This week, you will explore the naturalistic observation process as well as areas of trustworthiness. Remember, trustworthiness must be considered for any qualitative/non-experimental design. You are invited to be creative with the scenarios in so far as how they relate to the method of the given week and the questions posed for evaluation.
Here is the scenario for this week:
You are a research psychologist and have initiated a research study to assess how couples relate and communicate with each other in both mundane and conflict situations. For this study, you have opted to create a natural “home” setting at the research laboratory.
In approach to this scenario, prepare a brief paper that evaluates the following:
    Explain how you might design the “home” setting. What considerations would you make in developing the environment? Be sure to explain and support your answer.
    Determine if this is a natural or contrived research setting. Be sure to explain and support your answer.
    Determine how you might operationalize observations. Be sure to explain and support your answer. *Hint: Refer to behavioral categories and ways in which observations may be quantified.
    Explain how you might design the setting to facilitate unobtrusive observations.
    Interpret how observations could potentially be intrusive in this study. Explain the role intrusiveness would have on the setting and potential results.
Support your assignment with at least one scholarly resource. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including seminal articles, may be included.
Length: 1-2 pages, not including title and reference pages

You will now add information from this week’s materials to your Research Chart.
This week’s information is about: Non-Experimental Research Methods: Ethnography
In the corresponding section, provide the name(s) of the method you reviewed, its primary use and when it should be used, strengths and limitations of the method, ethical considerations, and one example of when the method could be used (include your interests or something more general).
Length: Updated research chart, not including title and reference pages. Be sure to cite this week’s resources used in your assignment.

You will now add information to your Research Chart (see attached).
This week’s topic to add information about is Non-Experimental Research Methods: Naturalistic Observation and the Nature of Trustworthiness in Qualitative Research
In the corresponding section, provide the name(s) of the method you reviewed, its primary use and when it should be used, strengths and limitations of the method, ethical considerations, and one example of when the method could be used (include your interests or something more general).
Length: Updated research chart, not including title and reference pages. Be sure to cite resources used in your assignment.

For this week’s reflection, consider the following points:
    Explain the research situations that may require you to use naturalistic observation (be sure to give examples/be specific).
    Examine the limitations and benefits learned about this method and its use.
    Analyze any ethical considerations with implementing this method.
    Reflect on your experience with this week’s scenario activity and case example.
    Include any questions you may have for your professor.
Length: 2-3 pages, not including the title page (and resource page if applicable)

For this assignment, you will extend your examination of the within-subjects experimental method into two hands-on activities. Referring to page 319 and the SPSS in Focus: Related-Samples t-Test in your text, follow the steps for conducting this analysis. Then, on page 323, follow the steps provided for the SPSS in Focus: One-Way Within-Subjects ANOVA.
For each analysis, include the SPSS outputs in a document. At the beginning of the document, please include a brief (1-2 sentences) interpretation of the results of each analysis. In your interpretation, identify the test statistics, identify the significance levels (p-values) and whether the result is statistically significant or not.

For this assignment, you will extend your examination of the between-subjects experimental method into two hands-on activities. Referring to page 286and the SPSS in Focus: Two-Independent-Sample t-Test in your text, follow the steps for conducting this analysis. Then, on page 292, follow the steps provided for the SPSS in Focus: One-Way between Subjects ANOVA.
