Description
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review the qualitative and quantitative research designs encountered so far in this course.
For your literature review, you will select one design from each of the following categories.
Category | Non-experimental | Quantitative experimental | Qualitative | Mixed methods |
Designs | Descriptive | Pretest-posttest control group | Ethnography | Explanatory |
Visit the Research Methods research guide in the Ashford University Library and search the databases for a minimum of one peer-reviewed journal article published within the last 10 years about each of the research designs you selected. The articles must not be research studies using the designs. Instead, they must be about how to conduct a study using the design. Examples of acceptable articles for this assignment are listed at the Suggested Articles tab in the Research Methods research guide.
In your paper, briefly outline the topic you selected for your Final Research Proposal in Week One and apply the scientific method by suggesting both a specific research question and a hypothesis for the topic. Evaluate your chosen peer-reviewed articles summarizing each and explaining how the research design described could be useful for designing original research on your topic. Compare and contrast the paradigms or worldviews inherent in the methodology associated with each research design. Apply professional standards and situate yourself as a researcher by identifying which of these approaches best fits with your worldview.

Experimental Study on Positive Emotions for Subjective Well-being
Experimental research studies have confirmed that negative and positive emotions are
initiated by participants with a contradiction of the health-related features associated with the
physiology of an individual. There has been numerous research carried out related to negative and
positive emotions. This is because the emotions are influenced by different factors for the variable
for each psychologically. Therefore, these psychological factors attracted researchers and
psychologist to carry out an experiment to relate positive and negative emotions to some conditions
through experiments using human beings and observing the behaviors of human beings. The main
aim of this paper to categories some of the design and determine how they could help in designing
the above experiment.
Research question
The research conducted (week one) in getting the practical information regarding the
positive emotion for subjective well-being indicated that people’s happiness is influenced by either
internal or external factors that bring about emotions that are either positive or negative. How can
these factors be mitigated to make sure that people are always happy in workplaces?
Hypothesis
According to Algoe, Fredrickson, and Chow (2016), positive and negative emotions are
induced by various factors that trigger the behavior of people. For example, individuals induced
to stress and some others with no stress exposed to experiment portray different emotions. An
experiment carried about ...
