PSY 452 Assignments Topic 1 to 8

PSY 452 Topic 1 Assignment 1: Consent and Debriefing Forms

It is imperative for psychology students to learn how to create informed consent and debriefing forms that adequately state the purpose of studies to the participants in an ethical manner. In your capstone class it is an expectation that you have a created a consent and debriefing form for your research proposal. It will be beneficial if you create this assignment around the topic you would like to research.

Create an informed consent form and a debriefing form that explains the nature and true purpose of the study. Be sure to cite your sources at the conclusion of the document.

PSY 452 Topic 1 Assignment 2: Benchmark – Ethical Studies

In 500-750 words detail the ethical standards and ethical violations you observed in research studies presented in chapter 2. include:

• Explain if anything specifically could be changed to make the studies ethical for
• Would you be able to replicate this study today? why or why not?

PSY 452 Topic 2 Assignment 1: CLC – Facebook Survey

This is a CLC Assignment.

Part 1: Each person in the group will complete the Facebook survey and administer it to four other people.

Complete the attached document “Facebook Survey Analysis,” located under the assignment tab, to complete this assignment.

PSY 452 Topic 3 Assignment 1: Article Critique – Non Experimental Designs

For this assignment, again, it is beneficial that you keep the topic you would like to research for the capstone proposal in mind. The capstone will require a literature review for your proposal, of which you may use articles obtained during this course.

Select a peer-reviewed, non-experimental research study that exemplifies a correlational and quasi-experimental design.

Write a 500-750-word paper in which you:

1. Compare the research design of the two studies
2. Were the research designs appropriate to their hypothesis (the goal of the research or research question)? Why or why not
3. Discuss the limitations of drawing conclusions from a non-experimental
4. Did the study have a random sample? Were there other problems that were noticed?

PSY 452 Topic 4 Assignment 1: Non-Experimental Design

In 1978, Gerbner, Gross, Jackson-Beeck, Jeffries-Fox, and Signorielli defined violence as ” The overt expression of physical force (with or without weapon) against self or other, compelling action against one’s will on pain of being hurt or killed, or actually hurting or killing. Must be plausible and credible; no idle threats, verbal abuse, or comic gestures with no credible violent consequences. May be intentional or accidental; violent accidents, catastrophes, acts of nature are included.”

For this assignment, you will watch three television shows and analyze them for verbal and physical violence portrayed in the show.

Then, in 250-500 words, do the following:

1. Describe what you discovered in this content
2. State the findings of your Explain how your experiment is reliable and/or valid.
3. Identify any variables in your
4. Copy and paste the tally sheet from “Non-Experimental Designs” below at the end of your paper so it is included it in your

PSY 452 Topic 5 Assignment: Article Critique – Experimental Design

For this assignment, again, it is beneficial that you keep the topic you would like to research for the capstone proposal in mind. The capstone will require a literature review for your proposal, of which you may use articles obtained during this course.

Select a peer-reviewed, experimental research study that exemplifies a two-group design and a factorial design.

Write a 500-750-word paper in which you:

• Compare the two research
• Identify the independent variable(s), dependent variable, and any possible extraneous
• Identify main effects and interactions for the factorial
• Explain if the study has a random sample and/or random assignment? Were there other limitations that were noticed?

PSY 452 Topic 6 Assignment 1: CLC – Matched Subjects Design

Working with your group members, complete the design experiment.

After completing the exercise, have a scholarly discussion around the following questions in your CLC thread:

1. Advantages for each technique. Provide at least
2. Disadvantages for each technique. Provide at least
3. Discuss the criteria used to determine the appropriateness of random assignment versus matching

PSY 452 Topic 7 Assignments: Data Analysis

Given the following students’ test scores (95, 92, 90, 90, 83, 83, 83, 74, 60, and 50), identify the mean, median, mode, range, variance, and standard deviation for the sample.

Write a 500-750 word summary and analysis discussing the results of your calculations.

1. State your results for the sample: the mean, median, mode, range, variance, and standard deviation
2. Explain which method is best for this data set. Why?
3. Conduct a one-sample t-test and interpret the results (use a population mean of 70).
4. In what situations would this information be useful?

PSY 452 Topic8 Assignments 2: Research Report PowerPoint Presentation

In 7-10 slides, not including the title and reference slides, outline your research proposal to present to your classmates. your powerpoint will need to include:

1. Introductory section, including your problem statement and your
2. Methodology section, including your description of the participants, apparatus/materials/instruments, procedure, and design you anticipate using.
