Reflection Discussion 3: Empirical Studies on Group Dynamics—Examples of Different Methods
Instructions
In the first reflection discussion, you evaluated two sources of information about an empirical study. Empirical studies are primary sources of information and, as this module has shown, there are many ways to conduct a study. The different methods can be classified as qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods.
Before you write your initial discussion post, read the assigned chapters and watch the videos (links attached on page 2) on types of methods and the difference between qualitative and quantitative research.
Next, address the three research questions below, being sure to include the following elements.
1. Indicate whether the question is qualitative or quantitative and explain how you came to that conclusion.
2. Note which method would be best for answering each question and explain how you came to that conclusion.
3. Lastly, locate one study from a peer-reviewed journal that addressed one of the questions. Provide the reference and tell us which method the researchers used to investigate the problem, and why you think they chose that method. For example, you might note that a study used an experiment to investigate the research question because the researcher wanted to establish a causal relationship between the independent and dependent variables and show whether an intervention or treatment worked.
Research Questions
1. Is CBT or DBT more effective at treating prolonged grief?
2. How do community members feel about a proposed homeless shelter being built near them?
3. What do suicide notes tell us about possible reasons for suicide?
Your initial post should be at least 200 words, and you should provide a complete reference for each source you cited.
Reply to the posts of at least two classmates with replies of at least 150 words. Responses should be fully explained, with a complete reference for each source you cited.
Whenever you borrow content, you must cite your source. Be sure to cite and reference all assigned sources in each of your posts using APA style and be sure to use correct APA-style citations and references for all posts.
