Nonequivalent Dependent Variables Study Discussion

Quasi-experimental, correlational and Naturalistic Observational Designs

Zajone, R. B., & Markus, G. B. (1075). Birth order and intellectual development

Psychological Review, 82, 74-88.

In this quasi-experimental study, Zajone and Markus used archival data to examine the relationship between birth order and intellectual development. According to Ray, in Chapter 10, a quasi-experimental study does not involve random assignment into experimental groups. Because birth order could not be randomly assigned, Zajone and Markus chose a quasi-experimental design. They found that intellectual ability decreased steadily from the first-born child, and as family size increased intellectual ability decreased. The investigators also found that first-born tended to be more intellectual than later borns; however, compared to later borns, first-born tended to be more anxious and neurotic. Later-born on the other hand, tended to be more social and affectionate. The youngest children tended to be more happy and creative.

Compared to true experimental designs, the findings in a quasi-experimental designs are more limited. Thus caution must be exercised by the investigators when interpreting results. Causal conclusions are not appropriate in studies that use a quasi-experimental approach. Therefore one may not conclude a fore mentioned study that birth order caused one be more or less intelligent.

Address the following questions in detail:

  1. What kind of quasi-experimental design was illustrated in Zajone and Markus study?
  2. Discuss the limitations of the design?

Juvenile Delinquency Literature Review

Using your annotated bibliography from Week 2, write a literature review of 3–4 pages. Many peer-reviewed academic journal articles contain a literature review section. Research to find and read several of these.

The literature review is not a listing of abstracts or simple paraphrasing. If your introduction and literature review are combined, ensure that each specific point in establishing the importance of your topic is supported by citations of proper sources. The points you are emphasizing are a reflection of the research and findings that you have developed around your chosen topic. Your ultimate paper is your own unique perspective, and in the literature review you are assembling related research to support your own work.

Assignment Guidelines

  • Using your annotated bibliography from Week 2, conduct a literature review of your selected sources.
  • Your literature review should be 3–4 pages in length.

Remember to use APA style for all references and citations.

3-4 pag

Annotated Bibliography

An annotated bibliography contains a list of different sources that one would intend to use in a particular research. However, in addition to listing the different sources of information, an individual also delves deeper into understanding the context of the research studies in addition to the different strengths and weaknesses of the research. Consequently, one would not simply gather a list of possible sources of information without going throughthe content to determine the effectiveness of the content in presenting an ideal source of support for his or her ideas as presented in the research. The resulting critical review would then give the researcher an opportunity to determine whether the source is relevant or not. In addition to critiquing a particular article, one also determines how he or she would use the article in the research. In this case, the researcher would align the contents of the determined article to the outline of the study, resulting to appropriate placement of a source in explaining a particular point one wishes to make. Ultimately, the annotated bibliography helps developa potential structure for the researcher, while ensuring that the sources used in the study are fit well enough into the research topic.

Notably, policy analysts often depend on existing research to make recommendations for different organizations. While engaging in such responsibilities, it would be ineffective if the analyst simplyconsulted different internet sources and wrote down what he or she found as the suggestions made to the policy in question. Unlike having a disorganized internet search and consequent dependence on any data available, it would be more effective if the researcher conducted a research based on existing scholarly material of studies conducted by scholars with respect to the policy in question. Ultimately, the policy analyst would then end up with a list of possible research studies he or she could consult, with the consequent evaluation of the basis of the different studies presenting an opportunity to finda study conducted in an organization and situation to one he faces. In this case, he would have engaged some form of critiquing of the different sources of information, from which he would then find the most relevant recommendations for presentation to his or her employer. Otherwise, some of the information found in internet sources is based on opinions and implementation may not be any more effective than if he had just developed solutions without looking through the internet for insight (Klein, 2001). Therefore, the use of internet sources would result to the research analyst missing a basis for credibility of the suggestions made.

In essence, the use of reliable sources of information is best achieved through conducting a thorough review of the different sources, with an annotated bibliography being one of the possible ways to conduct such a review. However, there is always the need to convert the annotated bibliography into an actual literature review when one eventually delves into completing a particular research paper. In this case, one could easily experience challenges such as plagiarism if he or she does not completely understand the contents of the research that he plans to use, and copies information directly from the material. Therefore, it is essential that one goes through the different research information sources, understands the information, and the relationship between the different sources with respect to the topic of study. Additionally, knowledge of proper citation and referencing of all borrowed ideas from the different sources would be highly consequential to writing an ideal literature review from the annotated bibliography.

Business and society course writing assignment

More detail and short video covered in the file” requirement”, please read.

At the end of Ch. 8 of your textbook (starting on p. 270 in the loose-leaf version) you will find Short Incidents for Ethical Reasoning. Read “AL” and “THE HONDA AUCTION.” For each incident, you must identify the pertinent facts, the ethical issue(s), all relevant stakeholders and determine how they could be impacted by the decision that will be made, identify and apply at least one principle for ethical reasoning, and then consider alternative courses of action and choose the best course of action based on stakeholder impacts and the outcome of the application of the ethical principle. You can use A Framework for Ethical Decision Making or the Eight Steps to Ethical Decision Making (found in the CSR & Ethics Module) as a guide.

Your textbook defines stakeholders as an entity that is benefitted or burdened by the actions of a corporation or whose actions may benefit or burden the corporation. Some common examples of stakeholders would include customers, employees, suppliers, stockholders, and the community.

Businesses will almost always have multiple stakeholders, and many times their interests will conflict. This means that a business decision-maker will frequently have to make a decision in the face of competing claims from different stakeholders. The question of whose interests should be prioritized requires the exercise of judgment. This skill—examining competing claims and deciding which one is the strongest—is called evaluation. You will want to consider the power, urgency, and legitimacy that each stakeholder presents.

You should put yourselves in each stakeholder’s position—Why do they care about the outcome of the decision? How will they be affected? What outcome would they prefer? What are their arguments in support of their preferred outcome? You will want to consider the power, urgency, and legitimacy that each stakeholder presents. Two of the videos below will give you a brief review of stakeholder theory and give you an idea of what skills you will be expected to demonstrate when you complete this assignment. Additionally, writing mechanics and grammar are graded as part of this assignment. A video on improving mechanics in business writing is provided below to help refresh your memory. Viewing statistics will be collected and counted as part of the assignment’s grade.
