PSY-530 – Social Psychology

Research Paper Proposals

Throughout the program, you should be thinking of a research topic you would like to explore. In the capstone course (PSY-693), you will create a research proposal. To assist you in the creation of that proposal, you will decide on a research topic and begin collecting empirical studies to support the need for research. Your topic must relate to a basic social psychological principle; however it can fall into one of the applied subfields (forensic psychology, psychology of religion, industrial organization, health psychology, etc.).

For this assignment you will create your research question and at least five scholarly, peer reviewed, empirical studies, all from the past 5 to 7 years. Your articles must support the need for your research.

The following information will assist in the formation of your research question and the beginning collection of literature:

1. Use the empirical checklist (located in course materials) to assure your article is an empirical article.

2. Explore the Center for Innovation in Research and Teaching (cirt.gcu.edu) for information on research topics and literature reviews. From the main page, under Research Development – click on Research Ready. Each section has several bits of information to help formulate your research. Additionally on the right hand side under Development Resources, explore Research Tutorials. This section will assist you in creating your research questions and further information on literature reviews.

Prepare a document that includes your research question(s), including how your research will add to the current research in your chosen field. Your document will include five scholarly, peer reviewed, empirical studies from the past 5 to 7 years. This section should include APA formatted citations for each article, including permalink; additionally a short annotation for each article stating how the literature shows your research is needed.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a scoring guide. Please review the scoring guide prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Preparation

We suggest you use an organizing tool from the Capella University Library: More Services and Tools page, such as RefWorks, to help you keep track of your articles. Refer to the helpful links in Resources.

Terms to know for this post:

  • Current research article: This can vary depending on the nature of the LSQ; for most searches you must seek articles published in the last five years. For some topics, this restriction may not apply—for example, if writing about psychoanalysis, you will want to cite Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, who published beginning in the late 19th century until his death in 1940. In cases where the restriction does not apply, provide a rationale for choosing an older article.
  • Purpose: The purpose of a research proposal is to propose strategies for answering the research question (RQ). The purpose of a theoretical discussion is to outline the nature of a scientific dilemma and consider premises for opposing views as well as to offer possible opinions and solutions to the problem.
  • Qualitative investigation: This non-empirical type of inquiry seeks socially constructed descriptions of abstract phenomena.
  • Quantitative investigation: Quantitative investigations are empirical inquiries that seek answers to research questions that can be presented in numerical form.
  • Research problem: This is also referred to as the gap in the literature. Identify for each article the area of the literature that the scientists publishing their research have identified as needing further exploration. The problem refers to the challenges that the scientific community has in identifying and developing strategies for the discovery of new knowledge.
  • Research question: Presented in the form of a question, it represents the foundational inquiry of the article as well as the goal of the research project that has been described in the journal article. The research question drives the investigation and signals whether the project is qualitative or quantitative. Your RQ is not the same as your LSQ.
  • Seminal article: This is an article or text that has shaped the history of the field. An example in psychology is Milgram’s 1965 “Some Conditions of Obedience and Disobedience to Authority,” published in Human Relations, which caused research on obedience to develop in new directions and challenged long-held belief systems.

Instructions

Develop and post an annotated bibliography that identifies sources that will help you to answer your literature search question (LSQ).

For this discussion:

  • Put your proposed LSQ in interrogative form at the top of the annotated bibliography.
  • Include a minimum of 10 articles in your annotated bibliography, eight of which should be other than those identified in your Unit 1 discussion post.
    • To choose these articles, it is likely that you will have to read many more than 10 articles. An annotated bibliography involves culling the articles that do not support your LSQ.
    • Be sure to select articles published within five years that reflect current knowledge of the topic. For some topics, the use of articles older than five years is appropriate—include a one-sentence rationale for using an older article if this is the case.
    • For easy reference, be sure to number each entry in the annotated bibliography.
  • Upload your discussion post as a Word document set in 12-point Times New Roman, with all sources cited in current APA style and format. In addition, please copy and paste the document content into the message box for your post submission.
Research Articles

For each research journal article selected, discuss how it relates to your LSQ:

  • Identify the authors’ research question.
  • Identify the research problem that the authors hope to resolve.
  • Identify the methods used by the authors to investigate the research question.
  • Identify the results the researchers noted in the discussion of the reported research.
  • Explain why you chose the article and how it will help to answer the LSQ.
  • Identify whether the article is chosen for its usefulness in terms of theory of method, theory of content, or for both content and method.
Theoretical Articles

For each theoretical journal article selected discuss how it relates to your LSQ:

  • Identify the contentions of the authors—the research question, if applicable.
  • Identify the problem under discussion and methods used for developing their claims, premises, and suppositions.
  • Explain why you believe that this article will help to answer the LSQ.
  • Identify whether the article is chosen for its utility in terms of theory of method, theory of content, or for both content and method.
Example

Binnewies, C., Sonnentag, S., & Mojza, E. J. (2009). Feeling recovered and thinking about the good sides of one’s work. Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, 14(3), 243–256.

Since work conditions are a critical part of employee satisfaction, fostering positive thoughts and feelings can support an individual’s sense of self. In this study, reflecting positively on work increased positive behaviors in employees and their sense of “organizational citizenship” (p. 243). It was also found that reflecting on work in a positive manner, such as in a relaxed state, had a healthy positive outcome, allowing employees to manage their stress more effectively. This study is an example of Bandura’s notion of self-efficacy and how our positive physiological and mental states can influence our own self-efficacy. This article relates to my proposed Integrated Project in terms of both methodology and content.

Consider your own expectations.      Do they align with what the content and outside sources suggest about the      characteristics of these generational groups?

/in /by

Chapter 10, as well as your required resources, address employee attitudes and suggest that an increase in job performance is reliant on job satisfaction. The authors of our text suggest that highly satisfying jobs are more complex, requiring the worker to utilize a variety of skills and to deal with unpredictable situations (i.e. teaching, managing, engineering, etc.), unlike jobs where the work is repetitive and less thought-provoking (general laborers, factory workers, and the like). In addition, the work expectations are suggested to differ based on generations, which may likely also affect job satisfaction.

  • Consider the generation you      fall into, based on the text:
  • The       Traditionalists or Matures
  • The Baby       Boomers
  • Generation X
  • Generation Y       or the Millennials
  • Generation Z
  • Consider your own expectations.      Do they align with what the content and outside sources suggest about the      characteristics of these generational groups?
  • Applying this component (work      expectations), consider you own goals for going back to school. Do your      goals align with these expectations?
  • Do you think your      educational/career goals align with the suggestions about job      satisfaction? Do you desire to obtain a higher-level thinking career? If      so, why? If not, why not?
  • After analyzing all of the      factors, what do you think the implications might be on an organization’s      productivity with the evolving employee expectations, need for work-life      balance, and job satisfaction?
  • Do you think       we will see changes in the future of how organizations achieve these       goals? How?
  • Consider a goal you might      assign to a group at your work, the organization where you volunteer, or      other potential organization. (Examples: (a) to decrease the errors in      timecard submissions, or (b) to successfully submit a group project      to the instructor.) Applying Chapter 9, what potential strategies would be      important to consider to assist a diverse multi-generational team in      deciding on possible strategies and successfully meeting the goal?

Your initial post should be between 350 and 400 words.

Discussion Topic – Life Without Fear and Anxiety

SM has no fear, she lives entirely without this one emotion due to a rare medical condition.  One might reason that her life should be perfect, but it is not. According to psychologist Paul Ekman, all humans are born with six basic emotions: anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, and surprise.

You can read more about other and more global ideas of what the range of emotions are here:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/hide-and-seek/201601/what-are-basic-emotions

After you have contemplated being hardwired with a set of six emotions, read the transcript to this podcast about SM–scroll down to the second mention of “This is INVISIBILIA” if you are short on time and go from there.  Then, speculate and discuss why we need fear and anxiety, how it can cause us mental distress, but also how it shapes a healthy life. What do you think her existence is like without one of the basic emotions? How might it affect your parenting, driving, crossing the street and do forth? Finally, If you could chose to eliminate one of your emotions, which one would it be and why?

How does this treatment differ from a cognitive-behavioral approach? How would a CBT therapist have treated this woman? Be as specific as possible, using examples from the video to “re-treat” her using CBT, and explain how CBT differs from Yalom’s humanistic approach.

Then, reflect on one of the humanistic credos “It is the relationship that heals.” Yalom felt that he should have a therapeutic relationship with his clients that was highly authentic, consisting of deep caring and empathy, even if the client was a criminal – he called that unconditional positive regard. What kinds of barriers might you have to get past to give others unconditional positive regard if you were treating clients in a prison setting?
