Several topics of interest were intriguing to learn in Module one and most topics were straightforward and some were complex. All the information in this week’s module has many impertinent concepts for beginning, average, and advanced students who have research and statistics backgrounds. From all the topics and concepts of research and evaluating reports they were beneficial, straightforward, and thought-provoking. There are numerous topics from research problem, quantitative, qualitative, statistics, and sampling methods that will useful to health professionals now and in the future. The next section of this paper will mention of a possible research topic that will be a stepping-stone and guide for the comprehensive research project. This practice skill for the final project will serve to make the research process easier for the topic question. Lastly, the topic of research will be demonstrated by using the experimental or quasi-experimental method with variables as well as the correlational method. Throughout Module one’s readings a lot of the topics of research go-hand-go and more will be mentioned in further detail.
Part 1:
From starting the research process to methodology, it’s all made possible with understanding what is being mentioned in the subsections and main paragraphs. When reading chapter six “the research problem” from Introduction to Research and Medical Literature for Health Professionals (2013), the concept of study replication is a helpful technique as
In response to the question set, I will go into detail of the study, consisting of the background, main hypotheses, as well the aims, procedure and results gathered from the study; explaining the four research methods chosen to investigate,

In this assignment I will be comparing different research methodologies, which might be used in health and social care setting.
Data used in this study is from a previously prepared collection for a different study and hence does not require any instruments. Use of Microsoft Excel and graphpad, an online software, helped in calculating the results and analyzing the data.
Correlational analysis were used to explore the relationships between the studies key variables, the results are indicated below (Table 2).
In my chosen field of school psychology, correlational research is a great research method in order to build various support groups, interventions, and an overall warm school climate. One topic that I am specifically interested in is the relation of self-esteem and bullying. I would predict that there would be a negative correlation between the two variables, as I believe that bullying is prominently done by those students whom have lower levels of self-esteem.
Using what you have learned about correlational research and experimental research, describe how scientists could use each of these methods to study the brain. Be sure to show which two variables would be correlated for the correlational study and identify the experimental and control groups, and the IV and DV for the experimental
The overall presentation and final summary of this study are logically reported with concisely writing content. Although it has the word limitation for an abstract, the content is easy to understand. The title of the study was accurately describing the type of study, primary variables, and target population. For increasing feasibility, the authors should explore the participant’s opinion about the
A Descriptive research purpose was used to answer the quantitative research PICOT question. In human research, a descriptive study can provide naturally occurring health status, behavior, attitudes and other characteristics of a particular group. In descriptive studies, data is collected without interfering the environment and is also referred as observational study. Descriptive studies are conducted to examine
The main articles used in this study are summarized in the evidence table (Table 4) in the appendix section of this paper. The evidence table was set up to visualize the data from different sources obtained during the research process. The data synthesis divides the various numbers of researches distinctly based on the main author, publication date, study design, study population, data collection method and finally the outcome/results of the study.

This Prospective longitudinal study will be conducted as an experimental design in order to meet the stated aims:
The population this study is hoping to generalize is the young adult and adult population. The sampling procedure will be a convenience sampling involving Johns Hopkins University students that will then be stratified and assigned to each condition randomly. There will be at least 100 individuals involved (25 per condition in Experiment 1, 25 per condition in Experiment 2). An advertisement will be put out throughout the Johns Hopkins University campus as well as JHU SONA (an online website where students can sign up to participate in research studies). The sample is not intended to be a representative one due to the increased likelihood of having mainly college students from Johns Hopkins University participate. Because of the non-
The sample arises due to the inability of the researcher to test all participants in a given population. It is important for the researcher to ensure that the sample is representative of the population they want to test. It is also important that the sample to study must have an adequate size to warrant statistical analysis. The purpose of the sample is to allow the researcher to be able to develop conclusions that which can be applied to the population studied. The desired sample size was determined and confirmed by using statistical power analysis. Using the recommendations provided by Burkholder (n.d.), the alpha and or significance level will be set at p=0.05 and a power of 80%. Based on this, 64 total participants is estimated. The groups will be divided groups of 32 members of each for a medium effect size of 0.50 and a power of
The objective of this chapter is to describe the procedures used in the analysis of the data and present the main findings. It also presents the different tests performed to help choose the appropriate model for the study. The chapter concludes by providing thorough statistical interpretation of the findings.
