Psychology Research assignment

R​‌‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍​esearch Paper The required sections of the paper are: Introduction/Review of Literature, Summary & Conclusions, Mock Research Proposal/Methods, and References. 1. Introduction/Review of Literature The Introduction should be a paragraph (or two) noting why this topic is relevant, important (and/or of interest to you). You will do a brief literature search (at least 10 articles from peer-reviewed journals) and give a brief overview of significant findings of these articles. The Review of Literature is essentially an analysis and synthesis of the articles you read on your chosen topic. In this section you should review previous studies (this involves a brief literature search). For each article reviewed in your paper, you should indicate at least 2 limitations of the study/findings (design flaws or methodological shortcomings of other studies, such as population limitations, issues with generalizability, etc.). At the end of this section, you will introduce your mock proposal in light of questions any of these studies left unanswered. For example, your might address previous design flaws or methodological shortcomings of other studies (e.g., population limitations, issues with generalizability, etc.) in designing your mock proposal. 2. Summary of the literature & Conclusions about further work needed on the subject. This section should be a few paragraphs (two or three) that pull together the information from the literature review section of the paper (e.g., general findings, any major disagreements). This section is not a summary of findings from your mock research. 3. Mock Research Proposal This is not a study that you will conduct, but it might be a study that you would like to conduct in the future if you had the opportunity (so consider this a hypothetical study). You will need to write a statement of Hypothesis. In this 1-3 sentence statement, you will explain what results you would expect to find if you were to co​‌‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍​nduct your mock research proposal. The reason for your expectation should be clear in light of your review of the research. Concepts and terms (e.g., recidivism, relapse, etc.) should be defined/explained clearly as soon as they are introduced. Your Mock Research Proposal should be approximately three (3) pages in length, and it should give a clear overview of how you will test your hypothesis. It consists of the types of information usually found in the Methods section of a study including: a description of proposed participants (e.g., males, prisoners, clinical sample, adolescents, etc.), proposed procedures (e.g., are they assigned to a treatment group, is this a retrospective study involving a folder review, are you conducting a survey, etc.), proposed measures (e.g., surveys, assessment devices), etc. You will not have actual findings to discuss. We will examine empirical studies in class, and this should help to assist you in writing this section. ?. Your proposed study must be consistent with IRB Guidelines. To ensure this, you must complete the on-line CITI human subject research course before your paper is submitted for grading. The course may be accessed at: https://www.citiprogram.org/ You will register for the CITI Human Subject Research course, indicate City University of New York as your organization affiliation, and complete registration. The course takes about 2 hours to complete but it does not have to be completed in one sitting. You can complete part of it, save it, and return to complete it later. Once you have completed and passed the course, submit the completion certificate to Professor Wapner. Failure to do so will affect your grade for the paper. 4. References You will use APA format to list your sources in this section. Although you must use 10 journal articles for this paper, in this section you should include other sources that you have used (e.g., websites, news and magazine articles)​‌‍‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‌‍‍‍​.
