(750- 1000) words on specific “artifacts”, such as a painting, or a poem relevant to that section”How does the artifact bring together the different methods and focus an understanding of the data presented in the module?  How does it show the relationship between the artistic and the spiritual?  How does it illumine the process of creativity and its relationship to thought and spirituality?” You need to choose at least ONE painting you have encountered so far in the course.  You can find the painting either in the course content or by typing the name of the artist and/or the painting into the search box for Google images.  When you write about the painting, make sure you insert a facsimile into your paper.  You should insert the image at the beginning of the paper.  If you want to insert further images to illustrate your argument, that is fine too.Address the following questions:• How does the artifact bring together the different methods and focus an understanding of the data presented in the module?• How does it show the relationship between the artistic and the spiritual?• How does it illumine the process of creativity and its relationship to thought and spirituality?

To prepare for this Discussion:Review Chapter 9 in your course text, Research Methods for the Behavioral Sciences. Pay attention to the descriptions and examples of linear and nonlinear relationships, positive and negative linear relationships, and curvilinear relationships.Consider how these relationships are determined and what impact each type of relationship may have on a researcher’s ability to make predictions.Using the Walden Library, select and review two or three articles on criminal recidivism, violent crime, or domestic violence in which the variables have positive and negative linear relationships.Consider the implications if the variables had a curvilinear relationship instead.With these thoughts in mind:Post by Day 4 a description of two variables that have a positive linear relationship and two variables that have a negative linear relationship in the research articles you reviewed. Then, explain the implications on the studies if each of those variables had a curvilinear relationship instead.Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.Learning ResourcesReadingsCourse Text: Stangor, C.
