This has 3 Different discussion questions associated with it:Discussion 1: Issues and Controversies in Survey ResearchundefinedIf whether to ask open-ended or closed-ended questions was the only decision you had to make, developing a survey research study would be easy. Although this may have been a major debate at one time, more complex controversies regarding survey research have developed. From properly phrasing questions to adopting the demeanor of an interviewer, you must consider many variables that could negatively affect your research results. Obstacles to accurately accepting or rejecting your hypothesis lurk in the planning, development, and execution of your survey research process.One way to ensure the precision of your survey is to test it with a sample from your target demographic. You also may incorporate a peer review in order to accurately test both the perception of the respondent and the perception of the researcher in your survey. It will help you determine whether participants on both sides of the survey agree when interpreting the survey questions, which can be a critical piece of the process. Traditionally, peer review involves two to three peers and colleagues, but you may wish to include one reviewer who is not a research methodologist. This person will read your work at face value and may catch issues that you overlooked.Based on your Research Proposal experience, as well as on the larger context of the course material related to a research proposal in general, review the issues and controversies in survey research you explored in Week 1 (including all of the readings). Then consider any specific issues and controversies that you encountered when developing your Survey Research Proposal for the Final Project.With these thoughts in mind:Part 1Post a description of specific issues and controversies in survey research that you encountered when developing your Survey Research Proposal. Explain how you accounted for and addressed these issues when designing your proposal.Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.Discussion 2: Overcoming Issues in Survey ResearchundefinedSurvey research methods are not just for those researchers who prefer not to get their hands dirty; rather, these methods are hands-on and socially based, and they delve into the individual and collective thoughts, feelings, and philosophies of a society on a given subject. These methods also allow researchers to decipher what a given population is comprised of and what their thought patterns may be according to many characteristics, including time, culture, and geographic location. Survey research can be a powerful tool in determining if a problem exists and how widespread is its' impact. For your dissertation, survey research can provide the basis for why your hypothesis is important.To prepare for this Discussion, imagine yourself well into the dissertation process of your doctoral program. A fellow doctoral student comes to you for advice on the benefits and challenges of incorporating survey research into his or her dissertation. Drawing on the broader context of this course, think of the "big survey research methods" picture. Consider how you would advise this fellow doctoral student on the potential benefits and challenges that may be involved in implementing survey research.With these thoughts in mind:Part 2Post an explanation of two difficulties that this student may encounter (generally) when implementing the survey research and how he or she might overcome these difficulties. Be specific, and provide examples.Discussion 3: Social ChangeundefinedConsider every survey you have ever completed. Whether you surveyed on the street, over the telephone, by mail, or through the Internet, your opinions have contributed to a collective body of knowledge and brought a greater understanding to the way you, among a given population, live your life. It is information such as this that determines what products are developed for sale, what political decisions are made, and even what changes are implemented within your city or district and around the nation. Survey research in the field of psychology is no different—it is rife with potential for social change.Keeping in mind the Research Proposal you completed this week, consider the social change implications of answering your research questions. Then reflect on how survey research may assist you with future contributions you could make as a scholar-practitioner in your field.With these thoughts in mind:PART 3Post a description of at least two social change implications related to your Final Project Research Proposal. Then explain how you could apply the information presented in this course to possible future contributions as a scholar-practitioner in your field. Be specific, and provide examples.
