Did the participates receive any form of incentive State your sampling procedure

 Method

Sections

The Method section has three main subsections

Participants

Materials

Procedure

Each subsection can have its own heading

Participants

How many?

How were they selected (e.g. from Academic Writing and Reading Class).

Essential demographics information: percentage female (or male), age range and average age, and the percentage of participants belonging to various ethnic groups if any. Include what is relevant only.

Discuss rules used to include other participants if any. However, it is not necessary to include if no data were excluded.

Did the participates receive any form of incentive

State your sampling procedure, (Random, convinience e.t.c.), for example “We randomly selected 100 children from high schools near UCASS main campus."

Example 1

Example 2

Example 3

Materials

In this section, you should provide a description of any equipment or physical settings that were important aspects of your study.

Example:

Measuring participant's response speed to a stimulus on a computer screen.

You have to describe: software you are using, important characteristics of the monitor (size, refresh rate, contrast, etc. but not always necessary), and distance of participants from the monitor.

Discuss variables, control variables, and any extraneous variables that might influence your results.

Explain whether your experiment uses a within-groups or between-groups design.

Example: The experiment used a 3x2 between-subjects design. The independent variables were age and understanding of second-order beliefs.

Questionnaire

The source of the questionnaire. Cite. Include the tool full name followed by abbreviation and citation of original author Occupational Stress Indicator (OSI; Cooper, 1997), after that, you can call it the OSI.

What is the questionnaire measuring? Note: questionnaire is an instrument to measure variables not to test hypothesis.

For example, your questionnaire cannot directly measure “whether Chinese boys have different attitudes toward basketball.” Your questionnaire can only measure attitudes.

The number of items in your questionnaire

If you are creating a new questionnaire, place the full set of items in an Appendix and refer the reader to the Appendix:

Any reliability estimates (e.g., Cronbach’s alpha, test-retest reliability) that might be available from previous research.

Example 1

Example 2

Procedure

The researcher provides a step-by-step description of the participants’

experience.

Don't Describe:

Any data analysis

Actions taken by the researcher that do not directly involve the participants.

Procedure

Step-by-step of how you collected the data

Were surveys filled out in a classroom? The mall? Was the researcher present?

Procedure

Write in order which events occurred

usually starts with informed consent procedure

Discuss experimental design

Describe each condition, how students were assigned to each condition (randomly assigned), counterbalancing, etc.

When? (during regular class time?)

Instructions to participants

Where? (each person in own room or group format?)

How? (paper and pencil? Internet? All in one packet? Order of measures?)

Debriefing

Things to include

Instructions to participants. What were they told the study was about? “Participants were briefed that the study was designed to decribe male behaviour toward speeding”.

Informed consent. Did the researcher administer informed consent?

Assignment to conditions. How was this done? Were participants randomly assigned?

Experimental manipulations. How were participants treated across conditions?

Duration. How long did the procedure take? “Participants generally completed the questionnaire within 10 minutes.”

Debriefing. Were participants debriefed? Were they given a written debriefing or did the researcher conduct an oral debriefing?

Dismissal. This is a concise way to conclude the Procedure section, e.g., “Participants were given a written debriefing, thanked for their participation, and were dismissed.”

Homework

Write the method section:

Collect your data

Perform reliability and validity tests on your samples and instruments used(If self designed).

Write your Method exactly as discussed in class

Be open to changing everything about your topic, including your position and audience, as you research it and get feedback from your classmates. Topic + Position/Purpose + Supporting Points =Thesis Statement Example: Suppose the question you posed in the Week 5 discussion was something like, “Should pit bull terriers be banned in my community?” After doing some preliminary research, you have concluded that pit bulls, if raised properly, are no more dangerous than other breeds of dogs. Your thesis statement can be something like, “Pitbulls should not be banned

Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders

 Assignment: Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders The  DSM-5-TR  is a diagnostic tool. It has evolved over the decades, as have the classifications and criteria within its pages. It is used not just for diagnosis, however, but also for billing, access to services, and legal cases. Not all practitioners are in agreement with the content and structure of the  DSM-5-TR , and dissociative disorders are one such area. These disorders can be difficult to distinguish and diagnose. There is also controversy in the field over the legitimacy of certain dissociative disorders, such as dissociative identity disorder, which was formerly called multiple personality disorder. In this Assignment, you will examine the controversy surrounding dissociative disorders. You will also explore clinical, ethical, and legal considerations pertinent to working with patients with these disorders.
