Using the PG Library, you will also find and summarize a research article about a study employing an experimental design.Be sure to address the following in your paper:Part 1. Describe Experimental DesignsDescribe major features and the role of error in between-subjects designs, including the following designs:Single-factor randomized group designsRandomized multi-group designsMatched-group designsDescribe major features of and the role of error in within-subjects design.Explain when it would be appropriate to use a within-subjects design.Describe major features of and the role of error in single-subject designs.Part 2. Summarize a Research Article Employing an Experimental DesignUsing the PG Library, identify a research article in a peer-reviewed journal. Summarize the article, focusing on the design. Be sure to address the following:Summarize the research topic and question.Identify the specific experimental design the researchers applied.Summarize the methodology, including participants, measures, and basic procedures.Summarize the major findings of the study.The Assignment should:Utilize a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources outside of your textbook to support your paper.Follow Assignment directions (review grading rubric for best results).Use correct APA formatting per the current APA Publication Manual.Demonstrate college-level communication through the composition of original materials in Standard English.Be written in Standard English and be clear, specific, and error-free.Your paper should include:Title PageMain Body of the paperReference Page3-5 Pages in lengthSubmitting your AssignmentPut your Assignment in a Word document. Save it in a location that you will remember and with your full name along with the class number. When you are ready to submit it to the unit Dropbox. You should revisit the Dropbox to view any helpful feedback your instructor has left for youThe time has come to examine the types of between-subjects designs available to you. We begin with single-factor designs, in which you manipulate only one independent variable.The Single-Factor Randomized-Groups DesignIn single-factor randomized-groups designs, you assign your subjects at random to different groups. You then expose each group to a different level of your independent variable while otherwise treating them as alike as possible. There are two variants of the randomized-groups design: the randomized two-group design and the randomized multigroup design. We explore these designs next.The Randomized Two-Group Design  If you randomly assign your subjects to two groups, expose the two groups to different levels of the independent variable, and take steps to hold extraneous variables constant, you are using a randomized two-group design. Figure10-1 illustrates the basic steps to follow when conducting a randomized two-group experiment. Begin by sampling a group of subjects from the general popu-lation (top). Then, randomly assign the participants from this group into your two treatment groups. Next, expose the participants in each group to their treatments and record their responses. Compare the two means to determine whether they differ. Finally, submit the data to a statistical analysis to assess the reliability of any differ-ence you find.An experiment conducted by Jo-Ann Tsang (2006) provides an excellent example of an experiment using a randomized two-group design. Tsang was interested in inves-tigating whether gratitude resulted in more prosocial behavior than mere positive emo-tion. Participants in Tsang’s experiment were told that they would be playing a game in which they would be allocating resources to another participant in the study (in reality, there was no other participant). Participants were told further that the game would be played in three rounds. Resource allocations were made by writing down an amount of money to allocate to the fictitious participant on a slip of paper, which would be taken to the fictitious participant by the experimenter.Tsang (2006) randomly assigned the real participants to one of two conditions. In the “favor condition,” participants were told that their partner had allocated $9 of $10 to them and kept $1 for himself in the second round. They were also given a note

Scenario Paper Assignment InstructionsIn this assignment you will find yourself in various countries as a criminal! In the scenario and analysis you create you will truly be an international criminal. The “crime” committed can be of your choosing is long as it is illegal in the country we are studying.  You will find that this very deep dive into the criminal justice systems of each country we study will help you become a world criminal justice system expert.The following is your prompt for the setting of your paper:1) You are a US Citizen that is travelling to the country we are studying2) You arrive at the country3) You commit a crimea. Make the crime interesting enough to write aboutb. Make the crime of a nature that you will work through the country’s criminal justice systemc. Do not get caught up in the detail of the crime at the expense of the analysis – this will lead to failure of the assignment!4) You are caught by the country’s law enforcement officers5) You do not have diplomatic immunity and the country is balking at any means of negotiation with the US for your release from the crime and subsequent punishmentThe following is an outline of what you should cover in your paper:1) Begin your paper with a brief analysis of the following elements:a. Country analysisi. Introduction to the countryii. People and society of the countryiii. Economyiv. Transnational issues (if applicable) that may impact law enforcementv. Relations with the United Statesb. What is the basic government structure and its relationship to the criminal justice systemc. What is the “legal family” or basis of law in the countryd. What are the major components of the criminal justice system in the country2) Please explain the following elements:a. What crime did you commit? How were you caught? In other words, briefly set up the scenario.b. Explain the country specific lawc. Explain from first contact through arrest and questioning your experience with the country’s law enforcement officialsd. Explain the detention process you will experience as a foreign national for the crime you committede. Explain the judicial process you’ll experience for the crime you committedf. Explain the detention, corrections, and/or incarceration process you’ll experience for the crime you committed3) Provide an analysis on:a. The effectiveness of the criminal justice system in the countryb. The human rights perspective of how you were treated through the lens of the country where you were caughtc. A Holy Bible comparison/analysis of the criminal justice system of the country where you were caughtEach research paper should be a minimum of 8 to 12 pages. The vast difference in page count is due to the fact that some countries are quite easy to study and some countries have very limited information. In some instances there will be a plethora of information and you must use skilled writing to maintain proper page count.  Please keep in mind that this is doctoral level analysis and writing – you are to take the hard-earned road – the road less travelled – the scholarly road in forming your paper.The paper must use current APA style, and the page count does not include the title page, abstract, reference section, or any extra material. The minimum elements of the paper are listed above.You must use the following sources:· At least 8 recent, peer reviewed sources (past 10 years unless waived by professor): some countries may have more recent research articles than others· 2 verses/citations from the Holy Bible· 1 recent newspaper article on the country of study· Books may be used but are considered “additional: sources beyond the stated minimums.· You may use .gov sources as your recent, relevant, and academic sources as long as the writing is academic in nature (authored works).
