Week 2 - Discussion 1
Analyzing Basic Applied Research
There are very
different views of what types of evidence are most credible in evaluating the
effectiveness of psychological treatment research. In this discussion you will
analyze basic applied psychological research as well as evaluate how
researchers applied a research process in the development of specific
components. To begin, read the following articles (which can be accessed
through the ProQuest database in the Ashford University Library):
·
“Evidence-Based Practice in Psychology: Implications for Research and
Research Training”
·
“Practice-Based Evidence: Back to the Future”
·
“Psychological Treatments: Putting Evidence into Practice and Practice
into Evidence”
After reading the articles listed above, select two of them. Analyze the
basic applied research within each of your two selected articles by answering
the following questions:
·
What is the main point-of-view in each article?
·
What are the primary assumptions each author makes?
·
Which author are you inclined to agree with? Support your choice
with scholarly reasoning and cite your evidence.
You are required to include one peer-reviewed source that was published
within the last five years to support your perspective. You may not use
any of the sources that were assigned for this course. For assistance
finding articles view the “Searching for Articles” and the “Peer-Reviewed
Articles” tutorials which are available under Tutorials on
the Getting Research Help tab at the top of the Ashford
University Library homepage.
Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts. Provide a
substantive response to at least two of your peers. As you respond to your
peers, consider the following:
·
What evidence did they use to support their perspectives?
·
Do you agree or disagree with their conclusions? Support your
position with evidence from the articles.
·
What alternative conclusions could be drawn from the evidence they
discussed?
