Assignment
Submit a draft of the literature review due as part of your final research investigation using the three articles that were provided for your track and topic in Module Two. In addition, for this milestone, you will need to find two additional articles to use for your final project.
Overview: For the final project in this course, you will examine research presented in the course for how abnormal psychology has changed, and investigate a potential gap in the research that has not been addressed. This project will allow you to foster and improve your skills at reading, interpreting, and writing psychological works. It will also help you to learn your place within the field and how to combine both your personal perspective and opinions with established, empirical research to make original claims.
The final project is meant for you to propose a hypothetical study. You are not and should not be conducting human subjects research for this project. It is not necessary for the purposes of this assignment. All human subjects research requires written approval from the SNHU COCE Institutional Review Board in order to protect the welfare and ensure ethical treatment of the subjects.
For this milestone, due in Module Three, you will submit a draft of the literature review due as part of your final research investigation using the three articles that were provided for your track in Module Two. In addition, for this milestone, you will need to find two additional articles to use for your final project. You will base this milestone on the literature review practice journal assignment that you completed in Module Two. Rather than following the format of a typical lengthier APA literature review, you will instead prepare five shorter, adapted, individual literature reviews (one for each article). Each literature review should be 2-4 pages in length. These literature reviews will lead up to the final literature review submission, which will consist of a total of five literature reviews, based on the three articles provided in your track and the two additional articles you find and select for this milestone. The final version of the literature review will be submitted in Module Seven as part of your final project.
Prompt: First, read and review the three provided articles for your track. Next, using the questions presented in the Module Two literature review practice journal assignment as a guide, you will draft literature reviews of the articles provided in your track. You will then find two more articles to add to your literature reviews. The questions are provided here for your convenience as you prepare to complete your literature reviews. These questions will support you in completing the literature reviews, which will need to address all of the critical elements below. Please refer to the complete list of critical elements for the literature review on the following page.
? What is the title of the article (in APA format)?
? What is the purpose of the article? (Addresses critical elements I-A through I-C.)
? What is the hypothesis of the study? In other words, what claims do the authors make in the article? What are the outcomes of the study, that is, the conclusions that the authors made as a result of the study? (Addresses critical elements I-A through I-D.)
? What variables (factors) are being looked at as an influence on abnormal behavior?" (Addresses critical elements I-A through I-D.)
? If these variables or the relationship between these variables have been studied before, what have other studies found? This shows historical significance. (Addresses critical elements I-C and I-H.)
? Describe the research design that was used in the study. (Addresses critical elements I-E and I-F.)
? Do you think the research in this article was conducted in an ethical manner? Why or why not? (Addresses critical elements I-G and I-H.)
Use the Literature Review Template to complete this task. Please refer to the Literature Review Basics document as well as the Literature Review Example to assist you.
Note that you are starting your literature review with the questions above, but you will need to expand the answers to these questions to meet the critical elements of the literature review for your final submission. The following critical elements must be addressed, as also outlined in the literature review section of the Final Project Part I Guidelines and Rubric document:
I. Literature Review: In this part of the project, you will analyze foundational research presented in the course for how the field of abnormal psychology has changed over time, how researchers have designed research to study psychopathology, and how issues of ethics have been addressed historically in the field.
A. Summarize the claims made by the authors of the foundational research presented in the course regarding how causes and diagnoses or assessments and treatments for psychological disorders have developed. In other words, what claims are made by the research about how psychological disorders are diagnosed in individuals? About how individuals with psychological disorders are treated?
B. Summarize the claims made by the authors of the foundational research presented in the course regarding how biological, psychological, or sociocultural factors contribute to the development of psychological disorders.
C. Explain how the view of psychopathology has evolved over the history of abnormal psychology. Be sure to support your analysis with examples from research to support your claim.
D. Explain the conclusions you can reach about research in abnormal psychology. In other words, explain what we know about psychopathology, based on your review of the research presented in the course. Be sure to support your analysis with examples from research to support your claim.
E. Describe the specific research designs used in the foundational research presented in the course used to address research questions. For example, what were the specific methods used to address the research question? What type of research design was used?
F. Explain how research designs were used by authors to conduct research in abnormal psychology. In other words, how did the research designs used by researchers help in conducting research regarding abnormal psychology?
G. Discuss how issues of ethics have been addressed in the foundational research presented in the course. For example, how did the authors inform the participants of what the experiment would entail? How did the authors account for any potential risks to participants associated with the study?
H. Discuss how issues of ethics in abnormal psychology have been viewed historically. In other words, how have issues of ethics in the field been viewed over time? Has this view changed as the field has progressed? Be sure to support your response with examples from research to support your claims.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also Include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
