This document provides instructions and resources for several assignments in PSYCH 540 related to data analysis and research methods. It includes links to tutorials for a learning team presentation on analyzing research using a selected method, an individual trend article analysis, and discussion questions on topics like null hypotheses, correlations, and research design types. Students are asked to design hypothetical research studies using descriptive and experimental methods. The resources aim to help students effectively incorporate psychological research in their professional careers.

DIRECTIONS
The first step of the EBP process is to develop a question from the nursing practice problem of interest.
Select a practice problem of interest to use as the focus of your research.
Start with the patient and identify the clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care.
Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT statement in your selected practice problem area of interest, which is applicable to your proposed capstone project.
The PICOT statement will provide a framework for your capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).
Conduct a literature search to locate research articles focused on your selected practice problem of interest. This literature search should include both quantitative and qualitative peer-reviewed research articles to support your practice problem.
Select six peer-reviewed research articles which will be utilized through the next 5 weeks as reference sources. Be sure that some of the articles use qualitative research and that some use quantitative research. Create a reference list in which the six articles are listed. Beneath each reference include the article's abstract. The completed assignment should have a title page and a reference list with abstracts.
Suggestions for locating qualitative and quantitative research articles from credible sources:
1. Use a library database such as CINAHL Complete for your search.
2. Using the advanced search page check the box beside "Research Article" in the "Limit Your Results" section.
3. When setting up the search you can type your topic in the top box, then add quantitative or qualitative as a search term in one of the lower boxes. Research articles often are described as qualitative or quantitative.
To narrow/broaden your search, remove the words qualitative and quantitative and include words that narrow or broaden your main topic. For example: Diabetes and pediatric and dialysis. To determine what research design was used, review the abstract and the methods section of the article. The author will provide a description of data collection using qualitative or quantitative methods.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

mode because it will rarely come up in real life.) This is THE basic part of any
quantitative study’s data analysis. Let’s make sure we’re clear about what the mean
and what the median are. Does all data have a mean and a median? Why or why
not? When is the mean the best measure of central tendency? When is the median

I hope you will think this discussionstarter to be fun. It’s a good way to integrate
into your understanding the reading in Chapter 11 on quasi-experimental studies.
After all, these types of studies are among the most common in psychological
research. You’ll be reading lots of these types of studies as a professional when
you want to know the latest on a psychological subject. So, give this a try:
Design an imaginary quasi-experimental study. Give us a brief description of your
study, then answer as many of the following questions as you care to:
1. What is the hypothesis of your imaginary study?
8. 2. What is/are the independent variable(s)?
3. What is/are the dependent variable(s)?
4. Briefly, how will you test your hypothesis? That is, what are the procedures you
will use in your study?
5. What led you to your hypothesis; that is, what makes you think that changing the
independent variable(s) will cause a change in the dependent variable(s)?
6. Now comes the fun question: Why could this study not be conducted with a

Martin Seligman founded in the late 1990s a new branch within Counseling
Psychology called Positive Psychology. One of the criticisms of this new branch
within the psychological community was that while it was strong on theory, there
11. were no interventions associated with it for use in therapy. The article I’m linking
for you here was the first to report on research in this area in Positive Psychology.
Positive Psychology has become the most exciting new area of psychology: there
are books coming out every month it seems and newspaper and magazine articles
about happiness every week. And they’re all based (or claim to be based)on the
research being done by Seligman and others. So, I invite you to read the article and
comment on it: what do you think of the quality of the research conducted bythe
authors? Do you agree that their methodology was valid?
What do you think of internet based studies?

Research based on observational methods historically was associated with
educational, sociological, and anthropological research in the behavioral sciences.
Only recently has it become more accepted within the psychological community
14. (Patton, 2002). Our text (Shaughnessy, Zechmeister, & Zechmeister, 2009)
categorizes observational research into three types: Participant observation,
structured observation, and field experiments. There are other ways of categorizing
it. That itself gives us a sense of how varied observational research methodologies
can be.
Are you an advocate for this type of research within psychology? Is there any
particular type of obervational research you like or dislike? Why or why not?
