Do boys or girls respond positively to punsihment?<\/h2>\n

Paper details: Write a 16-page research proposal examining the relationship between two variables (independent and dependent variables) using all aspects of qualitative research methods (i.e., statement of the problem, review of literature, framework and hypotheses formulation, research design). Please make sure that you use APA style.
Research Proposal Guidelines<\/p>\n

Introduction (Approximately 2-3 pages)
\u2022 Introduce your issue (statement of the problem)
\u2022 Discuss its\u2019 importance to the field of social work (why should we care?)<\/p>\n

Review of the Literature (Approximately 6-8)
Each topic\/paper is different. As such, use the bullets that apply and forego the ones that don\u2019t.
\u2022 Define the variables\/constructs of interest.
This does not mean you have to write. \u201cMy variable\/s of interest are xyz.\u201d In fact, don\u2019t write that. You just have to let the reader know what the main topics of your paper are.
o How is it typically defined? (You may have come across different articles that define it in different ways. For example, if writing about aggression some authors may be looking a physical aggression, while some also examine relational aggression. Specify the ways in which it is typically discussed) & cite.
o How do you define it in the context of this paper?
\uf0a7 If you are departing from the status quo definition, how so? Why? (Do you think it is an insufficient way to define the construct?) If you depart from the status quo understanding of the construct you should have sound reason to do so and back up with existing literature.
\u2022 Provide background information on these variables and\/or social issue at hand.
o What has been found to date?
\uf0a7 Connect existing theories (Please don\u2019t feel pressured to pick random theories that have some general underpinning. Pick theories that are specific to your issue\u2014that help shed light on the matter).
\uf0a7 Discuss existing controversies in the field? Who disagrees? Who agrees? Why?
o Discuss studies that have been done to investigate the variables\/constructs of interest (quantitative and\/or qualitative)
\uf0a7 You may critique:
\u2022 How it was studied (methods, participants, etc.)?
\u2022 The quality of the research done
\u2022 Whether there are threats to internal validity?
\u2022 Whether you believe the findings mean what researchers have interpreted it to mean? Why or why not? (Refer to \u201cthreats of internal validity\u201d lecture notes\/text)
\u2022 Whether there are threats to external validity (i.e. are findings generalizable)?
\u2022 Whether there are issues with the research design? Might they have found more using a different design? Why? Did their designs create any level of doubt? Why?
o What are the \u201cgaps in the literature\u201d? (What does the field still need to know?)
o State your research question and expected hypothesis.<\/p>\n

Methods (Approximately 3-4 pages)
\u2022 Participants
o How many?
o How will you recruit them? Where from?
o Demographics [racial\/ethnic makeup, gender, sexual orientation (if related to your study), age range, etc.] Report in percentages the desired composition of your sample. Justify why this is your desired composition.
\u2022 Procedure
o When and where will you administer your measures?
o Describe particulars about the environment? (ex: In a lab? In their work setting? On a street corner? At a community Center? etc.)
o What measurements (i.e., survey, interview, observation, etc.) will you use?
o How long will the survey or interview take?
o If there are more than one measurement points (ex: the beginning of treatment and 6 months after the start of treatment) please state so, and what will be done to ensure participant retention.
o What covariates will you be controlling for? How will you measure them?
o If you are using an intervention detail the components of the intervention (how often will they receive the intervention? what professional staff is administering the intervention? Where? How long is the intervention? What are the components of the intervention? \u2013If the intervention is one that you are designing, then support with the literature why you have chosen specific components of your intervention).
\u2022 Ethics
o Are there any ethical considerations involved in this study? How would you address them?<\/p>\n

Discussion (Approximately 2-3 pages)
\u2022 Reintroduce the issue.
o What are you studying?
o Why is it important to the field of social work?
\u2022 Highlight major controversies in the field
\u2022 Discuss potential limitations of your study\u2014justifying why it is okay to continue the study despite these limitations.
\u2022 Discuss \u201cImplications for Practice.\u201d What value do you think your finding will have for the field? (*Remember, we are not looking for your opinion, but what was stated in the literature*)
\u2022 Discuss, \u201cImplications for Policy.\u201d
\u2022 Discuss, \u201cImplications for Future Research.\u201d
\u2022 Conclusion
Remember to:
\u2022 Use at least 12-15 references. Include a reference list of all sources cited.
\u2022 15-20 pages maximum
\u2022 Use APA Style in writing your paper (See Black Board for an abbreviated APA Style guide or the APA manual). Make sure the title page, running head, references, page numbering, citations etc. are in APA format.
\u2022 Be objective. This is not a journalistic, creative writing or philosophical piece. Scientific writing is much dryer than other types of writing.
\u2022 Make sure your argument is clear. Do not passively report\/summarize information.
\u2022 Cite all ideas that are not original thought. Anything else is considered plaigiarism.
\u2022 Use proper grammar (go to the Writing Center, if needed). DO NOT use colloquialisms and common sayings (i.e., do not write like you talk to your friends.) Write professionally.
\u2022 Support all opinions with previous literature.
\u2022 Never introduce new material in the \u201cdiscussion\u201d section.
\u2022 Absolutely no plagiarism! I will be able to tell if you are plagiarizing if you write something I know you have no understanding of (because it is beyond the scope of things we\u2019ve discussed in class, and is technical\/jargony language that you haven\u2019t defined within your paper).<\/p>\n
