Develop a research proposal based on the hypothesis you proposed to test in your

Develop a research proposal based on the hypothesis you proposed to test in your previous literature review paper. Be sure to mention a childhood psychiatric diagnosis and cite the DSM-5. The proposal needs to include 1) a brief review of the relevant theoretical and empirical literature (~3 pages); 2) a clear exposition of the hypothesis to be tested (~half page); 3) descriptions of the participants, measures, procedure, and data analysis to be used (~3 pages); 4) fake results (~half page); and 5) a discussion of the implications of the proposed study for that particular area of research, assuming first significant results, then nonsignificant results (~3 pages). The hypothesis will test the relation between two variables. Maximum number of double-spaced, 12-point type pages (excluding title page and references): 10. Please use APA Publication Manual format.
Method Section:
Method
Participants
Age range, mean, standard deviation (Percentages-make sure they add up to 100%)
Gender percentages
Socioeconomic status (low, middle, high-income) percentages ((Hollinshead and redline 1958) index to assess SES)
Grade level range
Race/ethnicity percentages ( be sure percentages add up to 100%)
N = 200 (sample size)
-n ( representation of sub sample)
M = 7.67 (mean age) ; SD = 2.17
Measures- description of each instrument administered to each participant (at a min. write about 3 instruments)
-demographic questionnaire (REMEMBER TO INCLUDE)- 1 measure, cite and mention
-you can add additional questions to demographic sections
-proof that children indeed have IAD ( all children scored above — and got dx’ed withIAD)
If coding is completed, did the coders code the data independently of each other?
Were the coders blind to the study’s hypotheses?
Did the coders establish interrater reliability with an intraclass correlation (ICC) greater than or equal to .80? (greater that 0.70 is fine)
How long did each measure take to administer? – under the description of each measure used, write a sentence or so of how long it take to complete.
What are the validity and reliability data related to the instrument? – one or 2 sentences (ex. 2 diff. raters rated the same way)
How many items are on the instrument? – give reader tangible understanding of what im using
How many Likert-type scale anchor points are for each item, and what are these anchor points (e.g., 1 = “very unlikely”, 3 = “neither likely nor unlikely”, 5 = “very likely”)
How are scores summed? What is the range of possible scores (i.e., lowest to highest possible score)?
Procedure
Did the LIU Institutional Review Board (IRB) approve the conduct of this study? – one sentence**The RB approved the conduct of this study.
Did the parents sign consent forms to participate, and the children sign assent forms to participate? State that participants’ parents signed consent; also state that participant provided assent.
How did you recruit participants?
Where did the data collection take place?
How long did the data collection for each participant take?
2
Did you compensate participants? If so, how?
Ex- participants were not compensated
Data Analysis
Limited to 3 diff. types of data analysis (the one I pick will depend on the type of variable)
-Pearson Correlation (if both variables selected are continuous (variable exist on a continuum) categorical variable (ex. Male or female)
-T test (when one variable is continuous, and one variable is categorical)
-Chi-square analysis (when both variables are categorical)
Looking at relationship btw 2 variables-
-Annova?
We do not have to choose a psychodynamic theory!
Hypothesis should be quantifiable!
Hypothesis (not proven, but tested)
-Pearson correlation
-2 continuous variables (exists in continuum like IQ or weight)
-you can measure the distance
-use a small r (just r italicized not the number) ex. r = 0.37 (range from + 1.0 to -1.0)- ir r is 0, there’s no relationship
-p<0.05 (italicize p) p < 0.05(significant) if p > 0.05, there’s no significant
– T-test (italicize)
-use when one variable is continuous and the other one is categorical (only 2 categories) (categories are equivalent in a way ( dichotomous))
T(23) – 7.42, p < 0.05 -F (Italicize it)- ANOVA ex. F(33,3) = 7.42(usually a number less than 10), p < 0.05 -dependent variable is continuous -independent variable needs to have 3 categories -Pearson Chi-Square Analysis -use when both variables are categorical X(N = 100) = 7.42, p < 0.05 (sample size Results (bold in middle of page) Significant -Assume results were correct and significant (one sentence or 2) Ex. A Pearson correlation was conducted and were not significant, p = Non-significant (not needed for presentation) - suppose that hypothesis is incorrect, and the results were not significant Discussion (where you help reader understand reader about significant results or non-significant) for back to lit review and pull out Significant Non-Significant Why results weren’t significant - DO NOT USE EXPLANATION OF MEASUREMENT ERROR What constitutes as a variable? -varies -constant does not vary ( in my case Illness Anxiety Disorder would be the constant) - IAD in only children vs children with siblings- are only children more susceptible to developing IAD? -dichotomous variables
