Research Study Proposal Part II

Research Study Proposal Part I and Research Study Proposal Part II are one large assignment divided into two parts. The second part of your Research Study Proposal builds upon the work you completed in Part I.

Using the same topic you selected for Part I of your proposal, (PART I TOPIC: The proposed research topic centers on investigating the impact of public awareness ad campaigns on public attitudes toward the severely mentally ill). Discuss all components denoted below. Turn each numbered item below into a required subheading in your paper.

1. Data Collection Procedures (Describe the step-by-step process you would use to collect your data) (one-page min).

2. Data Analysis (Select two types of statistics you would use to analyze gathered data; not stats formula details, but which stats you would use) (one-page min).

3. Contribution to the Field (explain the benefits to individuals, groups, and society as a whole of the study results. Example: Using the first hypothetical social psychology study from Part I, if we find that public awareness ads are associated with improved changes in attitudes toward the severely mentally ill, might we use such study results as a means of advocating for Federal funding for expanding advertising efforts; or if study results show no to little association between ads and public attitude changes, might we better serve the severely mentally ill by pursuing other means of reducing stigma? (one page min).

4. Research Limitations (half page min). Discuss limitations that you foresee in Part I and Part II of your Research Study Proposal. It may be helpful to review your Instructor's feedback for Part I of this assignment.

5. Discussion (1/2 page minimum). Discuss and reflect on your conclusions of the research process and this assignment in its entirety.
