Application: Research

Determining an appropriate area of research often requires a balancing act between the personal interests of the researcher and the needs of the field. Although finding areas of interest certainly plays a role in determining what a social psychologist researches, it is nonsufficient reason for conducting a study. As a future scholar–practitioner, it is your professional responsibility to identify gaps in the literature and to determine what needs to be studied so that you may add to the literature and advance knowledge that can benefit society.

For this Assignment, explore the existing literature in your area of interest and identify two gaps in the existing literature. Then develop a research question that you as a potential social psychologist might ask regarding this gap.

The Assignment (5–7 pages)

  • Select and describe a social problem in your field of interest.
  • Explain why you selected the social problem.
  • Research at least five journal articles related to the social problem.
  • Describe two gaps in the literature related to the social problem you selected in which you could develop further research and justify your selection.
  • Through a social psychology lens, develop a research question that a social psychologist might use to conduct research.

Treatment For Disorders

Identify the disorder you chose to focus on for this unit and briefly describe the articles you read about possible treatment methods. Discuss which theories of counseling they support for treating the chosen disorder or problem. Evaluate the strength of the empirical evidence presented in support of each of the theories when used to treat this kind of client. Support your discussion with specifics and scholarly citations.

Prosocial Behavior And Altruism

Consider and discuss how the phenomena of prosocial behavior and pure altruism relate to each other and how they differ from each other.

Pure altruism is a specific kind of prosocial behavior where your sole motivation is to help a person in need without seeking benefit for yourself. It is often viewed as a truly selfless form of behavior.
