[WLO:3] [CLO: 6]

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read of the Newman (2016) textbook, view the instructional tutorials embedded in the How to Locate Scholarly Articles quiz (, , , and ), view the tutorial in the Ashford University Library, and read in the . Part of the preparation work for applying the scientific method is to define the research topic and learn what is already known about it, based on previous research.

Using the topic you selected for the Week 1 discussion, go to the Ashford University Library and find three scholarly/peer-reviewed journal articles about the topic. Download the full-text PDF of each article and save them on your computer.

In this paper, you will describe your research topic, identify the articles you found, and discuss what you think each ar

• Review the Week 3 Learning Resources.
• Think of a time when you were influenced by someone else to make a substantial change in your life (e.g., enroll in your program at Walden; change jobs; move to another city; or address a habit, such as to stop smoking). 
• Recall the details of the situation, including the person who influenced you. 
• Analyze the situation and how you moved through it in terms of the components of the ELM featured in the graphic on page 192 of the text, paying particular attention to the route(s) to persuasion that you used (e.g., when the routes overlapped for you, if they did, or whether you used the same route throughout the situation).
• Consider what informed how you engaged with the person(s) who influenced you and other aspects of the situation. 
• Also, consider the ethics of the method(s) of influence, using the code of ethics you consider most appropriate to the situation.

Anyone who conducts research must engage in scientific inquiry. Scientific inquiry requires engagement with an objective process, which can lead from identification of a problem to the final stages where a researcher draws conclusions about his or her topic. Holistically, this process is known as research. Plano Clark and Creswell (2015) defined research as a method to collect and analyze information in order to increase our understanding of a topic or issue Research consists of three steps:

Posing a question

Collecting data to answer the question

Presenting an answer to the question (p. 4).

One of the central tenets of research is the identification of an appropriate research topic based on a problem identified from the current peer-reviewed literature in your field. This can be trickier than it seems. First, you do not want to select a topic that is too broad, or it will lead to irrelevant data. Second, you mu

Instructions:

In each of the following examples, identify the sampling method being used. Also state if the design is qualitative or quantitative. There will be both designs included in these problems. For example, it can be a random sample using a pre-test post test design (quantitative). 

1. A researcher is interested in political attitudes of individuals within a particular state. She will use open ended questions and talk to focus groups. The researcher uses the following procedure to obtain a sample: (a) they will divide the united states into four quadrants, then (b) select small random focus groups from each state. What type of research is being conducted and explain the sampling technique?

2. A researcher wants to determine if reading improved after giving a 4 week course using a text book she just developed. They will give a pretest before the 4 week program and then a posttest after the program. They have population of 100 third
