Week 1 Discussion

Read the directions for locating a scholarly article at the course materials area...

Locate a correlation research study on any topic in life-span development. It must be a correlation study from within the last the five years, 2013-2018. Chapter 1 has some excellent examples of correlation studies.

Your article could be from a different country if that is your interest. You should select a developmental stage such as prenatal development, infancy, early childhood, middle/late childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, middle-adulthood, old, older, oldest adulthood, centenarians, super-centenarian's, death, dying, bereavement. Then scan through your text in that stage and look at some topics of interest.

Read your article and IN YOUR OWN WORDS POST:

1. Explain what the authors were investigating and explain the developmental stage that you are investigating and explain why you selected the particular stage...found in the introduction section

2. What the purpose of their study...found in the introduction section

3. What did the researchers hope to show...found in the introduction section

4. What was their hypothesis...found at the end of the introductions section

5. Who were their study participants? Where did they come from? Did they receive any benefit for participation? found in the methods section

6. What was expected of them? Did they complete interviews, surveys, in-depth/clinical interviews, standardized tests, what did they do? found in the methods section

7. Explain the outcome of the study. Found in the discussion section.

You must answer all seven questions and respond to two others posts in order to receive points for this post.

If you would like to comment on the statistical applications mentioned in the results section please do so.

DO NOT, DO NOT CUT AND PASTE THE ABSTRACT AND PLACE IT IN DISCUSSION BOARD...That would be plagerism.

PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR OWN THREAD. DO NOT POST YOUR threads to another's. You are going to REPLY to two other's threads/RESEARCH ARTICLES. What did you think of their selected correlation study?

Make sure to cite your reference so that I am able to locate your articles and read them. Example: Campbell, L., (2015), Attachment, and Psychological Abandonment in Adolescence, Journal of Clinical Psychology, vol61, 398-449
