Question 1
Discuss two new pieces of information you have learned about trauma and how to treat children and families impacted by trauma. Be comprehensive and thorough.
Question 2
Review The National Child Traumatic Stress Network website (https://www.nctsn.org/ Links to an external site.). Identify one treatment that is interesting to you. Describe it briefly here. https://www.nctsn.org
For this assessment, you will create a research proposal centered on a testable research question and hypothesis, substantiated with peer-reviewed research. In the following course, Research Methods II, you will actually conduct research around your research question, guided by your proposal. You are required to use your Southern New Hampshire University classmates as your research participants, so keep in mind when creating your research question and proposal that the topic must be approachable and able to be answered by your colleagues. You are prohibited from using anyone outside of Southern New Hampshire University for your study.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Problem Statement: Describe the general topic you will address and its importance and relevance to real-world issues.
Literature Review: In this section, you will use existing research on your subject and draw conclusions for informing your research proposal.
Summarize existing, applicable research in the field around your topic, utilizing peer-reviewed sources.
Identify the different research designs that have been used to generate knowledge on this topic, and describe how they differ.
Differentiate between the research designs for their advantages and disadvantages in addressing the research questions, providing specific examples from the research.
Evaluate the appropriateness of the research designs to the research questions, providing justification for your assertions. Which design seems most appropriate in addressing the question and why?
Summarize what is unknown or uncertain about your topic, synthesizing applicable existing research.
Discuss the appropriateness of the data analysis procedures used in the literature as they relate to the American Psychological Association’s principles and standards. Consider the assumptions made and presentation of data.
Research Question and Hypothesis
Create a testable research question based on your research about the topic.
Create a testable hypothesis based on your research question and research about the topic, explaining the extent to which the research supports your hypothesis.
Describe the variables that will be measured and manipulated in your study, and explain the selection of variables. Specifically, what independent and dependent variables will be used to test your hypothesis?
Proposed Methodology
Outline whom you plan to use as participants and how many participants you will need, providing justification.
Describe the materials (such as surveys) that will be used in your study and why these materials are most appropriate for your proposal, justifying claims with resources.
Describe the procedures you will use to collect your data and how these will appropriately address your research question.
Discuss the ethical concerns involved in your study and the steps you will take to remedy them. Consider who will be studied, what risks they will be exposed to, and what steps will be taken to maintain their responses’ confidentiality and obtain informed consent.
Data Analysis Plan
Explain what procedures you will use to prepare your raw data for analysis. If you have open-ended questions, how will they be coded? If you collected responses to multiple survey questions, how will the data be aggregated for analysis?
Propose general analytical procedures that you will use to analyze your data, and explain how these procedures will help obtain valid and reliable research results.
Describe which descriiptive statistics that could be obtained from your data would be most informative in answering your research question and why.
Discuss how your proposed data analysis methods are ethical and aligned with the American Psychological Association’s principles and standards.
Anticipated Results: What do you expect the results of your study to be, and how do your expected results complement or contradict the results in previous literature?
You could start off with a brief summary, but from there, pull something out of the assigned article that interests you, and talk about that. Connect your interest, and the article, to the class and things we’ve talked about recently. Source another article that adds something to that conversation.
Submissions should be at least two pages (more is fine), double spaced, Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins, only your name and section in the top left corner, page numbers in the upper right.
Check the homepage for an APA formatting link.
Each article paper should include APA in-text citations and a reference page (include both the assigned article, and the article that you source yourself).
Because of the subject matter (history), up to one (short) direct quote is okay. More than that won’t work- I need to evaluate your writing, not theirs!
Please do not write out the names of articles. Use APA in-text citations with name(s) and date, only.
Less than two pages will be graded as the percentage of two pages received (e.g., a single page page could receive up to 15 of 30 points). I’m not trying to be overly punitive, just fair to everyone. All else equal, a page and a half of well-written and reasoned text is not equal to two pages.
If the similarity score is over 15% (not including references and in-text citations), please rewrite and submit again. The best way to avoid high similarity rates is to read the material, then put it away altogether as you write! I know it’s anxiety-inducing in some ways, but I also know you can do it.
Source at least one additional article to add depth and relevance to the topic of the first. This could look many ways, including (but not limited to) an article or book chapter from a similar time period that is in agreement or disagreement, a contemporary article with new findings, etc. Linking the content to personal experience/opinion, class topics, and the relevant timeline is also important.
If it helps, here is what I would do: read the assigned article -> think about what it means and where it connects -> find another article based on the above criteria and read it -> make an outline (e.g., talk about assigned article content, then what it means to me personally and society in general, bring in my other article and how it connects to the first, personal/societal reflection, wrap up) -> put them both away -> write -> read over and edit as needed -> submit in time to check turn-it-in similarity and rewrite parts of it, if needed. This may not be your process, and that’s fine! If you’re stuck though, it could work until you find your own balance.
These may be turned in up to 2 days late for up to full credit, then close.

Topic
(Course Book: Redish, A. D. (2010). The MInd within the Brain: How We Make Decisions and How Those Decision Go Wrong. New York: Oxford University Press./ I have attached Research Project introduction and several PPT files containing course contents)
You are to select a topic related to the cognitive neuroscience of decision making
A detailed exploration of a topic only touched on in class or
A realted topic we didn’t discuss at all in class or
An application of the course material to an area of your interest
This is an opportunity for you find an intersection between the course content and your other interests. Decision making is relevant to almost every human endeavour from art to science to medicine to engineering to sports to business.
I need 3 files
Research proposal: 1-page description of your topic and how you will approach it
Formatting: approximately 1 page typed proposal, list references in APA format (these can be on a second page), no other formatting requirements!
Content: describe your topic, discuss how your topic relates to the cognitive neuroscience of decision making, provide an overview of how you will approach the topic, provide 2 or 3 examples of the relevant research literature (not invluding ariticles from the course)
Research presentation: ~10 min presentation to the class on you chosen topic
Formatting: PowerPoint slides are welcome
Content: this is an opportunity to share your research topic with the rest of us, describe the topic and explain what the research shows (and what is not known!), you don’t need to include everything in your research paper. For a presentation, it is better to present a few ideas clearly rather than to try to cover everything hurriedly, add your own personal view. For example: Why is this topic of interest to you? What are your conclusions based on the research? Or what research needs to be done next?
Research paper: 12 to 15 page paper discussing your topic in depth
Formatting: 12 to 15 page double-spaced typed report, list cited references in an APA-formatted reference section, no other specific formatting requirements
Content:
well-written and free of errors in spelling, grammar, and usage
Makes appropriate use of references from peer-reviewed journals (go beyound the readings discussed in class, use articles relevant to topic, and accurately represent their findings, integrate the findings into a coherent argument (don’t just summarize them))
Develops a well-organized and thought-out argument (1. Clear structure, for example: introduction laying out topic, two or four main points/sub-topics supported by research evidence, conclusion bringing it all together : 2. Your point of view as the author should come through, for example: the way you have organized the literature, your opinions about the different approaches, your ideas about the needed directions for future research
Thanks so much!
