The first study utilized a sample of 20 Vietnam combat veterans who were randomly assigned to one of three groups, one of which being EMDR (Albright & Thyer, 2009). While the therapist used in this study was EMDR trained, the extent of that training was not indicated. Only two sessions were provided, and repeated measures ANOVA yielded no significant effects for any of the psychological measures (Albright & Thyer, 2009). The second study utilized 25 Vietnam combat veterans who were randomly…

For example, there must have been randomization of the sample group and appropriate care and diligence shown in the allocation of controls. I also tried to make my report as valid as possible as I attempted to get a sample of the whole teenage population. Furthermore, I gave all individuals that I distributed my questionnaires to an option to withdraw from my research, and also to see my…

questioning and would use a similar tactic. Below I choose the question using this style focused on the area of racial discrimination as it is currently a hot topic and as a business major would affect my future organization. For instance, here is a sample question I would ask to find out how one felt about racial equality within their organization: a) Use the following scale to respond to each item on this survey. Response Scale: 1 = Strongly Disagree 2 = Disagree 3 = Agree 4 = Strongly…

There were 32 university students (12 men, 20 women) in the present work. They were randomly assigned to red, blue, and white test papers. Results showed a higher group means from the red test paper condition. This discrepancy is likely due to small sample size and habituation to the color stimuli over time. Comparison to other modes of test administration (i.e., computers) and implications to applied research were discussed for future directions. The ubiquity of color affects…

Single-case designs are useful when researchers want to examine an individual’s unique behavior rather than focusing on the behavior of a group of participants; this makes case experiments an optimal technique for both clinical and counseling psychologists as well as behavioral analysts. While the name implies that only one subject is being studied throughout the whole experiment, this design can accommodate several individuals; although, typically this design is not used on large groups of…

Some past research limitations include a small sample size, no control group, insignificant difference between dose levels and only comparing HAI to no HAI. Having a small sample size is a limitation because it is uncertain if the results of the study can be generalized. No control group can be a limitation because there is nothing to compare the results of the…

When asked why I want to pursue my educational doctorate at Drexel University, I vividly recalled the day I registered for my first undergraduate college courses. I was completely overwhelmed and initially registered for courses that were not even applicable to the program I selected. As I pursued my undergraduate degree, I had the privilege to work with campus administrators in the Office of Student Activities, thanks to the recommendation of my advisor. I will be forever grateful for that…
