Determine Research Problem and Develop Background of Problem based on a Quantitative Study

For this assignment, you will review quantitative studies that exist within your area of study or your specialization to determine an applied research problem that currently exists for you to be able to expand on with your own research proposal. You will then determine the research problem your specific research proposal will address. This should include one paragraph that clearly states what the problem is, why it is a problem, and why it is important for you to conduct research on the problem.

You will then provide the background for your proposed research study. This should include a minimum of one page regarding the background of this problem, including the following:

    Two or three specific issues that make this research problem relevant
    Significant data from previous research showing a need for this research
    Concepts, themes, and perspectives from prior research that prove this is a topic worth researching
    Your argument for why you need to conduct this study.

When you review the article to determine if it is a suitable study, you want to make sure that it has all the required components of true research, including problem, purpose, research questions, background information, data analysis, and ideas for future research. Not all articles are research studies, so you want to be looking for specifics in the article. Below is a video that can help you better determine if the article you found is, in fact, a research study and can help you better understand how to read a research article.

Your paper should be 2-3 pages in length (excluding cover page and references) and formatted according to APA. Be sure to discuss and reference concepts taken from the assigned textbook reading and relevant research. You must include a minimum of three credible, academic or professional references beyond the text or other course materials. Review the grading rubric to see how you will be graded for this assignment.

Science is believed to be self-correcting. A 2010 article from Psychology Today entitled, “Why science is self-conducting”, argues that scientific misconduct is the rationale for science correction. View this article, which is found here then summarize the main points of the article you found most significant. Next in your response take a stance as to whether or not you believe that science is self-correcting. Be sure to provide support for your stance. Lastly, discuss three (3) reasons why you believe or do not believe that self-correcting science or disproven theories are good for science Justify your response

In the article, Why science is self-conducting, one interesting point is that when scientists have interesting findings, others will follow their work. As a scientists, I have heard of others acussed of misconduct and this is the worst thing for their careers. Many did not consider the long term effects of a little "fudging" of data or findings. Many unique findings get wide media attention which may be a mitigating issue. If researchers are not honest, do you think they will get caught? If you look at how science is conducted in todays high tech labs, do scientist follow given methods or attempt their own modifications? What are the pros and cons of these types of explorations?


https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/ulterior-motives/201008/why-science-is-self-correcting
(this is the article)

According to the August 10, 2010 Boston Globe, Harvard University psychologist Marc Hauser has decided to take a year-long leave of absence after evidence of scientific misconduct was found in his lab. On the basis of an investigation by Harvard University, at least one scientific paper (from the journal Cognition) has been retracted, and others may be as well. Hauser is a prominent member of the scientific community. Much of his research has looked at non-human primates and has examined complex mental abilities such as communication and reasoning.

I find cases like this both frustrating and reassuring at the same time.

The frustrating part of cases of misconduct is fairly obvious. As a scientist, all I really have is the integrity of my data. Theories are nice, of course. We create theories to help us to explain patterns of data. But, really, theories are most useful because they help use to develop new questions that we can ask that will help use to collect new data. Our understanding of all facets of the universe from the movements of the planets to the behavior of people is rooted in our ability to collect good data.

And scientists hold a special place in their hearts for people who collected and analyzed good data. Newton may have come up with the laws of motion, but he recognized the importance of previous scientists like Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler whose data was crucial in revising our beliefs about the way planets move around the sun. As Newton said, "If I have seen further, it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants."

So, it is frustrating to hear about misconduct that compromises the integrity of the data in the field.

At the same time, cases of misconduct are reassuring. Science is remarkably self-correcting. When we publish papers in scientific journals, we organize our papers in a way that reflects the ideals laid out by Francis Bacon. We give enough of the details about our methods that someone else could repeat the study we are presenting. We present details about the analysis of our data. After a paper is published, authors often make their data available to others who want to do additional analyses of the work.


If a result piques the interest of other scientists, then their first step is usually to try to repeat the experiment, perhaps with a few changes to test alternative explanations for a finding. Because scientists are always repeating each other's experiments, it is hard for a fictitious result to hang on for very long. When the studies are fairly easy to conduct (as it is for many psychology studies run with university undergraduates), it quickly becomes clear when a finding is hard to obtain again. For studies that are harder to conduct (like the studies that Marc Hauser does with primates), it may take longer for problems to surface.

Ultimately, though, the scientific method is self-correcting. The field is able to separate the good results from the bad fairly quickly. And that is reassuring.

There is probably a lesson in here for fraud in other sectors of the world like the financial community, business, and politics. There is something to be said for allowing others to have access to your data and your methods. But, we can take up that topic another time
