research foundation week 7

• Review the lead-in for the Discussion and this week’s Learning Resources. Pay particular attention to the levels of measurement (categorical or metric) associated with variables in different types of statistical tests.
• Review your quantitative scenario developed to date.
• Using the Statistical Analysis Decision Table, in this week’s Learning Resources, determine which statistical test you would use given the level of measurement (categorical or metric) of each variable.
• Alignment of scenario elements is important. See the Examples of Aligned and Misaligned Scenarios document, which can be downloaded from the Week 7 Learning Resources area of the classroom.
• Discussion posts are pass/fail but have minimum criteria to pass. See the Discussion Rubric to ensure you understand the pass/fail criteria.

This week is only about the quantitative scenario. Repost, or build on or refine as needed, your quantitative scenario using the following headings and according to the italicized instructions given for each element:

Program of Study: Identify your specific program of study and, if applicable, your concentration area.

Social Problem: Briefly describe the social problem or phenomenon of interest. Typically, this can be done in 3 or fewer sentences.

Quantitative Research Problem: Complete the following sentence: The scholarly community does not know…

Quantitative Research Purpose: Typically, this is a 1-sentence statement addressed by completing the following sentence: The purpose of this quantitative study is…

Quantitative Research Question: Typically, this is a 1-sentence question unless you have more than one research question.

Theory or Conceptual Framework: Identify a specific psychological or sociological theory or specific aspects of a conceptual framework that guides the scenario. Briefly describe how the specific theory or conceptual framework guides your research question and will aid in interpretation of results.

Quantitative Research Design: Identify a specific quantitative research design. Do not use broad terms, such as survey design, cohort design, longitudinal design, causal-comparative design, cross-sectional design, and so on. Briefly describe how the selected design fits your scenario.

Quantitative Sampling Strategy: Be specific.

Quantitative Data Collection Method: Be specific.

Variables: Briefly describe each of your variables to include their range of measured values, level of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio), and identification as either an independent or dependent variable.

Statistical Analysis: Describe and defend a specific statistical procedure you would use to answer the research question.

Note: Use proper APA format. If helpful, support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

Sample on how to do the paper.Please do it just like the sample but change the area of study which is below

This is my previous assignment where you will find the area of study

Jill Michel DP Wk4Jill, this really needs work. It is not a description of a qualitative study. Please see comments below. I am also attaching an example of a qualitative study so you have an example of one.

Jill, we are looking for a simple, feasible, realistic, clearly described study that will enable you to practice working with the research process.This will strengthen a skill set that will be of value to you when developing your dissertation.Please see the examples provided by your classmates, most of whom are on the right track. Please re-read the example provided by the Course Director in the PDF, Examples of Aligned and Misaligned Scenarios. Please read the attached example of a qualitative study.

Social Problem: The social problem is based on domestic and gender-based violence in the united states of America. It is also a global pandemic that affects a lot of women in their lifetime. According to statistics, 40% of women experienced intimate violence and most of the women have also been sexually assaulted by their partners. Addressing this issue requires programs that aim to educate and reduce domestic and gender violence

Qualitative Research Problem: The scholarly community does not know the extent to which domestic and gender violence occurs in the community and how big a problem it is in most of the workplaces. This is a global problem but the extent to which it affects women differs from country to country. Legislation has been used in many countries to help prevent and stop this issue but it still prevails. Studies that examine “the extent” of something require quantitative data.

Qualitative research purpose: The purpose of this qualitative study is to formulate new strategies that can bring domestic and gender violence to an end. This study also aims to find the differences between the countries that have managed to tackle this issue with the ones that have failed in the quest to end this menace using legislation. The US has not yet managed to find a workable solution like many other countries in Europe and this study seeks to find what is the US doing different and what changes need to be made to end this violence. Qualitative studies don’t “formulate new strategies.”

Qualitative research question: What is the difference between the strategies used in some countries to combat domestic gender violence with the strategies used in the countries that have not yet found a workable solution for this issue? It isn’t clear what this means.

An example of a qualitative research question would be “How do women in a shelter for domestic violence describe the factors they believe led them to be in an abusive relationship?”

Theory or Conceptual Framework: I will use the sociology perspective of functionalism to determine the relationship in the functionality of a society that enables domestic and gender violence to thrive. This framework will help to analyze different countries and the cultures they have adopted that enable or stump the progress of gender-based violence by intimate partners. My research will include interviews and in-depth readings of case studies to assess this issue. Government articles will come in handy in this research to help assess how this issue is managed in different countries.

Qualitative Research Design: Case Study will help in this research for the reason. that it focuses on a system that is bounded, a case. A case consists of many aspects of life that can provide multiple information that can be useful in this study. I will interview people and review documents that will offer more insight into the scope of this subject. I will also utilize Phenomenology which will enable more understanding of this issue and its effect on society. To get all the information to gauge this study I will need to;

• Review government documents that will have all the data collected on the effects of domestic and gender violence in their respective countries
• Interview government representatives who deal with these issues in their respective countries.
• Create a questionnaire to collect information from different volunteers online since gong to individual countries will not be necessary for this era of globalization enables by technology.

It isn’t clear what you want to study.Additionally, you have proposed two different methodologies, case study and phenomenology.

Qualitative Sampling Strategy: this research will need help from international entities and so I will write to respective offices seeking assistance. Government documents have been digitalized and so accessing them online will be possible. I will create online questionnaires and post them on multiple social media to get the sample of data that I will need to assess this situation for my research. I will need at least two interviews for every country that replies to my request and about 20 filled questionnaires from every country that I seek to sample from. The sample size I will need for this research is not big which is common in qualitative interviews.

Jill, we are looking for a simple, feasible, realistic, clearly described study that will enable you to practice working with the research process.This will strengthen a skill set that will be of value to you when developing your dissertation.

Qualitative Data Collection Method: I intend to use the internet mostly because the data I need for this study will come from different countries and it is not possible for me to travel to all those countries to gather the information I need. I may need to used video call services like Skype or Google Hangout which will enable me to conduct in-depth interviews with the respective audience that have a deeper understanding of this issue. The interviews will have to be about 45 minutes long with open-ended questions that help understand the views of the participants and the experiences they’ve had with domestic and gender violence in their respective countries.
