week_3_assignment_2.docxResearch Methods Literature Review
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review the qualitative and quantitative research designs encountered so far.
For your literature review, you will select one design from each of the following categories.
Category: Designs
Non-experimental Designs: Descriptive, Archival. Observational, Correlational, Survey research
Quantitative experimental Designs: Pretest-posttest control group, Posttest-only control group
Solomon four-group
Qualitative Designs: Ethnography, Phenomenology, Grounded theory, Narrative, Participatory action research (PAR)
Mixed methods Designs: Explanatory, Exploratory, Triangulation, Parallel
Visit the Research Methods research guide in the databases for a minimum of one peer-reviewed journal article published within the last 10 years about each of the research designs you selected. The articles must not be research studies using the designs. Instead, they must be about how to conduct a study using the design. Examples of acceptable articles for this assignment are listed at the Suggested Articles tab in the Research Methods research guide.
In your paper, briefly outline the topic you selected (CHOSEN TOPIC IS DEPRESSION) for your Final Research Proposal in Week One and apply the scientific method by suggesting both a specific research question and a hypothesis for the topic. Evaluate your chosen peer-reviewed articles summarizing each and explaining how the research design described could be useful for designing original research on your topic. Compare and contrast the paradigms or worldviews inherent in the methodology associated with each research design. Apply professional standards and situate yourself as a researcher by identifying which of these approaches best fits with your worldview.
