Conduct research and locate two peer-reviewed articles to support your statements. In your post

  • Explain the symptoms of the disorder.
  • Describe how the diagnosis is made (e.g., findings on brain imaging, laboratory testing, etc.).
  • Discuss the neurobiological basis for the disorder (e.g., CNS structures involved and neurotransmitters).
  • Describe the functional deficits associated with the disorder including how these may impact the patient’s ability to carry out activities of daily living (e.g., occupational, social, recreational).
  • Cite your sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center .

Guided Response: Review several of your colleagues’ posts and respond to at least two of your peers by 11:59 p.m. on Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies earlier in the week to promote more meaningful interactive discourse in this discussion.

Your response must include a description of the current treatment options, both pharmaceutical (including mechanism of action for any drug therapies) and behavioral (based on the functional deficits associated with the disorder) that are available for the disorder your peer described. You must use a minimum of two peer-reviewed sources in your response.

Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST) on Day 7 of the week and respond to anyone who replies to your initial post.

Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your discussion.

Discussion 2

Read Chapter 3 of the text and watch the Connect video “How the Misinformation Effect Influences Memories.” In your initial post, address the following:

  • Reflect on an occasion when your recollection of a particular memory became less accurate because of post-event information. What were the contributing factors?
  • In what ways has the explosion of technology and media/social media contributed to how the misinformation effect has become more prevalent in today’s world?
  • Suggestibility (the influence of others’ expectations on our memory) and misattribution (information attributed to an incorrect source) raise several ethical concerns. What are some that you can think of?

Assignment: Article Review and Critique

By now, you should be aware that the findings from a research study are only part of the story. As a consumer, hoping to inform practice by use of an evidence base, you want to know much more.  A sound research study includes all the steps highlighted in previous weeks: reviewing existing literature, focusing a research question, choosing a qualitative or quantitative method for answering the question, designing the study including selection of data collection procedures and/or measures, procedures used, data analysis plan, and findings. In addition, the study commonly discusses how ethical concerns were addressed and acknowledges the limitations of the study. For this assignment, you review a published research study with two purposes in mind:

 

o   Observing the structure and content of the article

o   Comparing the content of the article to the recommended content of sections for a research study.

 

submit a 7-8 page critique and review of the article, which includes the title page and the reference list. Follow the guidelines below:

 

1.      Use the quantitative or qualitative research article that you located and that your instructor approved as part of the Week 5 assignment.

2.      Provide an APA reference for the article you select.

3.      If you selected a quantitative research study, use the “Quantitative Article Review and Critique. If you selected a qualitative study, use the “Qualitative Article Review and Critique.” Respond to all the questions.

 

 

Quantitative Article Review and Critique

In approximately 7-8 pages (including title page and references), address the

following questions.

Title

• After reading the entire article, do you think the title adequately describes

the study? Does the title catch your attention? Please explain.

Abstract

• Does the abstract contain the recommended content (see “Abstract,”

pp. 210–211, in Yegidis et al.)? How difficult do you think it is to

summarize so much information in 150–250 words? Please explain.

Introduction

• Why did the authors conduct this study and write this article? What was the

problem of interest or concern? Be specific. Use quotes and paraphrases

with citations. What audience might be interested in this study?

• Do you feel the problem is significant enough to warrant a journal article?

Did you have a “so what” reaction? If so, why do you think it was accepted

for publication? Please justify your position.

• To what extent does the literature presented in the introduction help you

understand the problem? How does the literature reviewed put the problem

in context? Be specific.

• Does the researcher indicate how this research is different from and/or

similar to earlier ones reported in the literature? Summarize what this

article intends to add to the knowledge base.

• Do the authors state their research questions and/or hypotheses? What

are the hypotheses or focused research questions?

Methods

• What specific quantitative method is used? How does a quantitative

research design corresponds with the research questions or hypotheses?

Can you determine whether the design was appropriate?

To what extent can the design answer the research questions or

address the stated hypotheses? Elaborate.

• What were the variables under study? If relevant, identify the main dependent

and independent variables. If not relevant, why are there no dependent and

independent variables? What instruments or observations were used in the

research? Explain why you do, or do not, think that the methods used to

collect the data are described clearly enough to allow for replication. Be

specific and please elaborate.

• Explain whether or not information was provided concerning the reliability and

validity of these instruments or observations. Was this information adequate?

How does the presence or absence of information about reliability and validity

affect your confidence in the quality of the study? What have the authors

done to address or strengthen internal validity? Be specific.

Sample

• How were the participants recruited or selected for the study? What sampling

strategy was used? Is the sample large enough to address the hypotheses

and research questions? Did the author(s) offer any justification for the

sample size? Are you satisfied with the information reported about the

sample? What questions might you have about the sample that were not

addressed? Please be sure to provide an explanation for all of your answers.

• Are the demographics of the participants (e.g., background characteristics

such as age, race, etc.) described in sufficient detail? If so, how is the

presentation of this descriptive data useful in evaluating the research? If not,

please explain how that may affect the evaluation of the research.

• Was the sample reflective of the population from which it was drawn? Is

representativeness important in this research? Please explain.

• Please explain any ethical concerns you may have about the sample and how

the sample was recruited.

Results

• How were the data analyzed? (What statistical techniques were used?)

Be specific.

• Explain how easy or difficult it was for you to understand the reporting of

results. What questions do you have after reading the results section? Please

elaborate.

• Do you feel the results of this study have meaning for social

work practitioners or managers? Please elaborate.

Discussion

• Explain whether or not the authors made sense of their data in the discussion

section. Explain why you think the conclusions are (or are not) reasonable.

• Did the authors discuss the limitations of their study? Did they stay within

the limitations of their findings, or did they make more of their findings than

was warranted? Please elaborate.

• Did the author(s) suggest issues that future research should consider? If

so, were there any surprises? Please elaborate

Be sure to include the questions in your critique. This will cause your Turnitin report to show high similarity to other students’ papers. However, do not be concerned about that. Do, however, appropriately paraphrase and cite specific details from the article you review.
