Clinical Mental health research Paper proposal
Research Question:
How is loneliness and perceived high social support predictive of remission from depression within 18-35 years old?
Hypothesis: It is hypothesized that high levels of perceived social support and low levels of loneliness predict remission from depression in adults aged 18-35 from blank regions to be in step with sampling.
Type of Study: Predict/Correlation Study → Regression Study Predict Variable: Loneliness and social support Criterion Variable: Depression → specifically from remission Measures: We are finalizing our measurement as we finalize the research question and hypothesis. Listed below are the different potential scales for each variable/measure/whatever it’s called Sample Method: Purposeful Sampling -take a sample from mental health clinics who are diagnosed with depression and ask them if they’d like to be involved in our study…focus on a region -Choose a region…choose if ip, op, etc. -those in remission Statistical Analysis: Correlational Regression. We might need to find a more specific form of regression analysis but can ask her later depending on how we input the variables into the statistical analysis software.
Research Design: RAW Ideas Correlational graphs Sample two different groups: those in remission from depression and those who are diagnosised with MDD, then test them with the loneliness and social support scales and then see how the two groups differ Rubrics: Scholarly Writing and Presentation APA format, correct spelling and grammar, professional terms, flows well, includes all elements (title page, headers, citations, references, appendix) Introduction/Program Information 20% Literature Review Synthesis of content, minimum of 15 references in this section alone, includes seminal and peer-reviewed journal articles, establishes clear call for research.
30% Research Design Well-developed research questions, methodology suited to research questions, problem statement, purpose statement, rationale, and demonstrates understanding of design chosen.
10% Methodology Describes sampling procedure, recruitment, expected demographics of sample, operationalizing of terms, informed consent, and data collection includes a cultural and ethical issues.
10% Instruments Accurate and thorough description of instruments and reliability and validity measures. Why these instruments were selected and which variables they will be measuring. If qualitative, describe the protocol and instrument to obtain thick descriptions.
10% Analyses Selects appropriate analyses and rationale for selecting analyses. Must explain what the analyses will “tell you.” If quantitative, clearly identify DV(s) and IV(s). If qualitative, clearly identify analytical framework.
