  • Title: Limitations, Delimitations, and Assumptions for a Research Study

    Activity 12: Limitations and Delimitations
    Activity Description
    Describe Limitations, Delimitations, and Assumptions for your study: Limitations reflect possible weaknesses in the study. The candidate must address the limitations over which they have no control. For various reasons, limitations of the study may be determined by such factors as a convenience sample meaning using participants that are not randomly selected which limits the generalizability or the transferability of the results.
    The candidate must address delimitation factors for the study. They serve to narrow the scope of the study to focus on specific criteria or to delimit to specific groups or locations. Delimitations are the aspects of the study that you have built in to limit the study. Delimitations can include but are not limited to geographic location, population of focus, age, gender, or focus of research. You should have a clear differentiation between the limitations and delimitations in this section.
    Assumptions regarding the study method will be presented. Quantitative studies must include assumptions associated with the analysis process identified in the purpose.
    Please refer to the Doctoral Project Manual and template for additional information on Chapter One.
    Submit a paper which includes the Limitations, Delimitations and Assumptions for your study. The length of this section should be 4 paragraphs.

  • Integration of Psychological Assessment and Psychotherapy: A Case Study of Gilbert Grape with Autism Spectrum Disorder

    This paper will include the integration of the principles of psychological assessment and
    psychotherapy. Students will create a case study based on a character from a movie or television

    seven pages double-spaced. The title page and references are considered additional pages.
    Please follow APA 7th edition formatting and reference style. A minimum of 6 references
    must be included (including 2007 or later journal articles).  
    In this assignment, you will watch a movie and develop a case conceptualization and treatment plan for of one of the

    have others please first confirm your selection with me.
    In your paper, please address the following: 
    1. Identify the theoretical orientation you feel is most appropriate for use in this case e.g. CBT, psychodynamic,
    DBT, client-centered etc. Describe the orientation and discuss the evidence supporting its use. 
    2. Describe your assessment process including any tests, self-report measures, interviews or other strategies and
    give a rationale for the use of each. 
    3. Using the “case conceptualization worksheet” as a guide, write out your conceptualization of the case; include
    a diagnosis based upon DSM-5 criteria (the DSM-5-TR is available as an e-book through the UNBC library) and
    the information obtained from your assessment process. 
    4. Describe the structure and timeline of the proposed approach to treatment.
    5. Identify and describe three interventions including when and for what purpose they may be used in the

  • “Exploring the Role of APA-7 Writing Style in Promoting Mental Healthcare: A Literature Review”

  • “The Structure and Components of a Research Paper in Psychology” “Exploring the Art of Digression in Writing”

    Title Page should include the title of the paper, your name, and other identifier information.
    Abstract is the short summary of the entire paper. This should be around 100 to 120 words. The abstract should include the problem/issue, the method, the results, and major conclusions. Pro tip: write the abstract after you have finished writing the rest of the paper.
    Introduction is to explain the rationale of your research to your readers. This section should give your readers a broad outline of the background and existing theories, the exact problem to be researched, the research hypothesis and the expected results. This section can sometimes include the literaturf review.
    Literature Review is where existing research and findings will be mentioned. This section provides clearer justification for your research. Start broad and get more specific as you write.
    Start with the history and the theories, narrow down to broadly related research, and finally, specific related research.
    Method should contain sufficient information for the reader to understand the replicate the study.
    Include information about your participants, your experimental design, your apparatus/materials, and describe the procedure.
    Design – section should include the type of design that was used, and all variables in the research,
    Participant – section should include number of participants, sampling method, demographic information, and study-specific criteria.
    Procedure – is like the instructions for baking a cake or making something from Lego – it describes exactly what was done in the study, how participants were instructed, whether standardised instructions were used and the order in which things were done. The procedure should be logical, insightful and contain sufficient information for the reader to follow.
    Results should report the key findings. This is not the section to explain why you think the results are as they are; that would come later in discussion. This section should only include clear and concise summary of the data (descriptive statistics) that was collected and the results of any statistical tests related to hypotheses (statistical tests). Each statistical test has its own format for reporting which should be adhered to. Use graphs if they can help better illustrate your data.
    Discussion is where you provide an interpretation and explanation of the study results. Results should be related back to research studies discussed in the introduction. The discussion outlines any limitations with the current study (e.g., Extraneous variables) and provides a rationale for future studies. Offer ideas for where future work might be directed. This section can often include the conclusion.
    References section is here you cite your academic and reputable sources in APA format.
    Appendix is where you will include supplementary information that does not fit in the paper. This can be stimuli used in your study.
    When writing a paper (starting from introduction), start broad and provide overview and background. Then narrow the focus and provide statement of purpose. Further narrow down with specific hypotheses. Report your method and procedure, and report your results. In your discussion, start specific and broaden the focus. Discuss implications in the boarder field.
    This structure may seem rigid, but it serves to ease the communication of what was done. The predictable structure provides a logical framework and provides a consistent format within the discipline. You and your colleagues know what to expect in a paper and where to find information in the paper. It also allows for readers to cross-reference your sources easily.
    Psychological writing tends to differ from other academic writings. Remember that this is not a creative writing exercise. Present an argument based on data and logical reasoning. Try to avoid using direct quotes, restate things in your own words. Avoid digressions and keep it concise.
    Footnotes are rare. If you need to elaborate or clarify a point, try to do so in the text. If there  are long digressions, use the appendix. Consider digressions carefully.
