Identify the type of qualitative research approach used and explain how the researchers implemented the design. Analyze alignment among the theoretical or conceptual framework, problem, purpose, research questions, and design.

Just as in quantitative research, when researchers set out to design a qualitative research study, they are guided by its purpose, and their research questions align with their selected approach and the data that will be collected.

As you learned in previous weeks, alignment means that a research study possesses clear and logical connections among all of its various components. In addition to considering alignment, qualitative researchers must also consider the ethical implications of their design choice, including, for example, what their choice means for participant recruitment, procedures, and privacy.

For this Discussion, you will evaluate qualitative research questions in assigned journal articles in your discipline and consider the alignment of theory, problem, purpose, research questions, and design. You will also identify the type of qualitative research design or approach the authors used and explain how it was implemented. Narrative, ethnographic, grounded theory, case study, and phenomenology are examples of types of research designs or approaches used in qualitative research.

 

Post a critique of the research study in which you:

  • Evaluate the research questions and hypotheses.The Research Questions and Hypotheses Checklist serves as a guide for your evaluation. Please do not respond to the checklist in a Yes/No format in writing your Discussion post.
  • Identify the type of qualitative research approach used and explain how the researchers implemented the design.
  • Analyze alignment among the theoretical or conceptual framework, problem, purpose, research questions, and design.

Be sure to support your Main Issue Post and Response Post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style.

Visit the website of The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, an organization dedicated to altruistic pursuits.

Review the information, literature, and downloadable documents.

Design your own assignment in which you implement five acts of kindness (pro-social behavior). Use your discretion, common sense, and modesty at all times. Do not put yourself in an environment of potential danger or harm.

Write a paper of 500-750 words, in which you:

  1. Describe      your implementation of kindness: what did you do, how did you approach the      idea, where did you implement it and to whom?
  2. Describe      the reactions you perceived from others and yourself.
  3. Describe      what you learned about prosocial behavior from this exercise. Compare the      actual application of the behavior relative to this topic material.
  4. If      you are a faith-based person, explain how your faith helped you implement      your helping behavior. If you are not a faith-based person, explain what      philosophy, belief system, or values you connected to helping behavior.

PSY-362 Social Psychology and Cultural Applications

Stanford Prison Experiment

Directions: Answer each of the questions below with a minimum of 200-words. Use scholarly research to support your answers. Include APA in-text citations in your answers where necessary and list your reference at the end of the document.

1. Do you think that kids from an urban working-class environment would have broken down emotionally in the same way as did the middle-class prisoners? Why? What do you suppose the outcome would have been if women were used a prisoners and guards instead of men? Explain.

2. While the Stanford Prison experiment is considered unethical, what usefulness has come from the experimental outcomes? Was it right to trade the suffering experienced by participants for the knowledge gained by the research? Explain how the experiment and consequently the suffering has added to current research in the field of social psychology.

3. Knowing what this research says about the power of prison situations to have a corrosive effect on human nature, what recommendations would you make about changing the correctional system in your country?

Please no plagiarism and make sure you are able to access all resources on your own before you bid. Main references come from American Psychiatric Association. (2013) and/or Kress, V. E., & Paylo, M. J. (2019). You need to have scholarly support for any claim of fact or recommendation regarding treatment. Grammar, Writing, and APA Format: I expect you to write professionally, which means APA format, complete sentences, proper paragraphs, and well-organized and well-documented presentation of ideas. Remember to use scholarly research from peer-reviewed articles that are current. Sources such as Wikipedia, Ask.com, PsychCentral, and similar sites are never acceptable. Please remember that resources used must be from peer-reviewed resources such as academic journals. The assigned textbook and the DSM-5 are required for all assignments (i.e., cite and reference the textbook and DSM-5 in every assignment). As a general rule, web sites are not peer-reviewed except those which are online journal articles. Therefore, it is advisable for you to avoid using these websites as resources. Walden Library offers many peer-reviewed articles which pertain to the topics covered. While not required to use these articles, you should select a couple which you find interesting and which support your critical thinking and analysis.

Please follow the instructions to get full credit for the discussion. Please look at all the attachments. I need this completed by 10/07/20 at 5pm.

Discussion – Week 6

Diagnosis of Andrew

This week, you have an opportunity to put your diagnostic skills to practice while also receiving feedback from your peers. In real-world counseling practice, case consultation and staff discussions are essential to sound mental health practice, so it is important to feel comfortable giving and receiving feedback related to diagnosis.

To prepare for the Discussion:

  • Review this week’s Learning Resources.
  • To assist with your understanding with what should be      included in a case conceptualization, review the case study of Caden      provided in the Learning Resources.
  • Read Andrew’s case study in Kress and Paylo (2019).
  • Assess and diagnose Andrew.

By Day 3

Post a brief summary of Andrew using the following format:

  • Case Conceptualization (Include specific information about client      symptoms and presenting concerns.)
  • Diagnostic Impressions (Be sure to use the ICD-10 code,      name of the disorder, and all specifiers.)
  • Rationale for Diagnostic Impressions (Include the diagnostic impressions using      the DSM-5 to link the client’s symptoms to the diagnostic      criteria for each diagnosis that you render. If you do not render a      diagnosis, you still must use the DSM-5 to explain why      you chose not to render a diagnosis.)

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.
