Topic: Research

Over the course of the semester we discussed various research topics. We are to choose 6 topics and write 1 Paragraph (5-10 sentences) for each reflection (totaling 6 paragraphs.) Paragraphs must show substantial evidence that we understood the material. Below, please find the 6 topics in which we need to write a paragraph for. 

Topic 1: What are the threats to Measuremnet Validity (i.e. respondent’s mood, language difficulty.) and give a short example. 

Topic 2: How reliable is Hare’s PCL-R checklist in determining aggression in males and females. 

Topic 3: Briefly discuss the traditional conception of validity and how it divides into three separate and substitutable types—namely, content, criterion, and construct validities.

Topic 4: Briefly Discuss the cons of a longitudinal study (attrition and resources) in a non experimental design. 

Topic 5: Why do you think the Likert Method used more in counseling psychology researches? 

Topic 6: Discuss sampling hard to reach and hidden populations and give an example. (Example to be used: Alfred Kinsey’s Study)
