Humanities Homework Help

I need help with a Psychology question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.

Unit 2.1 DB: Research Article

Please research an area of professional and/or academic interest and provide a current quantitative or qualitative research article (i.e., within the last 7-10 years) to address the 5 basic components of a literature review as outlined in Pyrczak. Please be sure to share the link to the academic article in your posting. Please be sure your response includes: 1) an introduction to the problem area, 2) establishes the importance for the research, 3) provides an overview of the relevant literature, 4) discusses how the current study will advance knowledge in this area, and 5) describe the researcher’s specific research questions, purposes, and hypotheses.   

Unit 2.2 DB: Analyzing Literature

Using the same research article for the 2.1 discussion board question, please analyze the literature using the 8 questions posed by Pyrczak in Chapter 5. Please be sure to share the link to the academic article again in your posting. Please be detailed in your discussion (i.e., do not list your answers), and highlight how this information would be beneficial to your current (future) line of work in the counseling and human services field.

Unit 2.3 DB: Terminology

Using the methodology section from the same research article used for DB 2.1 & 2.2, please define the following terminology: population, sample size, and generalizability of the sample. Once you have done so, please explain the importance of being able to distinguish between these terms when critiquing research. Provide an example of extrapolating generalizability (or lack of) from your article to a similar environment within the counseling and human services field.
