This week you will add the next three sections (setting, participants and measures) to your methodology that you started in week 1. Be sure to be extremely specific in your descriptions. We want the readers to not only clearly understand what you will be doing, but set the study up to be replicated in the future. Please address each part of the outline below clearly using APA format.
Setting -
Where will you conduct your study? Will it be conducted online (e.g. survey research) or in-person? If it is in-person, will it be in a controlled environment (e.g. lab) or in a more natural setting (e.g. public park)?
If this will be conducted in-person, give a specific location, even if it is hypothetical. Never make the location personal, like your home.
If the study will be conducted online, provide a website, like Survey Monkey, and include a URL. This may also be hypothetical
Participants -
What is your population and sample size? What type of sample is it? (e.g. random sample; purposive sample; convenience sample)
What are their demographics (age range, ethnicities, gender distribution, etc)?
Why have you chosen them?
What are the eligibility requirements for your study?
Measure(s) -
What are the variables used in your study, and how will you measure those variables? (e.g. standardized scale, observation, interview).
Go to the Keiser online library and access the database called PsycTests. From there, find an appropriate psychometric test to assess the behavior you are trying to measure in your study. You should include a description of the test. This may include relevant measures, observations, scales, questionnaires, observation guides, and document characteristics. If you will be using physical instruments only (like a blood pressure cuff), find as much descriptive information as you can on those items. When in doubt, consult your instructor if you are not sure how to proceed.
