A good LSQ is a rhetorical tool that scholars can use to identify the scope of an investigation. For investigations in the field of psychology, LSQs are designed to ask about phenomena associated with the behavior, thoughts, and feelings relevant to the experiences of the target population. The scope is described in the LSQ in terms of the target population (age, gender, specific qualities related to the phenomena under investigation such as diagnosis, relationship status, and educational level); variables of interest (such as specific behaviors, attitudes, emotions); psychological concepts (stimulus-response, developmental stage, stigma); and phenomena under investigation.
The LSQ is presented as a question that researchers can bring to a specific body of literature to clarify the goals of the investigation. Your LSQ should be somewhat broad, as you will later develop your Research Question (RQ) from your LSQ. Your RQ will be more narrowly defined, which will lead to your research methodology.
Your first step in the development of the integrated project will be to develop a plan for identifying what we know so far about your topic. Identify an area of the literature in psychology that you wish to explore in depth; choose an area that truly interests you and that connects with your area of specialization.
Examples:
Note: In Chapter 3, you will provide a detailed explanation of the methodology you have chosen, but your RQ must align with this chosen methodology, as it is the first step.
Be careful to explain why you believe this topic will be of service to the field, psychology professionals, and those identified in the topic-selection process. Support your rationale with evidence from peer-reviewed research identified in your searches of the literature in psychology.
Your goal in this post is to begin the process of developing the literature search question (LSQ). Your instructor will help you to refine and further develop it as the course progresses.
Steps to writing a good LSQ:
LSQ examples:
For this discussion post, use these headings to organize your work:
Explain your search strategy and identify search terms. Specify the databases you plan to search, such as EBSCO HOST and Academic Search Premier, and tools like Capellas Summon or Google Scholar. We recommend using the Capella library Database Research Log (linked in Resources) to keep track of databases searched and the keywords used.
Present your topic in the form of a question that will guide your search of the literature. As you identify your topic, be sure to identify the context that the population inhabits. Consider identifying gender, developmental stage, age range, region, diagnoses or health status, intervention or therapy, assessment tools, racial identity, ethnic identity, class, history, and other specifics associated with the questions that you wish to explore.
Identifying the appropriate scope of the LSQ is important; developing a good LSQ will probably require a minimum of eight resources. Identify at least six sources as you start this first stepgood sources will be key to developing the foundation of the proposed study.
Remember that you are only proposing to do new and original research. You will not collect data.
Post your topic and description of your LSQ in a Word document. In addition, please copy and paste the document content into the message box for your post submission. Do not be concerned if Word formatting is not preserved.
This discussion is an exploration of how the health belief model applies specifically to obesity as a public health issue.
Answer the following questions:
Support your statements using the readings in this units studies on obesity and the health belief model (HBM). Remember to consult the APA manual or other APA resource to make sure your citations are formatted correctly.
FINAL ASSIGNMENT: Write an Essay (1000-1500 words): choose a successful comedy film (successful meaning critically and/or financially) and explain how the political and/or social climate of the time impacted the film. What was happening at the time it was made, and how did that contribute to the humor and the films success? Why did we find this funny? Whats the point of view presented by the film or filmmaker? How is cinematic language being used to convey the humor and theme of the film? Are there other noteworthy films of this style? Has this style or anything in the film become outdated, and if so, why?
Be thorough in your essay, citing specific examples. You must choose a film that you are able to talk about for more than a paragraph. If you’re having trouble thinking of a film, I recommend starting with a genre or style of comedy you like, doing some research on the noteworthy films from that genre, studying what was going on at the time they were being made, and from there choosing the one you find most interesting. Feel free to contact me if you are really struggling (but do not do so at the last minute!)
Please do not exceed 1500 words if you can, as I have limited time to read 36 essays before final grades are due.
The topic for this discussion is ways in which theories can be applied to the HIV/AIDS public health issue. Make sure you can answer the following questions related to the significance of the HIV/AIDS issue in the United States:
Self-efficacy is the belief in your own abilities to overcome any difficulty. In Bandura’s words, it is your “self-system.”
This assignment applies self-efficacy theory as a means to understand the motivations and influences behind one’s ability to take personal responsibility to do what is necessary to be healthy.
Use the resources in this unit to deepen your understanding of how the self-efficacy theory and Bandura’s social cognitive theory relate to the behavior and personal responsibility of people in a public health situation.
Examine any real-life situation related to a public health issue, choosing an issue that has affected the life someone you know, such as infectious diseases, food safety, air or water quality, unsanitary living conditions, emotional or physical abuse. Note: Ensure the confidentiality of this person by changing names and other potentially revealing information.
Note: To fully understand how this assignment will be graded, be sure to review the Self-Efficacy Theory and Personal Responsibility scoring guide.
In addition to the criteria in the scoring guide, you must also ensure your assignment meets the following requirements:
Submit your document as an attachment to this assignment.
Note: Your instructor may also use the Writing Feedback Tool to provide feedback on your writing. In the tool, click the linked resources for helpful writing information.
You have been smoke-free for a year. You are celebrating your one-year anniversary and it is time to reflect on the past. You are also aware that you must take one day at a time.
In this spirit, you try to answer the following questions:
Post your responses to the questions and provide at least two references supporting your answers.
Once you do this, you will see that your answers partly reflect being in the maintenance stage of the Transtheoretical Model (TTM).
Imagine that you have been a smoker for over 20 yearstwo packs of cigarettes a day. You are developing recurring symptoms including shortness of breath, a persistent cough, congestion, and general feelings of apathy. You know that smoking is at the root of many of these symptoms.
It is time to take stock of the situation. You decide to sit down, ask yourself about your smoking habit, and put your answers on paper.
Complete this discussion by responding to the following questions from the perspective of a long-term smoker and provide at least two references to support your answers.
Once you do this, you will see that your answers partly reflect being in the precontemplation and contemplation stages of the TTM.
Use this exercise to clarify your core values. Having done so, you can apply the same clarification process to any theory or model you read about in this course.
Think of one of your core values. Then write down answers to the following questions:
