Applied research

advantages and disadvantages, so it is impossible to determine which is better, as each study’s effectiveness depends on its nature. Case studies, experiments, and correlational studies all have something in common, though: they can all be affected by research bias. This is a disadvantage in any study, and can sometimes drastically affect the results. A case study can be defined as “an intensive description and analysis of a specific group.” (Christensen, 2013). In a case study, one person is…

The concept of validity in research has been broadly used in academia and by researchers in different fields of study. The dictionary of social research methods compiled by Jupp (2006) defines validity as “the extent to which conclusions drawn from research provide an accurate description of what happened or a correct explanation of what happens and, why.” Similarly, Creswell (2014) described validity as a procedural benchmark for assessing the accuracy of an investigation and the conclusions…

Forensic Forensic psychology applies principles of psychology to legal questions and issues. Even though, psychologists were involved in providing expert testimonies since the early 1900’s but it was in 1962 that U.S District Court of Appeals clearly recognized the role of psychologists as experts in court and by 2001 council of representatives of the APA voted to recognize forensic psychology as a speciality in psychology. The main role of forensic psychologist is to evaluate and conduct…

whose current research areas of interest coincide with my intentions are: Professor Sue Winton and Professor Lisa Farley. Professor Sue Winton’s incentive towards policy-making expounds my interests in the discursive implications of anti-bullying discourse frameworks. Coincidental, Professor Winton`s article critically evaluating how policy constructs bullying in Ontario, is intimate to the premise of my research analyzing how Canadian post-secondary anti-bullying…

extensive network of research and advocacy. The New York Times published an article evaluating the findings, explaining how prominent academics, such as Professor Wayne Parrott of University of Georgia, are involved not only in exploratory research in agrichemistry, but also in promoting the findings to policy makers. Many of these academic were recruited due to their prior advocacy- advocacy independent of corporate influence and based in their interpretation of the research. By channeling…

and the research results may not be generalize. Ethical issues related to the conduct of the study Ethical issues adequately addressed? The researcher didn’t mentioned about the ethical issues on the body of the research. However, she shared an example of informed consent form in the appendix. Measurement quality of key variables Researcher used procedures that would increase your confidence in the credibility of the…

to investigate the cause of the existing conflicts in modern slavery in Indonesia and the possibility of applying some traditional culture and values such as Javanese, Sundanese, Balinese, Papuan to solve them. 3. Literary Review Secondary research is a research method that analyses data or information from books, journals, and other types of literatures.

One of the questions that makes me motivated to go to school is “Am I willing to live without some of the luxuries of life for a while”.

I think the way to get to a luxury life is to be educated. The Idea of luxury and money and being completely indecent had motivate me that a graduate school is for me. One of the questions that made me not so motivated…

Salkind Assignment 1 The article, The Clinical Representativeness of Couple Therapy Outcome Research Family Process by Wright et al., (2007) uses different statistical procedures such as ANOVA, mean, standardized deviation, probability, and correlation coefficient to support their hypothesis. The results from this study provide support to the hypothesis that clinical representativeness of couple therapy outcome studies is a meaningful construct and a reliably assessed by independent observers.…

The whole research was based on the individual secondary research. All the statistical data were obtained from the dataset of official statistics. The CPI in Japan and the Indian CPI were drawn from the World Bank Group and the nominal exchange rate came from the IMF. For collecting these data, it is no doubt that the secondary research method was the feasible way in comparison with the primary research. However, there were three limitations of the entire research. The first source of weakness…
