YENROSEDISCUSSIONQUESTIONSWEEK1.docx

YENROSE DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

1. How are empirical journal articles different from review journal articles? How are both types different from a chapter in an edited book?

2. Harlow's study of attachment in baby monkeys is an example of basic research. Brainstorm some applied research questions that this basic research study might generate. Start by identifying some of the domains to which you might apply these findings (such as education, parenting, or health care), and then give a specific (applied) research question for each domain.

3. Recall the three types of claims and the four big validities. Explain which validities are most relevant for each of the three types of claims. Researchers do not usually aim to achieve all four of the big validities at once, why not?

4. What is the difference between the conceptual variable and the operational definition of a variable? How might the conceptual variables "affection," "intelligence," and "stress" be operationalized by a researcher?

PSY-260: Topic 2 APA Tips

· Include a title page on all APA formatted assignments, with all required information. You are encouraged to use the templates available in the Student Success Center.

· Ensure that you use Times New Roman, 12, black font in all areas.

· The blue underlined format for URLS and DOIs are allowed.

· Do not bold any areas of your work, except headings (including titles and reference headings).

· Do not use CAPSLOCK anywhere.

· Exceptions include publishers who have their names in all caps.

· Do not underline areas, such as the title.

· URLS and DOIs however, may be underlined and in blue, or they may be black and not underlined.

· Center all title page information and include the date on your title page.

· List references alphabetically, rather than by type.

· Formatting for articles should follow the format provided in the GCU APA Style Guide, found in the Student Success Center, and on the GCU Library's Citing Sources guide.

· APA requires the use of the hanging indent setting specifically, you should not use manual settings.

· Fill all lines with content. You will want to break up your links or information in such a manner that it is the full first line, full second line at ½ inch indentation, etc.

· Due to Word's line break rules with URLs this may not happen—and that is allowed in APA.

· Double-space all content, removing any extra spaces between references.

· Format journal titles in title case, capitalizing all major words and lowercasing, articles, conjunctions, and prepositions with three or fewer letters.

· Journal titles are capitalized according to the published capitalization, usually every word over 4 letters. Some are in all caps, such as SAGE Open Nursing

· If a reference has areas coming up in CAPSLOCK, adjust it manually.

· Italicize journal titles.

· If a DOI is listed you will not need to include the permalink.

· Permalinks (links to library databases) are not allowed in APA 7

· Remove any blank pages after content ends, or in between pages.
