- Research Topic Question
- The way I would approach the research topic of relating to young children and violent games is by developing specific research questions about young children and their relationship to violent video games. Conduct a thorough literature review to understand existing research on the topic. This will help you identify gaps in the literature and refine your research questions. Identify a sample of young children (e.g., ages 6-12) and their parents or guardians. Consider factors such as age, gender, and gaming experience when selecting participants. Obtain informed consent from parents or legal guardians to involve their children in the study. Conduct interviews or focus groups separately with children and parents to capture their unique perspectives. Use qualitative data collection methods, such as semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and participant observations, to gather rich and detailed information. Ensure that ethical guidelines are followed throughout the research process, especially when involving children. This includes obtaining informed consent, maintaining confidentiality, and protecting the well-being of participants.
- How many pages?
- 5-7
- Part 3 is a separate paper which is 3 pages.
- In total 10 pages
- References?
- 10 references all
- APA Style
- For purposes of this assignment, please select 10–12 articles obtained from scholarly journals that are related to your topic area. Focus on articles that examine those variables or issues that you are studying. What does the previous research say about your topic? Be sure to examine the most current literature available. For each article, you will a) state the hypothesis or research question being posed; b) describe the methodology that is being employed; c) summarize the main points/key findings, and d) identify the limitations of the research. Once you complete a review of each article, it is necessary to provide a synthesis of the material. In your synthesis, you will a) summarize the main pts that will provide a background for your study; b) discuss the themes or similarities in the studies and note any differences; and c) note how your proposed study will “fit” into the existing knowledge base. In the review of the literature, pay attention to the presence or absence of diversity characteristics within each of the studies utilized. Part 2 should be approximately 5– 7 pages in length, 12-point font, double spaced, APA style. Please be sure to include a bibliography at the end of Part 2 in APA format (see the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 7th ed., for assistance).
- Research Proposal, Part 3 (Methodology/Final Product): Please provide an overview of how you would conduct this study (method). Please note: You are not actually conducting this study; you are merely proposing it. Include a description of the research design, the variables utilized and how you will measure them, procedures for safeguarding the participants of your study, the method by which you will obtain a sample and collect data, and the limitations of your study. The Method section of Part 3 should be approximately 3–4 pages in length, 12-point font, double spaced, APA style. Once you have completed this, add Part 1 and Part 2 to Part 3 and submit it as a final product. You should make revisions to Part 1 and Part 2 and submit them when you submit Part 3. Please pay attention to my feedback on Part 1 and Part 2 and submit the revised versions with Part 3. This assignment is due prior to the start of the Live Session in Week 14. The grade for Part 3 is based on Parts 1–3. Part 3 is worth 100 pts (25% of your final grade).
