Choose a research topic of interest within the field of psychology.

Week 3 Research Proposal
Choose a research topic of interest within the field of psychology.
Write a research proposal following the structure commonly used in research papers, including an introduction, literature review, research questions or hypotheses, methodology, and expected results. The formatting should follow current APA guidelines.
Provide a rationale for your research topic based on the principles discussed in the textbook.
Be sure to incorporate appropriate research methods, such as experimental design, data collection, and statistical analysis, as discussed in the textbook.
You may also use the APA guide as a source.
Please remember, this is a proposal, not a full research study, so only a summation of the required information is required.
Week 5 Experimental Design
Identify a psychological research question or hypothesis that you want to investigate.
Develop a detailed experimental design for your study, including variables, hypotheses, and operational definitions.
Describe the method of data collection, including the participants, materials, and procedure.
Provide a statistical analysis plan for your study, including the tests you would use and the expected outcomes.
Discuss potential ethical considerations for your experiment and how you would address them.
This assignment is a graduated step to the research proposal. This assignment requires you to provide specifics for the information requested. Please follow current APA guidelines.
Week 7 Ethical Dilemma Analysis
Please review the Stanford Prison experiment and it’s ethical dilemma related to research in psychology. (e.g., informed consent, psychological, or physical harm, confidentiality, or deception in experiments).
Critically analyze the dilemma, discussing the ethical principles involved and proposing a resolution.
Please discuss different perspectives and potential consequences.
This assignment should summarize the experiment, the ethical principles and dilemma involved with the experiment and what could be done to eliminate them for future experiments.
Week 8 Annotated Bibliography Final Project
Please compile and construct an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is a list of sources (books, articles, websites, and other academic works) related to a specific research topic, like the topic you choose earlier this term, accompanied by a brief descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.
In conclusion, an annotated bibliography is a valuable tool in academic research. It goes beyond a simple list of sources, offering insights and evaluations that can guide the research process and inform readers of a source’s content, utility, and reliability. As you embark on your research journey, consider the annotated bibliography not just as an assignment, but as a roadmap, helping you navigate the vast landscape of scholarly literature.
