NOTE FROM PROFESSOR:
I hope you are doing well. For the Week 4 assignment, please continue using the three articles you chose in Module 2 for this assignment. All you need to identify for this week’s paper will be found in the methods section for each research article. You can use the grading criteria as your subheadings in your write-up for each article.
Sampling: the selection process of study participants that are usually related to your assignment’s target population. The researcher will use random sampling (probability) or non-random sampling (non-probability).
Target Population: the people the researcher wants to recruit for their study.
To describe your assignment’s target population, please indicate the participants in each study. For example, veterans, homeless people in the U.S., parents whose children have been removed, etc.
Measures: instruments used to measure the concepts based on their operational definition. For example, the Beck’s Depression Scale is one of the most widely used tools to measure depression.
You can use the questions under each criterion to complete the assignment. Review the Grading Criteria below for details on point distribution.
