You are to complete 7 of the Quizzes found in this website:  http://psychcentral.com/quizzes/  Follow the link to Quizzes then scroll down to the quizzes on  Relationships and Sexuality or Personality sections.  Please avoid using  the Quizzes on Disorders and Symptoms since the emphasis in this class  is on psychological well-being, not mental illness.

– To begin your essay, state and highlight or indicate in italics or bold  the titles of each of the self-assessments you took and briefly  describe your results in terms of your reaction and how you see your  thoughts, feelings, and behaviors coinciding with your scores.  You may  also address what surprised you about the findings.  Be certain to  provide a thorough discussion, as this part is worth 25% of your grade  on the essay

–  Next, write an overall summary describing your insight into what the  findings mean to you and what you learned about yourself in reference to  your own psychological well-being.  Again, please provide a thorough  discussion, as this part is also worth another 25% of your grade on the  essay.

Summary of a Peer-Reviewed Article

Identify and summarize a published research article, in either the print literature or online, that uses one of the multivariate statistical analysis we have looked at in this course in the results section. Acceptable articles will have factor analysis, logistic regression, MANOVA, or discriminant analysis as their primary method of data analysis.

Important: your article must be one that relates to either 1) your proposed dissertation topic, or 2) your current career of field of interest.

For this assignment, find an article based on only one experiment rather than on a series of experiments. The selected article must be based on empirical (data-based) research. Qualitative studies, meta-analytic studies, or purely descriptive research studies are not appropriate.

Summarize the study in a two-page paper, focusing primarily on the methodology and the meaning of the output. Details of the procedure (for example, sampling) are not as important as a thorough discussion of the method and its meaning. Be sure to interpret the output using the terms and vocabulary we have studied. Include in the final section of your paper HOW this article is related to either 1) your proposed dissertation topic, or 2) your current career or field of interest.
