PSYC 255 DB 4 Paper
PSYC 255 DB 4 Paper
Thread Prompt: This module/week, watch for media presentations that use some kind of research as part of the presentation. This could be television, radio, internet, a live presentation, or some other kind of presentation. This part of the assignment is designed to help you realize how often research concepts are presented in everyday life. You may use something that you noticed earlier during this course as well; it does not need to be confined to this module/week necessarily. Do not use fictional sources. PSYC 255 DB 4 Paper

- What method or methods were used to address/answer the research question?
- How appropriate and effective the methods seem to be.
- Are there legal concerns?
- Are there ethical concerns?
- Is the research report intended to be generalized? If so, can these results be appropriately generalized to a broader population?
- Are there issues related to validity or reliability, and if so, how are these issues addressed?
- Any other issues that you would like to address.
- You do not need to write about all of the examples above; this list is to give you an idea as to how to begin. You may also write about other issues as well.

Discussion Board Forum Instructions
Reviewed April 13, 2018
There will be Five Discussion Board Forums throughout the course. The purpose of Discussion Board Forums is to generate interaction among students in regard to relevant course topics. Your initial thread must be at least 250 words, and your replies (at least two) must be at least 100 words each. For each initial thread, you must support your assertions with at least one citation in current APA format. Refer to Chapters six and seven of your APA Publication Manual for help in creating properly-formatted citations and references. Acceptable sources include the course textbooks, the Bible, scholarly articles, and possibly other appropriate sources that you are able to locate through the Jerry Falwell Online Library. For your replies, quoting what another student included in his or her thread is not considered part of the word count. Post-First
This course utilizes the Post-First feature in all Discussion Board Forums. This means you will only be able to read and interact with your classmates’ threads after you have submitted your thread in response to the provided prompt.
