RES820CWK1DQ1.docxFor each DQ elaborate within 260-300 words. Use in text citations accordingly. Use scholarly reference(s) along with the one(s) attached as well. Use and cite references using APA 7th Style Guide accordingly. Doctoral level class.
DQ 1) Consider the research article by Walter and Stouck (2020) provided in this topic. The article has all the major sections of empirical research (abstract, introduction, literature review, methods, discussion, implications, and recommendations). Without addressing the article's content specifically, how would you characterize the purpose of the literature review section? What roles does it serve? What is the section attempting to achieve as a part of the research write up? How does it influence the other sections of the empirical research article?
DQ 2) Refer to the requirements for the Topic 8 Dissertation Development assignment and develop a search strategy for completing this assignment. As you search for articles to complete your Topic 8 Dissertation Development assignment, it is worth considering how and where you conduct your searches. Beyond using keyword searches and “mining” the reference list for additional publications, you can find journals that publish in your specific field. For example, in the area of psychology, the American Psychological Association (APA) has divisions that are devoted to different areas of psychology and many of those divisions publish journals with peer-reviewed empirical research articles. These journals are often highly rated and serve as a conduit to literature specific to your field. Go to the APA website and find the division(s) that most closely match your emphasis area (and topic) and review what journals are available. What did you find? How does this type of search allow you to identify relevant literature? How does this add to your understanding of the expansiveness of your field of study and the literature available to determine the need for a study? Explain.
