For this assignment, you will prepare a full research proposal, which will include an edited version of Literacy #2 assignment plus a method section that includes a detailed account of your proposed participants and recruitment process, measures and materials, and procedures. Your methods should serve to directly answer your proposed research question. Your paper should be formatted using APA 7th edition guidelines with a title page and should be a maximum of 11 pages (double-spaced, with font and margins in accordance with APA standards– or your CA/Instructor will ‘convert’ to same and then judge your paper’s length). Note this length maximum does not include your title page or references. Note, also, that for the purposes of this assignment, one paragraph comprises 5-8 complete sentences.
This assignment should synthesize the current literature, provide justification for your research investigation, and provide an ethically sound (and ideally entirely feasible, in terms of budget and time) methodological approach.
The following areas are required. It is also required that you use these very headings (e.g., “Problem Statement”) and sub-headings (e.g., “Participants and Recruitment”) in your paper (see the rubric below these instructions for additional details):
Title Page: An APA Student Paper title page.
Abstract: A brief summary (not more than 250 words) of the main points of your research proposal.
*Problem Statement: Describe your general topic and its relevance to real-world issues. This section provides general background for your topic and highlights the need for further experimentation. Minimum of 1 Paragraph
*Literature Review: Summarize the existing literature and its findings. It provides the background and context for the proposed research study and alerts the reader to the key concepts in the research area. The primary goal of a critical literature review is to establish the groundwork necessary to justify pursuing a research question. In presenting your topic, highlight what has come previously in the research literature in a logical fashion, and smoothly connecting to your research proposal. Remember, there must be a logical connection between the critical literature review and your proposed research question. The literature review is also used to point out methodological and conceptual issues. You are to describe the type of research designs, the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches, and the appropriateness of the statistical analyses used to address the reviewed articles’ research questions. Your review should discuss: (a) study design, (b) purpose, (c) sample size and characteristics, (d) key findings/arguments and important interpretations, and (e) any noted methodological strengths or weaknesses. 5-6 paragraphs *Gap(s) in the Literature: Next, identify what remains unknown in your topic that provides justification/rationale for your own study. This is a detailed discussion of the purpose for your proposed study. Begin this section with the strengths of the research you have reviewed. Then, discuss the weaknesses and the gap in the research that you are going to address through your proposed study. This gap should clearly follow from the research reviewed and should be related to the methodological weaknesses you have identified. Minimum of 1 Paragraph
*Research Question, Variables, and Hypotheses: In the previous sections you built a strong foundation for what has previously been studied and what gaps exist. In this section, you will present the research question you are proposing be studied. The research question must incorporate the (1) Independent Variable and Dependent Variable, or (2) two co-variables if a correlational design is proposed. (The research question may also indicate the target population, if unique.) Next, state your null hypothesis, your research/alternative hypothesis, and your specific prediction. Clearly state whether you would employ a correlational, quasi-experimental, or experimental design. Lastly, describe the (i) IV and DV. or (ii) co-variables, you are proposing be used. 1-2 Paragraphs
Methods: This section should outline your intended research design, sample characteristics, procedures, and planned data analysis. Your method should be linked to your research question and hypotheses, and should be justified based on past literature. Pay close attention to creating original work in this section. If you end up mirroring any portion of past studies, make sure to appropriately cite those sources. Methods should be clear and explicit enough that any other scientist in the field could replicate your study. The following subsections are required:
Participants and Recruitment: Describe the potential participants in enough detail that your sample is easy to visualize. Describe how you will go about recruiting the participants, and how many you will need and why. Consider where you will find your participants and any advertisements you may use to help aid with recruitment efforts. Make sure to identify how the study aligns with the APA principles and standards for conducting research with human subjects. Minimum of 2 Paragraphs
Measures and Materials: Describe the measure(s) you propose using. Note these should help you operationalize your Independent and/or Dependent Variable(s), or one or both of your co-variables (if proposing a correlational design). Explain the types of questions contained in each measure to demonstrate construct validity, and describe the response options and procedures for scoring the instrument. Include the method of measurement that will be used (e.g., self-report questionnaire, behavioral observation rating, eye tracking). You must have a clear explanation of how the measurement attained reliability and validity. Include any additional materials that would be needed to complete the requirements of the study, and/or laboratory configurations if applicable. 1-2 Paragraphs
Procedures: Explain in detail how you would go about conducting the study. Explain what would happen to participants in the study, and what they would do. Examples of information to be described in this section would be how the manipulation or survey, if applicable, would be administered. 1-2 Paragraphs
References Page: You are required to have a minimum of six scholarly, peer-reviewed reference citations. These should be organized and formatted per APA 7th edition style guidelines. See Chapter 9 of the APA Publication Manual 7th edition for more details, or https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/index.html.

In this course, learners demonstrate knowledge, scholarship, and research proficiency in their chosen psychology specialization by developing a research proposal. As they engage with a faculty mentor in the preparation of a five-chapter integrative project, learners develop and demonstrate academic and professional competency in proposing new and original research, writing and applying for grants, adhering to ethical standards, addressing diversity and individual variation in psychology, and explaining psychology concepts.

Choose from one of the following options.
Option 1: Discuss various models or conceptualizations (e.g., Gottman, Emotionally-Focused, Imago Therapy, Solution-Focused, Narrative, Bowenian—or other intrapsychic models) found in the literature that address relational/marital intimacy. Compare and contrast them with consideration of a biblical worldview and clinical utility. Choose 1 model and discuss how you would apply it to helping a premarital or remarital couple with intimacy issues.
Option 2: Discuss how you would work with a premarital couple when each partner’s previous marriage was dysfunctional, involved sexual infidelity, and was highly conflictual. Discuss 2 theoretical marital models of therapy and how you would help the couple limit the impact of those previous marriages upon their current marriage.
Option 3: Countertransference is a significant variable in providing any type of counseling. What are likely or possible countertransference issues that might occur in premarital/remarital counseling? Discuss how each possible issue might impact the provision of counseling services to particular clients/couples. Explain what ethical and legal issues might be involved with issues of countertransference.

Literature Review, Outline, and Questions: Each student will be required to find an article or chapter dealing with outcome research in psychotherapy. She or he will then read and study this article or chapter, and develop an outline with complete reference from this article. If an article is chosen, it should be a Literature Review article or a Meta-analysis article, dealing with the treatment of a specific disorder. If a chapter is chosen, it should also deal with empirically-supported treatment of a specific disorder (hint: the Barlow book I suggest you buy is a compendium of such chapters, and any chapter in that book will work for this assignment 😊). This outline will be provided to all of the other students in the course (hopefully via BlackBoard). The outline should be no more than 3 pages long, It will contain: 1) complete citation information for the article or chapter, 2) an outline that is well organized, clear, concise yet thorough, and that presents the central information from this article or chapter. 3). The outline itself will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this study, as seen from the perspective of the Empirically-supported treatment movement (I have provided articles regarding this movement and how to evaluate research using its tenets). 4) The last component will be 3 multiple choice questions that the students will be able to answer from the information in the preceding sections of the outline.  The purpose of this assignment is: 1) to allow the student to gain advanced knowledge in a specific area of interest (possibly related to career goals and treatment of a specific demographic or syndrome), 2) to demonstrate how to access, evaluate, and apply information from peer-reviewed journals and professional
manuals.
