Consider, for example, what criteria are used in psychology to evaluate the alignment of research components. And in what way will future research contribute to the identity of a new scholar-practitioner who is dedicated to positive social change? Can you provide an explanation of the criteria that could be used to evaluate alignment between data collection methods and other research components, such as the problem, purpose, research questions, and design? Then explain to which newly acquired research knowledge and skills can support the role of an agent of positive social change. Please specify and provide an example(s), if possible.
