The goal of this study is to analyze three articles from peer-reviewed quantitative
research that offer preliminary evidence for a social issue that is currently relevant to
social psychology. Researchers will discuss Aronson et al. (2019) social brain research
content, Carsten et al. (2010) social developments of followership, and Walden
University's (2019) research design and analysis.The first study discussed by (Aronson et
al., 2019) is a text on social psychology. This text centers on the strategy utilized in social
psychology research and assesses the investigative plans regularly utilized. Particularly,
this content audits personal research plans, such as interviews and studies, and
quantitative research designs, such as tests and observational studies. It also discusses
information collection and investigation procedures utilized to get the information
accumulated. Due to its overview nature, the free and subordinate factors utilized in this
study could not be decided. Furthermore, it does not give speculation or results of the
research.
The second ponder discussed by (Carsten et al., 2010) investigates social
developments of followership. This study utilized a subjective phenomenological
research design to understand the relationship between followership and authority. The
information for this study was accumulated through personal interviews with leaders and
devotees within the particular areas. The free and subordinate factors for this study were
administration and followership. The author speculated, "Leadership and followership
both influence and are affected by distinctive components in completely different
contexts." The results of this study backed the theory by showing that leadership and
followership are “mutually interrelated.”

The third study discussed by (Walden College, 2019) is a research plan and
examination asset. This asset centers on the diverse research plans and analysis
procedures used in quantitative investigations. Specifically, this resource surveys case
study research, personal plans, and examination, such as phenomenological
investigations. This study's free and subordinate factors are not determined due to their
overview nature. Additionally, it does not give a hypothesis or results of the research.
In conclusion, these three peer-reviewed quantitative research articles have
provided initial proof of a social issue currently pertinent to social psychology. Aronson
et al. (2019) discussed the strategy utilized in social brain research inquire about, Carsten
et al. (2010) examined the relationship between followership and administration, and
Walden College (2019) reviewed the various research plans and examination procedures
utilized in quantitative research. The results of these studies have suggestions for the
understanding and application of social psychology investigation methods.
