?
*How are you going to compensate them?
*What criteria will you use for participation in your project?
Apparatus/Materials
*What apparatus are you going to use?
*What materials are you going to use?
*Are you going to administer any psychological tests? If so, which ones?
*Are there any special supplies you require?
*Do you need an apparatus or device to observe or record behavior?
Procedure
*What is your research design?
*What will happen in your experiment?
*Where is your study going to take place? (Describe where the data will be collected)
Your sentence structure should look something like this:
“According to Thullen et al. (1999), nitrate removal rates were highest in those wetlands that contained a divers number of plants species.”
“Within organisms cellular nitrogen generally exists as either ammonia-nitrogen or amino-nitrogen, which are the most reduced forms of nitrogen (Delwiche, 1981).”
Never leave your reader in doubt as to the source of your information. Cite thoroughly and cite properly. You only have 5 sources to pull from, so make sure they’re inter-related and usable.
 

  1. Conclusion and Justification (PART II)

Your literature review will have already helped to lead the reader to an understanding of why your topic is of importance. This is where you will explicitly state how your proposed research will advance knowledge. What are the far-reaching effects? Will your study potentially change practices or policies? Why is it that your research deserves funding? Why should we care about your study? Convince the reader why this study belongs in the scholarly literature.
 

  1. Reference

Include the 5 resources that were used in the writing of the paper. Follow APA guidelines for formatting.
VII. Presentation (PART II)
APA style followed throughout (look it up) and clear evidence of proofreading
VIII. Submission (PART II)
Be sure it’s turned in by or before 5/12
 
***A note on Voice:
There is no one format for voice in scientific writing. Active voice is usually encouraged (use of “I” or “We”), but in practice many writers switch between active and passive voice to keep the writing from becoming too repetitive.
Important Points to Remember
-An organized, well-written, concise, complete proposal = an easier to conduct experiment
-A good proposal is like a good sales pitch. In the world of graduate studies and scientific
research a proposal is the means by which funding is secured.
-Good writing when paired with a thorough understanding of the subject matter is a valuable skill to possess.

Formulating Excellent Research Proposal

/0 Comments/in /by

Writing Research Proposal.
Required
Formulate an excellent rseearch proposal.
Writing a good research proposal requires you to understand why people write bad research proposals.
There many reasons why reserach proposals are rejected.
Common rejection reasons
The National Institute of Health (NIH) analyzed the reasons why over 700 research proposal applications were denied. Their findings as to the cause of rejection are worth reviewing in light of your own proposal:

  1. Nature of the Problem (18%)
    1. It is doubtful that new or useful information
      will result from the project (14%).
    2. The basic hypothesis is unsound (3.5%).
    3. The proposed research is scientifically premature due to the present inadequacy of supporting knowledge (0.6%).
  1. Approach to the Problem (38.9%)
  2. The research plan is nebulous, diffuse and not presented in concrete detail (8.6%).
    1. The planned research is not adequately controlled (3.7%).
    1. Greater care in planning is needed (25.2%).
      1. The research plan has not been carefully designed (11.8%).
      2. The proposed methods will not yield accurate results (8.8%).
      3. The procedures to be used should be spelled out
      in more detail (4.6%).
    2. A more thorough statistical treatment is needed (0.7%).
    3. The proposed tests require more individual subjects
      than the number given (0.7%).
  • Competence of the Investigators (38.2%)
    • . The applicants need to acquire greater familiarity with the pertinent literature (7.2%).
    1. The problems to be investigated are more complex than the
      applicants realize (10.5%).
    2. The applicants propose to enter an area of research for which
      they are not adequately trained (12.8%).
    3. The principal investigator intends to give actual responsibility
      for the direction of a complex project to an inexperienced
      co-investigator (0.9%).
    4. The reviewers do not have sufficient confidence in the applicants
      to approve the present application, largely based on the past
      efforts of the applicants (6.8%).
  1. Conditions of the Research Environment (4.8%)
    • . The investigators will be required to devote too much time to
      teaching or other non-research duties (0.9%).
    1. Better liaison is needed with colleagues in collateral disciplines (0.4%).
    2. Requested expansion on continuation of a currently supported research project would result in failure to achieve the main goal of the work (3.5%).

Based on the above analysis,
a carefully designed, well reasoned proposal will overcome these common pitfalls. It also represents and important credibility statement about the investigator.
The Bureau of Occupational and Vocational Education comparable study.
Based on a sample of 353 research grant applications:
— 18% forgot to number the pages.
— 73% forgot to include a table of contents.
— 81% had no abstract.
— 92% failed to provide resumes of proposed consultants.
— 25% had no resume for the principal investigator.
— 66% included no plan for project evaluation.
— 17% forgot to identify the project director by name.
— 20% failed to list the objectives of the project.

 Instructions: Applying Research Skills
Create a 3-5-page annotated bibliography and summary based on your research related to best practices addressing
one of the health care problems or issues in the Assessment Topic Areas media piece faced by a health care
organization that is of interest to you.
Introduction
In your professional life, you will need to find credible evidence to support your decisions and your plans of action.
You will want to keep abreast of best practices to help your organization adapt to the ever-changing health care
environment. Being adept at research will help you find the information you need. For this assessment, you will
review the Assessment Topic Areas media piece and select one of the health care problems or issues to research a
current health care problem or issue faced by a health care organization that is of interest to you.
Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies
through the following assessment scoring guide criteria:
Competency 1: Apply information literacy and library research skills to obtain scholarly information in the field
of health care.
Identify academic peer-reviewed journal articles relevant to a health care problem or issue and describe
the criteria used for the literature search.
Competency 2: Apply scholarly information through critical thinking to solve problems in the field of health
care.
Assess the credibility and relevance of information sources.
Summarize what was learned from developing an annotated bibliography.

format.
Competency 4: Write for a specific audience, in appropriate tone and style, in accordance with Capella’s
writing standards.
Summarize a health care problem or issue and describe a personal interest in it and experience with it.
Write clearly and logically, with correct use of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and mechanics.
Write following APA style for in-text citations, quotes, and references.
Instructions
Note: The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. At a minimum, be
sure to address each point. In addition, you are encouraged to review the performance-level descriptions for each
criterion to see how your work will be assessed.
For this assessment, research best practices related to a current health care problem. Your selected problem or issue
will be utilized again in Assessment 3. To explore your chosen topic, you should use the first two steps of the
Socratic Problem-Solving Approach to aid your critical thinking.
1. View the Assessment Topic Areas media piece and select one of the health care problems or issues in the
media piece to research. Write a brief overview of the selected topic. In your overview:
Summarize the health care problem or issue.
Describe your interest in the topic.
Describe any professional experience you have with this topic.
2. Identify peer-reviewed articles relevant to health care issue or problem.
Conduct a search for scholarly or academic peer-reviewed literature related to the topic and describe
the criteria you used to search for articles, including the names of the databases you used. You will
select four current scholarly or academic peer-reviewed journal articles published during the past 3–5
years that relate to your topic.
You will want to access the applicable Undergraduate Library Research Guide related to your
degree (found at the NHS Learner Success Lab) for tips to help you in your search.
Use keywords related to the health care problem or issue you are researching to select relevant articles.
3. Assess the credibility and explain relevance of the information sources you find.
Determine if the source is from an academic peer-reviewed journal.
Determine if the publication is current.
Determine if information in the academic peer-reviewed journal article is still relevant.
4. Analyze academic peer-reviewed journal articles using the annotated bibliography organizational format.
Provide rationale for inclusion of each selected article. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to
document a list of references along with key information about each one. The detail about the reference is the
annotation. Developing this annotated bibliography will create a foundation of knowledge about the selected
topic. In your annotated bibliography:
Identify the purpose of the article.
Summarize the information.
Provide rationale for inclusion of each article.
Include the conclusions and findings of the article.
Write your annotated bibliography in a paragraph form. The annotated bibliography should be
approximately 150 words (1–3 paragraphs) in length.
List the full reference for the source in APA format (author, date, title, publisher, et cetera) and use APA
format for the annotated bibliography.
Make sure the references are listed in alphabetical order, are double-spaced, and use hanging indents.
5. Summarize what you have learned from developing an annotated bibliography.
Summarize what you learned from your research in a separate paragraph or two at the end of the
paper.
List the main points you learned from your research.
Summarize the main contributions of the sources you chose and how they enhanced your knowledge
about the topic.
