\n Discuss and Critique a Quantitative Research Study [WLOs: 3, 4, 5] [CLOs: 2, 4]\n <\/p>\n

\n Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read the instructor guidance, the quantitative section of Chapter 7 and all of Chapter 8 in the Creswell and Creswell text, the chapter by Meltzoff and Cooper titled\u00a0Chapter 6: Research Designs and Threats to Internal Validity\u00a0Links to an external site., and the article by Henrich et al. titled\u00a0Most People Are Not WEIRD\u00a0Links to an external site.. Also review Standard 8 of the APA\u00a0Ethical Principles for Psychologists and Code of Conduct\u00a0Links to an external site.from last week.\n <\/p>\n

\n In your initial post, consider the following:\n <\/p>\n

\n
• \n Compare and contrast the characteristics of experimental and nonexperimental quantitative research.\n <\/li>\n
• \n State the research question the researchers were trying to answer in the study.\n <\/li>\n
• \n Identify the type of quantitative research design that was used in the assigned study.\n <\/li>\n
• \n Evaluate whether the researchers\u2019 conclusion follows logically from the evidence presented.\n <\/li>\n
• \n Identify threats to internal and external validity that might apply to how this study was conducted.\n <\/li>\n
• \n Determine whether validity threats were addressed by the researchers. If so, describe how this was done.\n <\/li>\n
• \n Summarize ethical considerations that were mentioned in the research report.\n <\/li>\n
• \n Assess what ethical considerations apply to the design of the study but that were not mentioned by the researchers.\n <\/li>\n
• \n Explain how you might do a study on this topic differently and why your approach would be more appropriate than the one used by the researchers.\n <\/li>\n
• \n Evaluate whether a quantitative approach would be useful for the research topic you chose in Week 1.\n <\/li>\n
• \n Describe the actions you would take to ensure that a quantitative study on your topic would be ethical.\n <\/li>\n
• \n Support your evaluation of the study with citations and references of the required readings and other peer-reviewed sources. Refer to the\u00a0Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources\u00a0Links to an external site.tip sheet to help determine which sources are appropriate.\n <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
