For Mr. Perfect

Assignment 2

Class, in this discussion board forum for week 2, you should review the information related to the various types of studies (descriptive, explanatory, predictive, and prescriptive). Note the differences between these 4 types of studies. Then select one of the predictive or prescriptive articles that you find in a literature search. Using this predictive or prescriptive article, determine what the independent variables (IV), dependent variables (DV), and meditating variables (MV) are in that article. How does determining the IVs, DVs, and MVs help you discern the theory tested in the research? Also mention what risk factors are identified in your article as well as what recommendations are provided. If you read the lesson materials, it will help you in identifying the IV, DV, and MV. Remember to use APA 6th ed format guidelines.

This assignment should be 2 pages long, at least 2 academic references and written in APA format.
