STIMULUS QUESTIONS

Overview

Each student will write answers to the Stimulus Questions located at the end of Chapters 2 (Research Training- Joys and Challenges) and Chapter 6 (Choosing Research Designs- Balancing Ideals and Realities). These questions are designed to assist you in conceptualizing your proposal, to evaluate your own personal perspectives of research, and to assist in understanding common methodologies used in counseling-related research.

Instructions

· You may submit your stimulus questions in outline format (with the question number and answer below); however, you must have an APA title page in current edition format.

· Include references (in current APA format) at the end of your document, if you have them. You may use references other than the required textbook (not required), but only references that are from peer-reviewed, professional journals.

· This assignment should not be lengthy (some answers may only have one sentence), but rather have concise answers to each question in hopes to catalyze important areas to consider for your research proposal. You may write in the first person for questions that are asking for personal reflection.
