Discussion 1: Group Research Designs
(Due on 6/30/21)
There are several different types of research designs. Each design is intended to respond to a particular type of research question. The type of research design depends on the type of research questions asked. For this Discussion, select one of the articles from the reading list and consider several classifications of group research designs.
Post your response to the following: Describe which groups are compared in the research. Then, classify the research design as follows:
1. By explaining whether the study is pre-experimental (cross-sectional, one-shot case study, and longitudinal), experimental (control group with pretest and posttest, posttest only, or four-group design), or quasi-experimental (comparing one group to itself at different times or comparing two different groups)
2. By indicating what the researchers report about limitations of the study
3. By explaining concerns you have regarding internal validity and the ability of the study to draw conclusions about causality
4. By explaining any concerns you have about the generalizability of the study (external validity) and what aspect of the research design might limit generalizability
TRANSCRIPT:
Hernandez Family Episode 5 Program Transcript
FEMALE SPEAKER: They've missed four of their parenting classes so far.
FEMALE SPEAKER: So they haven't completed their parenting group?
FEMALE SPEAKER: I have to call the ACS worker and let her know. They're probably going to have to take the classes over again, and that's going to be tough. The classes caused the father to miss overtime at work, and they really rely on that money to make ends meet.
FEMALE SPEAKER: But they have to finish the program. They're only allowed three missed classes. There's another problem. You know the agency's been conducting a study of our performance. Well, it lowers our completion numbers. Lower numbers put our funding at risk. Our bosses start questioning the credibility of what we're trying to do here.
FEMALE SPEAKER: But I can't give the Hernandez family the post test. They won't be able to complete it.
FEMALE SPEAKER: No, that's not why I brought this up. The agency needs data to determine how effective these parenting classes are. The more attrition we have when parents don't finish the program, there's no data. No data means no support for what we're teaching or how it might benefit other populations.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Maybe we should account for the attrition then. Maybe there's something we can learn from it?

Discussion Board 2: Learning Styles/Personality
After reading Chapter 7: Strategic Learning and Studying & chapter 8: Test-Taking Skills and Strategies, and looking at the Learning Style Youtube clip in this module, I would like for you to answer the following questions in the Discussion Board:
1) What is your preferred learning style?
2) What is your preferred learning environment (sound, temperature, lighting, lecture vs. hands-on vs. discussion, working with others or not, etc.)?
3) What are some strategies (according to your learning style) you use to study?
Preferred Leaning Styles
Please respond to the following questions, use 12 front times new roman, proper citation 300 to 500 words
Collapse
1. Learning Styles - Discussion Board
1) What is your preferred learning style? I am definitely a kinesthetic learner. I can hear something or study something but will not feel comfortable with it until I have hands on experience with it.
2) What is your preferred learning environment (sound, temperature, lighting, lecture vs. hands-on vs. discussion, working with others or not, etc.)? My preferred learning environment is in a classroom setting with others. Working with other classmates on projects really seems to help me. Good lighting is always helpful.
3) What are some strategies (according to your learning style) you use to study? I like to take notes during instruction. Since that is not possible through online classes participating in the discussions with other classmates is also a good way to study and learn. Their perspective on a topic can be a different way at looking at something that I may not have learned on my own.
2. Learning Styles - Discussion Board
My proffered learning style is visual and kinesthetic. I like studying in a bright cold room because it is harder to get tired because we all know studying is tiring. I usually just were headphones and study alone as well. Strategies I use to study include reading the content over and over again, writing down notes on the material multiple times, and using flash cards to help me.

In a highly influen�al book published in the 1960s, the sociologist Erving Goffman (1963) defined s�gma as an unusual characteris�c that triggers a nega�ve
evalua�on. In his words, "The s�gma�zed person is one who is reduced in our minds from a whole and usual person to a tainted, discounted one" (1963, p. 3).
People's beliefs about s�gma�zed characteris�cs exist largely in the eye of the beholder but have substan�al influence on social interac�ons with the s�gma�zed
(see Snyder, Tanke, & Berscheid, 1977). A large research tradi�on in psychology has been devoted to understanding both the origins of s�gma and the
consequences of being s�gma�zed. According to Goffman and others, the characteris�cs associated with the greatest degree of s�gma have three features in
common: They are highly visible, they are perceived as controllable, and they are misunderstood by the public.
Recently, researchers have taken considerable interest in people's a�tudes toward members of the gay and lesbian community. Although these a�tudes have
become more posi�ve over �me, this group s�ll encounters harassment and other forms of discrimina�on on a regular basis (see Na�onal Gay Task Force, 1984).
One of the top recognized experts on this subject is Gregory Herek, professor of psychology at the University of California at Davis
(h�p://psychology.ucdavis.edu/herek/ (h�p://psychology.ucdavis.edu/herek/) ). In a 1988 ar�cle, Herek conducted a survey of heterosexuals' a�tudes toward both
lesbians and gay men, with the goal of understanding the predictors of nega�ve a�tudes. Herek approached this research ques�on by construc�ng a scale to
measure a�tudes toward these groups. In three studies, par�cipants were asked to complete this a�tude measure, along with other exis�ng scales assessing
a�tudes about gender roles, religion, and tradi�onal ideologies.
Herek's (1988) research revealed that, as hypothesized, heterosexual males tended to hold more nega�ve a�tudes about gay men and lesbians than heterosexual
females. However, the same psychological mechanisms ...

CHAPTER 7 RESEARCH QUESTIONS AND HYPOTHESESInvestigators placeJinElias52
CHAPTER 7 RESEARCH QUESTIONS AND HYPOTHESES
Investigators place signposts to carry the reader through a plan for a study. The first signpost is the purpose statement, which establishes the central intent for the study. The next would be the research questions or hypotheses that narrow the purpose statement to predictions about what will be learned or questions to be answered in the study. This chapter begins by advancing several principles in designing qualitative research questions and helpful scripts for writing these questions. It then turns to the design of quantitative research questions and hypotheses and ways to write these elements into a study. Finally, it advances the use of research questions and hypotheses in mixed methods studies, and it suggests the development of a unique mixed methods question that ties together or integrates the quantitative and qualitative data in a study.
QUALITATIVE RESEARCH QUESTIONS
In a qualitative study, inquirers state research questions, not objectives (i.e., specific goals for the research) or hypotheses (i.e., predictions that involve variables and statistical tests). These research questions assume two forms: (a) a central question and (b) associated subquestions.
Ask one or two central research questions. The central question is a broad question that asks for an exploration of the central phenomenon or concept in a study. The inquirer poses this question, consistent with the emerging methodology of qualitative research, as a general issue so as to not limit the views of participants. To arrive at this question, ask, “What is the broadest question that I can ask in the study?” Beginning researchers trained in quantitative research might struggle with this approach because they are accustomed to reverse thinking. They narrow the quantitative study to specific, narrow questions or hypotheses based on a few variables. In qualitative research, the intent is to explore the general, complex set of factors surrounding the central phenomenon and present the broad, varied perspectives or meanings that participants hold. The following are guidelines for writing qualitative research questions:
Ask no more than five to seven subquestions in addition to your central questions. Several subquestions follow each general central question; they narrow the focus of the study but leave open the questioning. This approach is well within the limits set by Miles and Huberman (1994), who recommended that researchers write no more than a dozen qualitative research questions in all (central and subquestions). The subquestions, in turn, become specific questions used during interviews (or in observing or when looking at documents). In developing an interview protocol or guide, the researcher might ask an icebreaker question at the beginning, for example, followed by five or so subquestions in the study (see Chapter 9). The interview would then end with an additional wrap-up or summary question or by asking, “Who should I ...

Social Perception Research Topic Proposal
Social personal perception is the way a person perceives and understands issues. This is an interesting topic to do research because people are different, and they perceive issues from an array of viewpoints. For my research proposal, the topic I would like to investigate is the determinants of social perception. My main objective is to identify and determine the various factors that determine how people perceive issues. I have seen how people, cultures, nationalities can perceive the same action in different ways, such as kneeling during the National Anthem at professional football games. Upon preliminary research, some literature that I read claimed that both internal and external factors determine a person’s perception. My research shall highlight on pointing out the various internal and external factors, as well as clarifying how these factors shapes and forms the perception that the person show.

Overview
This activity is to be completed after studying the presentation, Turning Your Review of the Literature into a Draft Answer, and its accompanying discussion questions.
For this activity, you will evaluate a sample response to the discussion question with which you worked earlier. Please read the sample response below and then follow the directions to evaluate the response.
Humanistic Psychology is also called Third-Force Psychology. Discuss the change that Humanistic Psychology brought, and how this affected psychologists' ways of understanding human behavior. Also, address the ways in which Humanistic Psychology asked questions and conducted research, and analyze how they differed from Behaviorism. Provide at least two peer-reviewed articles to support your ideas.
Sample Response to the Discussion Question
In this response, there will be four main points. They are, first, the change that humanistic psychology brought; second, how that change affected psychologists' understanding of human nature; third, ways the humanistic psychologists asked their questions and conducted their research; and fourth, how those methods differed from behaviorists' ways of doing so.
Abraham Maslow, considered the founder of third force or humanistic psychology, wrote in 1969 that he found it necessary to avoid being “anti-Freudian” or “anti-behaviorist,” and to adopt—even if it meant taking serious intellectual risks—an untested attitude; namely, to view human beings from the perspective of psychological health and potential rather than otherwise. He wrote that it was time for psychology to concern itself with understanding what human beings could do if properly nourished and nurtured (what was their potential?), rather than trying to elucidate merely their behavioral functioning or their mental illnesses. He advocated a key change in psychologists’ view of science, as he had written in his earlier Psychology of Science (1966): to consider human beings as free and autonomous persons and to shift psychology as a science away from the idea that our goal is prediction and control of human beings. In his words, “Do we ourselves want to be predicted and predictable? Controlled and controllable?” (1966, p.729). These ideas—looking at human healthiness and potential, treating humans as free and autonomous persons, and viewing our science as a science of spontaneity and of the real concerns of real people living in their real worlds—formed the central core of the new third force in psychology, which deliberately separated itself from the older dominating schools of thought, behaviorism and psychoanalysis.
How did these ideas affect psychologists’ understanding of human nature? In their fascinating review of George Kelly’s view of the human person—personal construct psychology—Franz Epting and Mark Paris (2006) wrote that Kelly’s use of the term “constructive” embraced four related but quite distinct meanings. The first contrasts “constructive” with “regressiv ...

Purpose of the study
What is the author’s rationale for selecting this topic? Does he build a strong case?
The purpose of the study is to examine why perpetrators bully co-workers.
The assumption has been that stressful workplace conditions lead to bullying. Less research has been devoted to why perpetrators engage in bullying. This study addresses a gap in the literature by exploring individual and situational variables that contribute to bullying in the workplace.
Yes, the researchers provide a strong justification for their research, identifying what has been studied and what needs to be studied (a gap in the literature).
The aim of this study was to examine whether the relationship between exposure to negative acts and self-labeling as a victim of bullying was moderated by trait anger and trait anxiety or by the target’s organizational position.
The assumption has been that self-labeling does not bare a relationship with anger, anxiety or position. Previous research has been conducted to prove that the above factors are ...

CONTEXT
Research conducted on the delay of gratification in the 1960s by Walter Mischel and his colleagues attempted to explain the concept of willpower by examining how long preschool children could resist settling for a small, immediately available reward in order to get a larger reward later. Follow-up surveys with the same group found that children who were able to resist for a longer period of time also scored higher on SAT tests, had higher levels of self-worth, and coped better with stress. The study also found that those children who had at first decided to wait and then chose the immediate reward were 30 percent more likely to be overweight by the age of 11 (Mischel, et al., 2011). Some of the ways the children self-regulated their behavior in order to delay gratification to receive a higher reward were to lay their heads down on the table, nap, talk to themselves, and sing.

Literature Reviews
Planning and Writing Them
1
You’ve done the hard part!
You did your secondary research with your annotated bibliography
Now, take that research and compile it into a cohesive, useful narrative that explains the “conversation” around the topic you’re going to be looking into
2
What is a lit review?
Lit reviews usually are at the beginnings of research articles
Summarize the “conversation” on the subject and establish why your study is important
Look at Zakreski article, Greene article – see in the beginning of their articles, they summarize and explain what others have had to say about the topic
Your annotated bib should easily transition into what will be the first part of your paper, the literature review.
Duggar has lots of citations; 16 in her bib. She talks about lots of different ideas here to lay the groundwork for what she is going to do
Greene has fewer, but has more to say about them
3
Three functions of a lit review
Your literature review will become the first part of your research paper. Thus, it should do three things:
Include a short introduction that defines or identifies the general topic, issue, or area of concern, thus providing an appropriate context for reviewing the literature (this is called establishing a territory)
Synthesize other research on the topic, explaining what is known about it
Conclude by stating what is missing, what is controversial, what is not yet known, or what needs to be resolved in the discussion. This will provide the transition later to your own study and your research questions (this is called “establishing a niche”)
4
How do I write it?
Your literature review should synthesize all the information from your annotated bibliography
You can organize the information chronologically
You can organize the information by topic
by least-most recent studies or vice versa; clump everything by what was found, what
5
How do I write it, con’t
Your lit review should have an intro, body, and conclusion
This is not true of ALL lit reviews, but it is a good general rule to follow
The intro will serve at the intro to your paper
The body will establish the “conversation”
The conclusion will serve to transition your paper into a discussion of your study
The body can (and probably should) have multiple paragraphs, based on how you’ve organized it
6
About the conclusion
In the conclusion, you want to establish why your study is important
You need to somehow point out a gap in the knowledge, a question you have about other research, or a counter-point you want to raise
If you can’t prove that your study authentically adds to the conversation, then you really shouldn’t be doing the research
Leads to your methods section

Discussion 1: Group Research Designs
(Due on 6/30/21)
There are several different types of research designs. Each design is intended to respond to a particular type of research question. The type of research design depends on the type of research questions asked. For this Discussion, select one of the articles from the reading list and consider several classifications of group research designs.
Post your response to the following: Describe which groups are compared in the research. Then, classify the research design as follows:
1. By explaining whether the study is pre-experimental (cross-sectional, one-shot case study, and longitudinal), experimental (control group with pretest and posttest, posttest only, or four-group design), or quasi-experimental (comparing one group to itself at different times or comparing two different groups)
2. By indicating what the researchers report about limitations of the study
3. By explaining concerns you have regarding internal validity and the ability of the study to draw conclusions about causality
4. By explaining any concerns you have about the generalizability of the study (external validity) and what aspect of the research design might limit generalizability
TRANSCRIPT:
Hernandez Family Episode 5 Program Transcript
FEMALE SPEAKER: They've missed four of their parenting classes so far.
FEMALE SPEAKER: So they haven't completed their parenting group?
FEMALE SPEAKER: I have to call the ACS worker and let her know. They're probably going to have to take the classes over again, and that's going to be tough. The classes caused the father to miss overtime at work, and they really rely on that money to make ends meet.
FEMALE SPEAKER: But they have to finish the program. They're only allowed three missed classes. There's another problem. You know the agency's been conducting a study of our performance. Well, it lowers our completion numbers. Lower numbers put our funding at risk. Our bosses start questioning the credibility of what we're trying to do here.
FEMALE SPEAKER: But I can't give the Hernandez family the post test. They won't be able to complete it.
FEMALE SPEAKER: No, that's not why I brought this up. The agency needs data to determine how effective these parenting classes are. The more attrition we have when parents don't finish the program, there's no data. No data means no support for what we're teaching or how it might benefit other populations.
FEMALE SPEAKER: Maybe we should account for the attrition then. Maybe there's something we can learn from it?

Discussion Board 2: Learning Styles/Personality
After reading Chapter 7: Strategic Learning and Studying & chapter 8: Test-Taking Skills and Strategies, and looking at the Learning Style Youtube clip in this module, I would like for you to answer the following questions in the Discussion Board:
1) What is your preferred learning style?
2) What is your preferred learning environment (sound, temperature, lighting, lecture vs. hands-on vs. discussion, working with others or not, etc.)?
3) What are some strategies (according to your learning style) you use to study?
Preferred Leaning Styles
Please respond to the following questions, use 12 front times new roman, proper citation 300 to 500 words
Collapse
1. Learning Styles - Discussion Board
1) What is your preferred learning style? I am definitely a kinesthetic learner. I can hear something or study something but will not feel comfortable with it until I have hands on experience with it.
2) What is your preferred learning environment (sound, temperature, lighting, lecture vs. hands-on vs. discussion, working with others or not, etc.)? My preferred learning environment is in a classroom setting with others. Working with other classmates on projects really seems to help me. Good lighting is always helpful.
3) What are some strategies (according to your learning style) you use to study? I like to take notes during instruction. Since that is not possible through online classes participating in the discussions with other classmates is also a good way to study and learn. Their perspective on a topic can be a different way at looking at something that I may not have learned on my own.
2. Learning Styles - Discussion Board
My proffered learning style is visual and kinesthetic. I like studying in a bright cold room because it is harder to get tired because we all know studying is tiring. I usually just were headphones and study alone as well. Strategies I use to study include reading the content over and over again, writing down notes on the material multiple times, and using flash cards to help me.

In a highly influen�al book published in the 1960s, the sociologist Erving Goffman (1963) defined s�gma as an unusual characteris�c that triggers a nega�ve
evalua�on. In his words, "The s�gma�zed person is one who is reduced in our minds from a whole and usual person to a tainted, discounted one" (1963, p. 3).
People's beliefs about s�gma�zed characteris�cs exist largely in the eye of the beholder but have substan�al influence on social interac�ons with the s�gma�zed
(see Snyder, Tanke, & Berscheid, 1977). A large research tradi�on in psychology has been devoted to understanding both the origins of s�gma and the
consequences of being s�gma�zed. According to Goffman and others, the characteris�cs associated with the greatest degree of s�gma have three features in
common: They are highly visible, they are perceived as controllable, and they are misunderstood by the public.
Recently, researchers have taken considerable interest in people's a�tudes toward members of the gay and lesbian community. Although these a�tudes have
become more posi�ve over �me, this group s�ll encounters harassment and other forms of discrimina�on on a regular basis (see Na�onal Gay Task Force, 1984).
One of the top recognized experts on this subject is Gregory Herek, professor of psychology at the University of California at Davis
(h�p://psychology.ucdavis.edu/herek/ (h�p://psychology.ucdavis.edu/herek/) ). In a 1988 ar�cle, Herek conducted a survey of heterosexuals' a�tudes toward both
lesbians and gay men, with the goal of understanding the predictors of nega�ve a�tudes. Herek approached this research ques�on by construc�ng a scale to
measure a�tudes toward these groups. In three studies, par�cipants were asked to complete this a�tude measure, along with other exis�ng scales assessing
a�tudes about gender roles, religion, and tradi�onal ideologies.
Herek's (1988) research revealed that, as hypothesized, heterosexual males tended to hold more nega�ve a�tudes about gay men and lesbians than heterosexual
females. However, the same psychological mechanisms ...

CHAPTER 7 RESEARCH QUESTIONS AND HYPOTHESESInvestigators placeJinElias52
CHAPTER 7 RESEARCH QUESTIONS AND HYPOTHESES
Investigators place signposts to carry the reader through a plan for a study. The first signpost is the purpose statement, which establishes the central intent for the study. The next would be the research questions or hypotheses that narrow the purpose statement to predictions about what will be learned or questions to be answered in the study. This chapter begins by advancing several principles in designing qualitative research questions and helpful scripts for writing these questions. It then turns to the design of quantitative research questions and hypotheses and ways to write these elements into a study. Finally, it advances the use of research questions and hypotheses in mixed methods studies, and it suggests the development of a unique mixed methods question that ties together or integrates the quantitative and qualitative data in a study.
QUALITATIVE RESEARCH QUESTIONS
In a qualitative study, inquirers state research questions, not objectives (i.e., specific goals for the research) or hypotheses (i.e., predictions that involve variables and statistical tests). These research questions assume two forms: (a) a central question and (b) associated subquestions.
Ask one or two central research questions. The central question is a broad question that asks for an exploration of the central phenomenon or concept in a study. The inquirer poses this question, consistent with the emerging methodology of qualitative research, as a general issue so as to not limit the views of participants. To arrive at this question, ask, “What is the broadest question that I can ask in the study?” Beginning researchers trained in quantitative research might struggle with this approach because they are accustomed to reverse thinking. They narrow the quantitative study to specific, narrow questions or hypotheses based on a few variables. In qualitative research, the intent is to explore the general, complex set of factors surrounding the central phenomenon and present the broad, varied perspectives or meanings that participants hold. The following are guidelines for writing qualitative research questions:
Ask no more than five to seven subquestions in addition to your central questions. Several subquestions follow each general central question; they narrow the focus of the study but leave open the questioning. This approach is well within the limits set by Miles and Huberman (1994), who recommended that researchers write no more than a dozen qualitative research questions in all (central and subquestions). The subquestions, in turn, become specific questions used during interviews (or in observing or when looking at documents). In developing an interview protocol or guide, the researcher might ask an icebreaker question at the beginning, for example, followed by five or so subquestions in the study (see Chapter 9). The interview would then end with an additional wrap-up or summary question or by asking, “Who should I ...

Three common types of plagiarism you need to be aware of as a student:
•Recycling a paper; “double-dipping”; self-plagiarism: Reusing a paper you have written for a previous course
•Copying directly from a source without proper quotations or paraphrasing: When you try to pass something off as your own work
•Not using proper citations
According to the Academic Integrity and Academic Dishonesty Handbook:
Your paper should have at least 80% of your own original thought, not “borrowed, paraphrased [or] quoted” from material pulled from the Internet, articles, journals, books, etc. Your thoughts, not someone else’s!

Social Perception Research Topic Proposal
Social personal perception is the way a person perceives and understands issues. This is an interesting topic to do research because people are different, and they perceive issues from an array of viewpoints. For my research proposal, the topic I would like to investigate is the determinants of social perception. My main objective is to identify and determine the various factors that determine how people perceive issues. I have seen how people, cultures, nationalities can perceive the same action in different ways, such as kneeling during the National Anthem at professional football games. Upon preliminary research, some literature that I read claimed that both internal and external factors determine a person’s perception. My research shall highlight on pointing out the various internal and external factors, as well as clarifying how these factors shapes and forms the perception that the person show.

Overview
This activity is to be completed after studying the presentation, Turning Your Review of the Literature into a Draft Answer, and its accompanying discussion questions.
For this activity, you will evaluate a sample response to the discussion question with which you worked earlier. Please read the sample response below and then follow the directions to evaluate the response.
Humanistic Psychology is also called Third-Force Psychology. Discuss the change that Humanistic Psychology brought, and how this affected psychologists' ways of understanding human behavior. Also, address the ways in which Humanistic Psychology asked questions and conducted research, and analyze how they differed from Behaviorism. Provide at least two peer-reviewed articles to support your ideas.
Sample Response to the Discussion Question
In this response, there will be four main points. They are, first, the change that humanistic psychology brought; second, how that change affected psychologists' understanding of human nature; third, ways the humanistic psychologists asked their questions and conducted their research; and fourth, how those methods differed from behaviorists' ways of doing so.
Abraham Maslow, considered the founder of third force or humanistic psychology, wrote in 1969 that he found it necessary to avoid being “anti-Freudian” or “anti-behaviorist,” and to adopt—even if it meant taking serious intellectual risks—an untested attitude; namely, to view human beings from the perspective of psychological health and potential rather than otherwise. He wrote that it was time for psychology to concern itself with understanding what human beings could do if properly nourished and nurtured (what was their potential?), rather than trying to elucidate merely their behavioral functioning or their mental illnesses. He advocated a key change in psychologists’ view of science, as he had written in his earlier Psychology of Science (1966): to consider human beings as free and autonomous persons and to shift psychology as a science away from the idea that our goal is prediction and control of human beings. In his words, “Do we ourselves want to be predicted and predictable? Controlled and controllable?” (1966, p.729). These ideas—looking at human healthiness and potential, treating humans as free and autonomous persons, and viewing our science as a science of spontaneity and of the real concerns of real people living in their real worlds—formed the central core of the new third force in psychology, which deliberately separated itself from the older dominating schools of thought, behaviorism and psychoanalysis.
How did these ideas affect psychologists’ understanding of human nature? In their fascinating review of George Kelly’s view of the human person—personal construct psychology—Franz Epting and Mark Paris (2006) wrote that Kelly’s use of the term “constructive” embraced four related but quite distinct meanings. The first contrasts “constructive” with “regressiv ...

Purpose of the study
What is the author’s rationale for selecting this topic? Does he build a strong case?
The purpose of the study is to examine why perpetrators bully co-workers.
The assumption has been that stressful workplace conditions lead to bullying. Less research has been devoted to why perpetrators engage in bullying. This study addresses a gap in the literature by exploring individual and situational variables that contribute to bullying in the workplace.
Yes, the researchers provide a strong justification for their research, identifying what has been studied and what needs to be studied (a gap in the literature).
The aim of this study was to examine whether the relationship between exposure to negative acts and self-labeling as a victim of bullying was moderated by trait anger and trait anxiety or by the target’s organizational position.
The assumption has been that self-labeling does not bare a relationship with anger, anxiety or position. Previous research has been conducted to prove that the above factors are ...

OVERVIEW
w
Write a 3–4-page assessment in which you use examples and research findings to explain the connections between technology and self-regulation.
The more self-knowledge and self-awareness we have, the more intentional we can be about our behavioral choices and the more we can resolve conflicts between ourselves and the social world.
CONTEXT
Research conducted on the delay of gratification in the 1960s by Walter Mischel and his colleagues attempted to explain the concept of willpower by examining how long preschool children could resist settling for a small, immediately available reward in order to get a larger reward later. Follow-up surveys with the same group found that children who were able to resist for a longer period of time also scored higher on SAT tests, had higher levels of self-worth, and coped better with stress. The study also found that those children who had at first decided to wait and then chose the immediate reward were 30 percent more likely to be overweight by the age of 11 (Mischel, et al., 2011). Some of the ways the children self-regulated their behavior in order to delay gratification to receive a higher reward were to lay their heads down on the table, nap, talk to themselves, and sing.

Literature Reviews
Planning and Writing Them
1
You’ve done the hard part!
You did your secondary research with your annotated bibliography
Now, take that research and compile it into a cohesive, useful narrative that explains the “conversation” around the topic you’re going to be looking into
2
What is a lit review?
Lit reviews usually are at the beginnings of research articles
Summarize the “conversation” on the subject and establish why your study is important
Look at Zakreski article, Greene article – see in the beginning of their articles, they summarize and explain what others have had to say about the topic
Your annotated bib should easily transition into what will be the first part of your paper, the literature review.
Duggar has lots of citations; 16 in her bib. She talks about lots of different ideas here to lay the groundwork for what she is going to do
Greene has fewer, but has more to say about them
3
Three functions of a lit review
Your literature review will become the first part of your research paper. Thus, it should do three things:
Include a short introduction that defines or identifies the general topic, issue, or area of concern, thus providing an appropriate context for reviewing the literature (this is called establishing a territory)
Synthesize other research on the topic, explaining what is known about it
Conclude by stating what is missing, what is controversial, what is not yet known, or what needs to be resolved in the discussion. This will provide the transition later to your own study and your research questions (this is called “establishing a niche”)
4
How do I write it?
Your literature review should synthesize all the information from your annotated bibliography
You can organize the information chronologically
You can organize the information by topic
by least-most recent studies or vice versa; clump everything by what was found, what
5
How do I write it, con’t
Your lit review should have an intro, body, and conclusion
This is not true of ALL lit reviews, but it is a good general rule to follow
The intro will serve at the intro to your paper
The body will establish the “conversation”
The conclusion will serve to transition your paper into a discussion of your study
The body can (and probably should) have multiple paragraphs, based on how you’ve organized it
6
About the conclusion
In the conclusion, you want to establish why your study is important
You need to somehow point out a gap in the knowledge, a question you have about other research, or a counter-point you want to raise
If you can’t prove that your study authentically adds to the conversation, then you really shouldn’t be doing the research

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

13. Researchers cannot effectively conduct replication
studies without knowing replication’s definitions.
2.1 Replication’s Definition
Before researchers decide what to replicate,
they have to know what they are about to do.
14. Replication’s multiple definitions inspire
multiple kinds of replication studies
2.2 Research Replication Kinds
Note:
Section 2.2 has five tables describing different kinds of replication research
15. Replication is deeper than
establishing confidence in research
2.3 Why do Researchers Care?
16. Aside from replicating things from earlier studies,
other barriers to replication exist.
2.4 Replication is NOT Easy
18. Surveys are a vehicle for social cognition, the
study of how people understand the self, others,
and the interdependence between self and others
(Fiske & Taylor, 2013; Markus & Kitayama, 1991).

3.2 Face Validity and Pretesting
20. William Shakespeare wrote
“The Taming of the Shrew”
o True
o False
William Shakespeare wrote
“The Taming of the Shrew”
o False
o True
Version #1 Version #2
Attaining face validity: Depends on what is being studied and
how well questions appear to measure whatever is being studied.
Version #1 and Version #2 could establish face validity for a test
on Shakespearean Literature.
21. William Shakespeare wrote
“The Taming of the Shrew”
o True
o False
Version #1
Version #2
Pre-Testing: Pre-study quality control, useful for getting
feedback.
Pre-testing Version #2 may elicit negative feedback from people
accustomed to seeing True listed as the first option.
For the formal survey administration, Version #1 may be used.
William Shakespeare wrote
“The Taming of the Shrew”
o False
o True
Version #2
22. Wording differences can yield differing responses
even when questions’ substantive content are the
same (Schumann & Presser, 1977, 1986).

Experiments in question form, wording, and content. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage.
23. 3.4 Item Bias
Biased Items are items with differing
psychological meanings functioning differently
across groups (Ackerman, 1992; Holland &
Thayer, 1988; van de Vijver & Tanzer, 1997).
Ackerman, T. A. (1992). A didactic explanation of item bias, item impact, and item validity from a
multidimensional perspective. Journal of Educational Measurement, 29(1), 67–91.

overview. European Review of Applied Psychology, 47(4), 263–279.
24. A response combination is a specific way a
respondent responds to a set of items.
Response combinations differ conceptual from
response styles and response sets.
3.5 Response Combinations
From Peer and Gamliel (2011), response style, tendency to distort responses in a certain direction;
response set, respondents’ desire to express a certain image to researcher(s).
Peer, E., & Gambiel, E. (2011). Too Reliable to Believe? Response Bias as a Potential Source of
Inflation in Paper-and-Pencil Questionnaires Reliability. Practical Assessment, Research and
Evaluation. 16(9).
26. If false null hypotheses testing for significance is
bad, then imagine the replicating of false null
hypotheses for significance.
4.1 Null Hypotheses
For surveys, false null hypotheses may be easy to set up
because survey items cannot be truly isolated from the
survey context.
27. Researchers cannot effectively conduct replication
studies without knowing replication’s definitions.
4.2 Thoughts on Bayesian Stats
28. Creative uses of ransacking, partitioning, and the
Yates’ Correction may improve data analyzability
4.3 Contingency Tables

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, 1(2), 217–235.
29. 4.4 Broken Latent Variables
Fundamentally, researchers cannot analyze latent
variables (e.g. factors and classes) that researchers
cannot describe or explain.
In Section 4.4, I describe five ways (e.g. item wording and its
implications; response combinations exceeding population size)
that latent variables become broken.
30. A response combination is a specific way a
respondent responds to a set of items.
Response combinations differ conceptual from
response styles and response sets.

Multiple imputation
may result in
Two kinds of observed response combinations:
(1) Observed without imputation and (2) Observed because of imputation

32. A Maximum Likelihood Estimation Issue?
Maximum likelihood estimation works around missing data
(i.e. uses available data but does not lead to imputed values)
Do the two tables of response combinations below differ?

establish, replicating it is even harder.
37. The Gems are a collection of valuable thoughts that I
could not fit into one of the other chapters.
In my book’s earlier drafts, I incorporated The Gems
into the text but doing so resulted in mixing scholarly
and anecdotal content.
For myself, keeping The Gems separate taught me
about writing efficiency.
