Case File: Samantha Miller
Samantha Miller, a 20-year-old Caucasian female, is a sophomore college student majoring in Psychology at Southwest Virginia Community College. She resides with her parents and younger sibling in a rural neighborhood, coming from a middle-class background. Samantha presents with symptoms of excessive worry and tension that permeate multiple facets of her daily life. She frequently finds herself on edge, grappling with an overwhelming sense of unease that she struggles to manage. This persistent anxiety manifests in various physical symptoms, including restlessness, irritability, and muscle tension, which significantly disrupt her ability to focus on her academic studies and participate in social activities. Despite her efforts, Samantha feels constantly besieged by anxious thoughts that invade her mind, making it challenging to concentrate or enjoy leisure activities. Her concerns extend beyond the present moment, as she frequently expresses worry about her academic performance and future career prospects. These apprehensions contribute to her overall distress, exacerbating her feelings of anxiety and further compromising her well-being.

Qualitative Study Design Assignment
Joeman is interested in designing an ethnographic investigation to determine how students of different socio-economic statuses perceive the importance of a college education. He wants to show his proposal to his advisor, but has asked you for help with a number of design issues first. Below is the brief proposal, followed by a number of questions. Please answer all parts of all questions thoroughly for full points. I expect your answers will be no longer than three pages, single-spaced.
Participants: Joeman proposes using 30 participants for this study. His participants will be drawn from an introductory calculus class at an elite private university because he knows the instructor of that course. He thinks this sample will be better for his qualitative investigation than a quantitative one.
Instrumentation and Procedures: Joeman plans to ask the students a number of questions related to their socio-economic status so he can accurately classify their economic status. He also wants to ask them a number of questions related to their study habits for the calculus class because he thinks these types of questions will help him figure out the value participants place on higher education. He figures he will conduct one semi-structured interview with each of the students, and has written down a number of questions to ask each participant. He plans to ask the exact same questions to each student in the same order, and he plans that each interview will last approximately 30 minutes because the questions aren’t too hard to answer.
Proposed Data Analysis: In order to analyze the data, Joemanplans to transcribe each interview and then read the interviews over. He thinks he can quickly come up with themes by listing all the answers provided by each participant to each question and determining similarities. He doesn’t have any other plans to analyze the data because he perceives that qualitative data analysis is easier than the statistics he has learned.
Answer all parts of the following questions:
1. Critique Joeman’s current sampling strategy. Then, suggest a different sampling strategy for this study that will better help Joeman investigate the central phenomenon. (3 points)
2. Then, based on the sampling strategy you identified previously, suggest a better instrumentation plan that will help Joeman investigate the central phenomenon using the ethnographic methods he proposes. Specifically, what differentiates ethnography from other qualitative methodology, and what should Joeman do differently to conduct an ethnographic investigation here? In this section, it may be helpful to speculate regarding the types of questions he should ask of participants and the other types of data he would want to collect to complete an ethnographic study. (4 points)
3. Critique Joeman’s current study procedures and instrumentation. What ethical problems can you identify in the proposed procedures? What else should Joeman do to ensure the ethical treatment of study participants? In your proposed research design, you should include information on how data will be collected, procedures for gaining access to participants, data needed for triangulation, and allother details necessary for conducting the study. In other words, describe all details of your proposed study design as completely as possible in the design phase (knowing these procedures may change once the study is running). (15 points)
4. Critique Joeman’s choice of data analysis procedure.Suggest for him different analysis procedures that will help him better answer his research question. (3 points)

I’ll put the instructions for this paper below so make sure to look at the file I put below!!! You need it for this paper!!!
The aim for this paper is to integrate what you have been learning about developmental stages across the lifespan. To do so, you will first interview someone in a developmental stage of your choice. Your paper will be an account of what you learned from your interview and from the class about development in the interviewee’s current life stage and the stages that preceded it. 
You should address: 
• Describe your interviewee. What stage are they developmentally? What
social groups do they belong to or identify with (gender, race/ethnicity,
etc.)?
• Hallmarks of development in the interviewee’s current developmental stage
• “Individual differences” in the interviewee’s experiences and development
• Prior developmental periods, transitions between periods, and changes
across time 
Part of this assignment is designing your interview questions and conducting the interview, while the second part is translating those responses and applying course concepts to understand them better. Thus, your questions should be prepared in advance of the interview and attached to your paper as an appendix. Questions may arise during the interview and you can note those as well.
Your interviewee is doing you a favor by participating in this project. Please ask for their permission before you interview them and explain how their responses will be used. You may use a pseudonym in the paper – it is not necessary that they be identifiable. If you are interested in developmental periods before emerging adulthood (i.e., anyone under age 18), please obtain permission from their parents as well. If you are interested in childhood development, you may need to interview a parent primarily, and ask supplemental questions of the child. If you are interested in infancy or toddlerhood, you may be more limited to asking questions of the parent only (and that is just fine!). If you are interested in childhood, toddlerhood, or infancy and you interview a parent, be sure to note in the paper with whom you spoke and why. 
In your paper, paint a picture of the individual, their development in the current life stage, their development in prior life stages, and the ways in which their development has changed over time. You should also address how they may be individually different from the kinds of developmental patterns we have talked about. You should use specific course concepts. 
Format:
Your paper should be approximately 750-1000 words of body text (approx. 3-4 pages), double-spaced, 12pt Times New Roman font with 1″ margins. It should comply with APA style (7th ed.) in terms of formatting a title page, formatting any subheadings, and in-text and reference list citations. Any sources you use should be appropriately cited in the paper and included as a reference list at the end. The reference list DOES NOT count toward your word count!!! 
The grading rubric is in the file I put below as well so you can see exactly what is needed to get the best grade possible on this paper. 
Sources used must be scholarly sources and from
