Get Help Now!In this last module, in addition to developing your final research proposal, you will be looking at ethics and diversity within the context of research. Ethics is defined as having three components: respect for the person, beneficence, and justice. For students at all levels, the habit of applying ethics depends on the development of moral sensibilities and critical reasoning and on an approach to problem solving, honing in on both reason and practice. For students in the behavioral sciences, therefore, ethical decision making is essential to proper conduct when conducting research.
The implication here is that for all students who practice the four principles, the consequence is clear—all life’s important problems are dealt with positively by an individual who is in harmony with the self and the community. The end result is the development of a healthy personality and a moral framework guiding research endeavors along a clear path—one not bound by self-interest.
- Describe the role of the forensic mental health professional in research.
- Articulate and apply knowledge related to ethical and cultural factors which might affect the conduct, design, and interpretation of research.
- Discuss the importance and methods of designing valid and reliable research in the behavioral sciences.
- Examine the implications for evidence-based practice for the forensic mental health professional.
- Discuss issues related to the calculation, analysis, interpretation, and reporting of statistical output.
Identify and apply appropriate ways in which research information may be disseminated.
Assignment M5_A1: A Methodical Review
Using the Argosy University online library resources, locate a research study related to forensic psychology. Present an analysis of the article by addressing the following points:
- Provide a brief overview of the problem being studied, the research design, and the participants being used for the study and the general findings of the study.
- Identify the research question, independent variable, and dependent variable.
- If you were the researcher conducting this study and found that you were not familiar with the particular research population, what steps would you take to prepare yourself to conduct the research with this population?
- Was any deception used in this study? If so, why was this deception necessary? If not, do you think that the study would have benefited from any kind of deception?
- What steps did the researcher take to protect his or her participants?
- What are the limitations of the study’s design and/or implementation?
- If you were the researcher, would you have conducted this study the same way in relation to ethics and protection of the participants? If not, what changes would you make?

| Assignment Component | Proficient | Maximum Points Possible |
| Articulate the problem to be researched, purpose of the study, the research question and hypotheses in operational terms aligned with the theoretical framework of the research. | States the research question in operational terms that make the question measurable, but neglects to articulate the primary hypothesis and the null hypothesis in operational terms or the relationship between them.
Addresses the importance of the research with limited examples of appropriate scholarly support. Mentions the theoretical but only superficially developed. |
40 |
| Presents a comprehensive literature review in support of the proposed research question. | Presents and defines the research design.
Presents limited scholarly research to support the selected research design. |
40 |
| Identify and define all relevant variables (e.g., participants).
Present procedures for obtaining informed consent. |
States most appropriate variables with the appropriate statistical research questions for each variable.
Provides a general description of informed consent. |
40 |
| Present a systematic description of the methodology to be used in the proposed research. | States the type of data being collected.
Partially defines how that data would be collected. Addresses some limitations, but neglected others. |
40 |
| Identify and discuss the assessment instruments to be administered and rationale. Present the empirical support for the assessments you have suggested. | Stated tests or assessment procedures proposed to address forensic issues are accurate based on the information provided in the vignette and empirically supported, but underdeveloped.
Accurate but incomplete description of how these tests would be used. Vague reference to cultural and forensic issues that may affect evaluation. Anticipated conclusions have some inconsistencies with the information provided in the vignette or the forensic assessments described. |
