Research Methods
This Assignment measures your ability to outline research methods. There are many research designs that are used in developmental research. As discussed in textbookInfants Children and Adolescents longitudinal cross-sectional and sequential designs are used to assess developmental change and to explore developmental topics and changes over time.
This Assignment is composed of two parts:
Part 1:
Think about what you would like to learn about developmental change; then create your own research question that would require using either a longitudinal cross-sectional or sequential design. In one page write out your question and explain which design would be most appropriate to answer the question and why.
Part 2:
Go to the Kaplan online Library and find one longitudinal cross-sectional or sequential research article that studies development in infants children or adolescents. Be sure that the article that you find is an empirical peer-reviewed article with an abstract purpose methods results and a conclusion. If you are unsure about your article choice or have difficulty finding an appropriate article please contact your instructor for help.
Write a two-page summary of the research. Be sure to address the following questions in your summary:
Clearly identify your chosen article by citing it within the text of the summary and referencing it on a reference page
