week 1


topic:Social Psychology on self efficacy

reason for choice:since Self-efficacy has become an important variable within social psychological research on its association with various favorable consequences related to mental health.

Developing a r esearch p roposal is a good way to experience the r esearch aspects of social psychology firsthand without conducting an actual r esearch study. 

In this a ssignment, you need to develop a r esearch p roposal. 

Introduction

  • Literature Review
  • Methodology
  • Discussion and Conclusion
  • References

Each week, you will concentrate on creating a section of the r esearch p roposal.  The Methodology section may be based on either of the two major r esearch designs, quantitative and qualitative. You will develop the f inal p roject as the course progresses by collating all the sections and incorporating them into a f inal p roposal due for submission in Week 10.

********This Week*****************

Work on the Introduction section of the r esearch p roposal. Include the following:

  • Select a topic for your r esearch p roject.
  • Explain why this topic is of interest to you (Be careful not to use first-person as this is a formal p aper).
  • Explain the topic and describe the potential research areas in the topic.

Using APA format, be sure to parenthetically cite your sources, and Reference on a separate page.
