Research Report. Write a research report based on a hypothetical research study. Conducting research and writing a report is common practice for many students and practitioners in any of the behavioral sciences fields.

A research report, which is based on scientific method, is typically composed of the different sections listed below:

•   Introduction: The introduction states a specific hypothesis and how that hypothesis was derived by connecting it to 
previous research.
•   Methods: The methods section describes the details of how the hypothesis was tested and clarifies why the study was 
conducted in that particular way.
•   Results: The results section is where the raw uninterpreted data is presented.

IV.

Discussion: The discussion section is where an argument is presented on whether or not the data supports the hypothesis, the possible implications and limitations of the study, as well as possible future directions for this type of research.

Together, these sections should tell the reader what was done, how it was done, and what was learned through the research. You will create a research report based on a hypothetical problem, sample, results, and literature review. Organize your data by creating meaningful sections within your report. Make sure that you:

• Apply key concepts of inferential hypothesis tests.

•   Interpret the research findings of the study.
•   Examine the assumptions and limitations of inferential tests.
•   Develop a practical application of the research principles covered in this course.

How could evolutionary psychology explain what would make Dylan’s first wife, Whitney, stay with him even though she knew about his infidelities?

I have attached the case study description at the bottom so that you can read it to write the paper.

Please watch the following YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXQwtTOnLvg) which complements the material covered in the evolutionary perspective chapter, the psychosocial perspective chapter(s), and the first article about which you will write a review paper this semester. In the linked video, Dr. Puts describes the evolution of some important gender differences in mating behavior. For example, he describes why men evolved to secure and provide resources and why women evolved to prefer men who can provide consistent resources. He also describes how evolutionary theory helps us understand why women’s mate preferences change over the course of their menstrual cycle and why men (should and do) care for their own children and not other men’s children.

After you have viewed the video (and taken notes), please 1) read the attached Case Study description

(and 2) answer the application questions noted below. You will type your answers in a separate document and upload it in this drop box for credit. Please remember to enumerate your list of answers and to NOT copy and paste the questions into your paper.

  1. According to evolutionary psychology, to what type of women should men be most attracted? Why?
  2. According to evolutionary psychology,  to what type of men should women be most attracted? Why?
  3. How could evolutionary psychology explain what would make Dylan’s first wife, Whitney, stay with him even though she knew about his infidelities?
  4. According to evolutionary psychology, what would a woman married to Dylan have to do in order to make Dylan initiate a divorce?
  5. Why does Dylan not use birth control, according to evolutionary psychology?
  6. Using an evolutionary psychological perspective, make the case for why Dylan’s ‘side pieces’ would use birth control when they are with him. Then, make the case for why Dylan’s ‘side pieces’ would NOT use birth control when they are with him. Be specific and explain your answer clearly.
  7. What are some problems with the evolutionary psychology explanations noted here?
  8. Use Freud’s theory to explain Dylan’s promiscuity. How does the focus of Freud’s theory differ from that of evolutionary psychology?

Describe the cultural influences that had an influence on the chosen theorist’s personality development. Analyze this person from Freud’s psychoanalytic perspective.

Purpose

In today’s current healthcare settings, the increasing diversity, globalization, and expanding technologies produce complex ethical pressures that influence nursing practice and practice outcomes. To be effective in a master’s-prepared advanced nurse practice role it is important to understand personal values, beliefs, strengths, and limitations. The purpose of this assessment is to promote introspective reflection related to implicit and/or explicit personal biases. Students will develop a plan to reduce bias and promote personal and professional growth.

 

Criteria for Content

Complete a self-inventory on personal biases you hold. The biases might be implicit or explicit.

  1. In a one to two-page summary, address the following.
    • Identify your selected specialty track (education, executive, family nurse practitioner, healthcare policy, or nursing informatics).
    • Discuss how biases can impact outcomes in selected nursing practice settings.
    • Identify personal biases and attitudes toward people with various cultural, gender, sexual orientation, age, weight, and religions that are different than your own.
    • Select one bias that you have.
    • Develop one strategy to reduce this bias
    • a minimum of two (2) scholarly literature references must be used.For this assignment, you will have a chance to put into practice all you have been learning throughout this course. You will analyze the personality development of one of the theorists studied in this course from three different theoretical perspectives.Choose one of the theorists you have studied this term. Use your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources to research the life history of the theorist.

      Do the following:

      1. Describe the major life events of the theorist that you feel influenced his or her personality development.
      2. Describe the cultural influences that had an influence on the chosen theorist’s personality development.
      3. Analyze this person from Freud’s psychoanalytic perspective.
      4. Analyze this person from two other theoretical perspectives studied in this course, except for the trait perspective.
      5. Summarize and present your critical opinion about how well (or not) these theories explain the person.

      Write a 5–7-page paper in Word format.

How might a person with the Christian worldview feel about altering human genes to eliminate criminal predispositions or to improve desirable traits?
