...University of Phoenix Material Research Plan As part of your research plan, you must first draft a research question for your research paper that will guide the rest of your writing. A research question, which is more specific and focused than a general topic, is the question that your research paper will answer. For example, if your general area of interest is social security, a possible research question might ask, “How can low-income families save more money if the United States had a reformed social security plan that includes personal retirement accounts?” As you develop a research question, remember that you need to research sources to support your topic. Do not pick a one-sided question that will limit your research. Instead, develop a research question that lends itself to further exploration and debate—a question you genuinely want to know the answer to. Try to pick a research question that is neither too broad (covering too much) or too narrow (covering too little). It should be broad enough to be discussed in a short research paper.

Research shows that burnout especially emotional fatigue and resilience were significant forecasters of academic performance. The authors also mentioned that students who were emotionally and cognitively involved in their studies seem to perform better than students who reported being emotionally more exhausted (Kotze & Kleynhans, 2013). This study will focus on whether and to what extent social supports, cognitive assessments, and coping skills affects the management of stress and academic performance of college students. In other to determine the effects of the above issues, the involvements of the students in stressful circumstances must be understood.

...Draft of Abbreviated Quantitative Research Plan John Gonzales (RSCH - 8100Y - 2) Dr. Medha Talpade April 27, 2014 Introduction Stress is any physical or natural force that if not controlled, can bring severe mental distress to an individual. Stress can be a natural part of life that allows the individual to learn and mature. If stress is left unattended, major problems will occur. If a stress is ignored, an individual will lose their ability to function. If the response to stress is deficient or if the stress itself is overwhelming, sickness or death will occur (Stress. 2014). The purpose of this study is to determine how well an individual can manage stress and to what extent coping skills control stress. Stress has become a way of life. Stress and its deleterious effects have become widespread. Coping measures are exceedingly important in managing the effects of severe stress. This study will be able to substantially supplement past studies and add additional data to the stockpile of medical knowledge. The object of this study will be to discover at what point do personal coping skills lose their effectiveness and the impact of injurious stress threaten a person’s well being (Marnocha, 2003). Purpose Statement The purpose of this quantitative study is to determine the degree to which individuals have to undergo stress before coping skills break down and the barriers to injurious stress that threatens a person’s well-being.

...Evidence of Quality in Qualitative Research Quality in qualitative research is an evolving concern as the pursuit of research as per qualitative methodology progresses. Thus to ensure that quality, trustworthiness, and credibility of my research data are of measured standard within the realm of research, a researcher needs to develop reflexive skills towards interrogating prevailing assumptions from the researcher’s perspective and critiquing self in order to eliminates personal influences and biases. However, this would be hinged on some fundamentals criteria that serves as a basis; thus, Tracy (2010) affirmed that eight key markers are associated with quality in qualitative research. These include worthy topic, rich rigor, sincerity, credibility, resonance, significant contribution, ethics, and meaningful coherence; exhibition of these attributes by a researcher would be a function of non-biases and actualization of a substantial level of reflection by researcher. Doing this would ensure that quality, trustworthiness, and credibility with regard to the research and data are actualized. Interview as a means of data collection may be occasioned by both internal and external factors that abound with the scope of the design of the research which may impact on the credibility and trustworthiness of the interview of mini-project. As per data collection during the interview stage, a researcher needs to remove all elements of distraction from the site of...

...Three Abbreviated Research Plans Introduction This paper demonstrates research methods that are used in investigations of health disparities in the United States. Research is a process of investigating concepts and theories that will contribute to a scientific body of knowledge. When presented with a problem, researchers or healthcare specialist can use a quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods approach to solutions or explore avenues that might improve health, health outcomes and health services (Bowling, 2002). As health disparities grow in the United States and research is ongoing, three abbreviated research plans are presented as probable solutions to this concern targeting communities and populations that are underserved. Comparison and Evaluation of Strengths and Limitations of Research Methods Used in These Abbreviated Plans Research is an organized investigation to explain, describe, and control an observed phenomenon that involves inductive and deductive methods. Researchers will use a quantitative research design to verify that the research method used is valid and will produce accurate scientific results (Vidgen, n.d.). The strengths involved in using the quantitative research method can test and validate theories that have been already formed about why and how phenomena occur. Quantitative research allows the researcher to measure and analyze data that is précis which may help eliminate the influence of many variables and allow more reliable cause-and-effect...

...Abbreviated Qualitative Research Plan Introduction Stress is the result of emotional, physical, social, economic, or other factors that require a change in one’s behavior, thought process, environment, or response. Robbins & Judge, (2008), defines stress as, “a dynamic condition in which one is confronted with an opportunity, constraint or demand related to what he wishes and for which the outcome is perceived to be both uncertain and important”. This definition can be broken down into three dimensions, as followed: 1) Environmental (stressors), 2) adaptive responses, and 3) individual differences Robbins et al. (2008). In essence, stress can be looked at from three different viewpoints; 1) Medical, 2) clinical, and 3) organization. Stress in the workplace has been recognized throughout the world in the workplace as a major challenge. Stress in the workplace has been noted to adversely impact on the employees’ psychological and physical health, as well as the effectiveness within organizations.

...RUNNINGHEAD: Abbreviated Qualitative Research Plan Abbreviated Qualitative Research Plan Tiana Parisa Mash Walden University RSCH-8100Y-6 Dr. David Horner February 2nd, 2014 Introduction The term “corrections” mean many different things to the average citizen. Some of these connotations have created several myths surrounding what a correctional institution is and what it does. Ideally, mentally ill offenders that are assigned to a correctional facility are supposedly “rehabilitated” through such an assignment. However, as a state or sheriff office representatives- we as a community of professional are not at liberty to mistreat other human beings- morally and ethically. Conversely, prison, jail, and correctional environment are different. This is a subculture within a subculture- with its own rules, regulation, and policies for both employee’s and inmates a like. (Mash, 2013, Para. 2) International Association for Correctional Psychology and Forensic (IACFP) standards discussed in chapter 12 of Bartol and Bartol (2012) holds an institutional psychologist responsible for their actions even though the client population are in secure custody, and in most events in segregation. As the authors elaborate on page (pp. 411-413)… “Both jails and prisons… can be violent, noisy… demeaning places that promote isolation, helplessness and subservience through the use of overwhelming power, often by instilling fear”( Bartol and Bartol, 2012, p...
