The project components operate together to make up the whole capstone experience and are not assessed separately. The complete final project will be evaluated for proficiency in the course outcomes listed below. In this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course outcomes: Advocate for and extend psychology’s role and responsibility in promoting agency and the psychological well-being of individuals, communities, and organizations Adapt to shifting demands and ill-structured problems by critically evaluating the relevance, priority, and appropriateness of various information and potential courses of action Design, conduct, and evaluate research through the lens of its potential to advance knowledge in psychology as well as the psychological well-being of individuals, communities, and organizations Integrate psychological theories, methods, and research to generate new knowledge and promote agency and the psychological well-being of individuals, communities, and organizations Incorporate empathy, reflectivity, and an appreciation for collaboration and diversity of perspectives into efforts to promote agency and the psychological well-being of individuals, communities, and organizations Protect the integrity and professional responsibility of psychology through the demonstration of ethical comportment in all aspects of the profession Your instructor will guide you through this process, keeping a running narrative of your strengths and weaknesses in relation to the course outcomes as you progress through the class. Your work is expected to meet the highest professional standards. You may also refer to the Final Project and Milestone Alignment Guide to see how the milestone critical elements relate to these course outcomes. Prompt For this capstone project, you must develop a research proposal, a presentation for a target audience, and a professional reflection. The requirements for each component of the project are described below. The final project is meant for you to propose a hypothetical study. You are not and should not be conducting human-subject research for this project. It is not necessary for this assignment. All human-subject research requires written approval from the SNHU COCE Institutional Review Board to protect the welfare and ensure ethical treatment of the subjects. Capstone Component 1: Research Proposal Develop a well-organized research concept paper that lays the foundation for a solid plan to implement research on a topic you choose. Choose a relevant problem that aligns with your focus within the field of psychology and with how you plan to position yourself professionally. In your research proposal, you may choose to address either a theoretical or applied research problem. For a theoretical research proposal, you must identify a gap in our understanding of a psychological phenomenon. Then describe how you propose to provide an explanation of psychological phenomena and variables through research. For an applied research proposal, you must identify a real-world problem that directly affects the psychological well-being of individuals, communities, or organizations. Then propose an intervention to address the problem and how you will evaluate its use to solve the problem. The following sections should be included in your research proposal: Introduction/Problem. Describe the research problem, research questions, and target audience for the proposed study as outlined below. Describe the problem (theoretical or applied), the purpose of the research, and the significance of the research. If your research topic is theoretical and related to a gap in knowledge, clarify what is known and where the conflict or gap in knowledge exists. If you choose an applied problem, identify the issue to be addressed. Include an accurate and detailed overview of the issue. Include all information you think is necessary to establish a comprehensive analysis and foundation for understanding your chosen research topic. Also, include a theoretical framework or the theory that is guiding your proposal. Develop well-formed research questions or a relevant intervention. Explain the significance of your topic and research or intervention within the field of psychology. Describe the purpose of the proposed research and how it fits the research problem. Identify assumptions and potential limitations associated with the identified problem or gap in knowledge or applied problem. Discuss your target audience, such as academics, mental health professionals, organizations, or others. Your target audience may be: A broad audience for research oriented toward contributing to theory or A specific organization or community for research focused on addressing applied problems and interventions Your target audience will depend on your area of study. If you are on a general track in this degree program, your research concept paper might center on researching a general issue in the area of psychology. If you have a concentration in child and developmental psychology, your proposed research must focus on a specific psychological need or issue surrounding children, adolescents, and/or teens. If you have a concentration in industrial and organizational psychology, your proposed research must focus on factors contributing to the advancement of an organization’s performance through application of psychology. Discuss why your research would be relevant for this audience. Include how your research will help address understanding of a phenomenon or Include how your research will help an organization address a critical problem. Literature Review. Analyze and synthesize previous scholarly peer-reviewed findings on the theory and research related to your research question into a review of literature relevant to your research proposal as outlined below. Organize the literature review so it provides the following: Background on your proposed research and how it fits into the field of psychology and gaps in research Review the contribution of existing research and theory to your research question. A logical argument for your proposed research Synthesize findings from multiple sources to communicate the message you want to convey. Research Design. Provide a detailed plan to collect and analyze data including methodology, design, data-management tools and sources of data as outlined below. Describe the research method or methods, design, data collection, analysis, and overall process to be used in the research study. Justify your selections using logic and specific evidence. Explain how your selections fit your research (questions). Applied research proposals involving implementation of interventions must have a program evaluation component in the research design. Discuss the reliability and validity of proposed data-collection tools and measurements. Ethical Considerations. Thoroughly explain the ethical considerations related to your research topic and proposed study. Address the ethical considerations associated with each of the following: The problem The population under study The data-collection instruments and their analysis Other aspects of the study with ethical ramifications Incorporate peer-reviewed literature and relevant codes of conduct (i.e., the American Psychological Association). Conclusion. Summarize your study and explain why your proposed research is significant. Highlight the practical implications of your potential findings for your target audience(s). Analyze the potential contribution of your research to the field of psychology. What to Submit Your research proposal should be submitted as a 15- to 20-page Word document with double spacing, 12-point font, and one inch margins. It should include a title page, a table of contents, references, and (if applicable) appendices in American Psychological Association (APA) style. In the “real world,” there are usually no page-length requirements, so the given page range is a suggestion, and you should use your professional judgment regarding the length of your paper. You may include illustrations, photographs, graphs, charts, and other non-textual materials as needed to support your research concept. If you include non-text materials in your paper, format them in APA style.
