Analyzing Children with No Siblings

Report findings and conclusions from the research project (remember to include your action plan given to you at the beginning of the course) (P6)

Unlike most people, I did not get to be a carefree child for long. Even though I always said that I could not wait to grow up, now I wish that it all did not happen so fast and early in my life. From eleven to twelve years old—that would be the period I describe as the time I had to put my big-girl pants on and face the real, cruel and unwelcoming adult world. In that time period, I can specifically pinpoint two major events that ended my childhood: my move from Russia to the United States and the birth of my baby sister Toma. To some those might not seem significant enough to change someone’s life to the extent that they changed mine; however those events molded me into the person I am today.

A few years had past since my family had become a statistic, when my sister and brother left home on their way to their own goals in life. This new change produced even a greater effect on me than did the departure of my father. Now came the time where I decided if no one else had to stay in the family, neither did I. I took this opportunity to become closer to my friends and their families hoping to become more welcome there than I did at home. It was not long after my constant deviation from what was left of my family that my mother decided she was going to keep me out of the house for extended periods of time. Now the time had come for me to really find my path in life.

Briefly indicate key uncertainties about your conclusions and your concept/solution. Identify what additional research would be valuable, if any.

Every outline heading and subheading must include a two to three sentence description.  Additionally, for each study, indicate how it will support the overall concept of your Final Paper and which areas of the Final Paper it will apply to.  Your assignment must include a reference page listing the three to five quantitative research studies from peer-reviewed sources that were published within the last five years (these will also be used for your Final Paper).  It must be formatted according to APA guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

· The results of the study, the interpretation of the data by the authors and any conclusions they include at the end of the article.

4.Be sure to include a discussion of the research problem, questions, method, findings, and implications discussed by the authors.

A summary of your project. Identify your topic and describe what you will be looking at in terms of the topic. Include some key terms and additional questions that will guide your research.

Identify the topic, and describe specific research related to the topic (describe the study, sample, findings, important points from the discussion in the research – describe any variables that may influence the findings of the research). Address any key issues such as political, social, legal, and/or ethical implications the

In your own words, write a summary of the study that reviews the purpose, variables, hypotheses, method, results and major conclusions. The best way to ensure that you are using your own words, and not just copying the article, is to read it from start to finish (a few times, if necessary), then put the article out of sight, and describe it as best you can from memory. This takes time to do well, so this is not the type of assignment that can be done the night before it is due! (15 points; approx. 1-1.5 pages)

Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper based on your review and research in which you complete the following:

Be sure your analysis is written in a scholarly voice and uses your scholarly writing skills.

What do we have data on and what further data do we need to collect. The sources of information considered in the study are helping to determine the type of research design used during the study.

At the time of my birth my sister was 19 years old and attending Longwood College and my brother was 25 years old and married to his wife Sarah. As essentially an only child, the closest thing I have to siblings around my age are my cousins, on my maternal side I have 7 cousins, all within 4-5 years of me, with 4 currently living within an hour drive. Early interactions and involvement with my cousins were deeply impactful in helping me work in groups and reach a solution and most importantly, teaching me how to resolve bitter arguments with my peers. Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory is easily applicable in this situation, as these social interactions with my cousins and family heavily contributed to my development. During elementary school, my breaks were always highlighted by trips to New York to visit my Grandparents and have fun on their farmland with my cousins. While I was raised as an only child my father had the experience of raising two children and used that experience to give my mother advice and help while also using the techniques that he saw worked and didn’t work. Perhaps the biggest contributing factor to my parent’s frameworks for my development was their experience in

Write the abstract here. Write a concise summary of the key points of your research. (Do not indent.) Your abstract should contain at least your research topic, research questions, participants, methods, results, data analysis, and conclusions. You may also include possible implications of your research and future work you see connected with your findings. Your abstract should be a single paragraph double-spaced. Your abstract should be between 150 and 250 words.
