Psychology Homework Help

After reading Chapter 5, Methods and Strategies in Research in the course text, choose an original peer-reviewed research article from the Week Two Articles List (Links to an external site.) provided  (or get approval from the instructor for another article). The list of articles will allow you to become familiar with a variety of methodologies used in the study of neurobehavioral symptoms as well as an extensive range of disorders that are appropriate for study in this field. As a professional in the field of psychology, you will often be asked to summarize and evaluate relevant research in the field for various audiences in an oral presentation.

Each student must evaluate a unique article that is not being reviewed by another classmate. You must “claim” your article by Day 1 by posting your choice in the Ashford Cafe. You will create a video of your oral presentation based on the criteria listed below and post a link to your video in the discussion forum by Day 3. Use YouTube.com or Screencast-o-matic to create and upload your video to the discussion forum. Refer to the YouTube WebCam Quick-Start Guide (Links to an external site.) or Screencast-o-matic Quick-Start Guide (Links to an external site.) for step by step instructions. It is highly recommended that you review the YouTube Privacy Policy (Links to an external site.) or Screencast-o-matic Privacy Policy (Links to an external site.) information prior to submitting your video.

Your 5 minute video presentation must include the following elements: 

• Brief overview
• An analysis of the research methodology used
• Independent and dependent variables
• Study design
• Explanation of the results
• Strengths and weaknesses of the study
• Suggestions for how to improve the research design or methodology
