Assignment 2: Final Project: Sampling 2
Based on the feedback you received on your submission from
last week, submit a revised draft of your paper with this additional
information:
1.Five additional references that could be used for your
research paper and include a 1-2 sentence description for each of the five
additional references, explaining how they fit with the research topic and the
research question proposed. Make sure that these references come from scholarly
sources using Argosy's library resources.
2.A very detailed
outline of what you would like to cover in the intro/lit review of your paper.
Write it as an outline and think about what you want each paragraph or section
to cover. Paste your references into each section where the information from
that article applies to the topic. Below is an example of the outline although
the references have not been pasted in yet:
a.Introduction or Statement of the Problem (e.g. Predictors
of Depression in Men)
i.Research question (E.g. What factors predict depression in
men? For example, age, marital status, family history, stressors).
ii.Why is it important/implications (E.g. xx% of men are depressed; less likely
to seek treatment; if we can identify who is at risk, may be able to direct
them to treatment sooner)
iii.Revised hypothesis based on feedback from the instructor
b.Review of the Literature (the following is an example for
above topic):
i.Brief description of depression, symptoms, and any unique
symptoms for men (Cite articles from which you will obtain this information).
ii.How widespread is it? Stats on depression in general but
also stats on depression in men (Cite articles from which you will obtain this
information)
iii.List factors that put men at
risk for depression (Cite articles).
1.Difficulty communicating distress or sadness (Cite
articles).
2.Job/work pressures (Cite articles).
iv.Demographic characteristics (Cite articles).
1.Relationship between age and depression (Cite articles).
2.Relationship between marital status and depression (Cite
articles).
3.A 1-2 page description of the sample you would like to use
for your study, that provides the answer to the following questions:
a.What sampling technique would you use?
b.Does the sample generalize to the population? Explain why
or why not.
c.What inclusion criteria would be used? What exclusion
criteria would be used, if any?
d.What ethical issues might be encountered when collecting
your information from this sample?
4.Be sure to also submit all your ten references (the five
from last week and the five new ones you added) in an APA-style reference page.
Be sure to also include an APA-style title page with your submission. Your
paper should be at least 2-3 pages long. Make sure you write in a clear,
concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate
representation and attribution of sources; display accurate spelling, grammar,
and punctuation.
Submit your assignment to the M2: Assignment 2 Dropbox by
Wednesday, April 8, 2015. All written assignments and responses should follow
APA rules for attributing sources.
