research methods

Assessment Instructions Note: You must complete and receive feedback on this assessment before moving on to submit Assessment 2. Use the Capella library to locate two psychology research articles: a quantitative methods article and a qualitative methods article. These do not need to be on the same topic, but if you have a research topic in mind for your proposal (see Assessment 5), you may wish to pick something similar for this assessment. Read each article carefully. Then, in a 2–3-page assessment, address the following elements:
1. Summarize the research question and hypothesis, the research methods, and the overall findings. TEMPLATE_PSYC-FP4600_00003: 2015-07-10 15:14:56.538051
2. Compare the research methodologies used in each study. In what ways are the methodologies similar? In what ways are they different? (Be sure to use the technical psychological terms we are studying.) 3. Describe the sample and sample size for each study. Which one used a larger sample and why? How were participants selected? 4. Describe the data collection process for each study.
What methods were used to collect the data? Surveys? Observations? Interviews? Be specific and discuss the instruments or measures fully—what do they measure? How is the test designed? 5. Summarize the data analysis process for each study. How was the data analyzed? Were statistics used? Were interviews coded? 6. In conclusion, craft 1–2 paragraphs explaining how these two articles illustrate the main differences between quantitative and qualitative research.

Therefore, to make matters easier and smoother, it is important to consider audience, purpose, and format when creating a presentation that will accompany one’s verbal communication among a group of colleagues and upper management.
Create a 15- to 20-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with speaker notes that you would use to train coworkers on effective presentation techniques.
Refer to attached Excellence in Business Communication for effective presentation techniques.
Include the following:
At least five strategies from this week’s readings on effectively developing and delivering a presentation to an audience
Tips for overcoming speaking anxiety
A description of how using presentations can help enhance the understanding of important information
Demonstrate the effective use of visual resources by including at least three images.
Note: In creating your presentation, be sure to actively model the effective presentation tips you are teaching your audience. For example, include short, precise, pertinent information on each slide and interesting and easy-to-follow graphics.
Present your Effective Presentation Skills Training.
For Local Campus students, these are 10- to 15-minute oral presentations accompanied by Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentations.
For Online Campus and Directed Study students, these are Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentations with detailed speaker notes.  MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE SPEAKER NOTES FOR EVERY SLIDE AND USE GRAPHICS.
Format your assignment according to appropriate course-level APA guidelines.  Cite and reference including graphics.  Plagiarism and spelling and grammar check.  THANKS SO MUCH!!

These points, which provide a guide or vision for the research, are present in almost any research study. The ability to identify these points is one of the first skills required in the creation of a viable doctoral dissertation. In this assignment, you will identify and evaluate 10 strategic points in a published quantitative research study.
General Requirements:
Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment:
