Example of Output You Would Use to Answer These Questions

Extracted text: Part 1 Select one of the following scenarios based on your particular field of interest in psycholoagy: Industrial/Organizational Psychology: A few months ago, the upper management at a large corporation decided they wanted to make major changes in the organization. Leadership is concerned that employees may be resistant to the change, and they want to find out if there is a change management method that would help employees sccept change more effectively and keep employee satisfaction high. Two methods they have considered are the ADKAR Framework and the Prosci Change Management Methodology. The company wants to implement s small change in two departments before they make any major organization changes and would like to test the methods. The corporation uses the Devine Company to measure employee satisfaction with an anonymous sunvey. Applied Psychology: A large medical facility is experiencing too many missed appointments in its primary and specialty care clinics. The facility has noticed that not all patients respond well to reminder calls regarding follow-up appointments. Some patients do not answer calls and do not seem to respond to voice mail requesting they call the facility. The result is that many follow-up appointments are missed. Facility management have read articles that indicate people respond very well to text messages and would like to see which method provides the least amount of missed appointments. Missed appointments are tracked in the facility dstabase on a monthly basis. General Psychology: Clinicians at a small clinic have been introduced to a new method to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in their clients for veterans. Research indicates that virtual reality (VR) is a highly effective treatment option for patients with PTSD. Currently, the clinic uses only cognitive processing therapy (CPT) with their patients suffering from PTSD. The clinicians would like to find out whether VR therapy has different results from CPT therapy. The measure used by the clinic to measure PTSD symptoms is the Combat Exposure Scale. Both therapies need to be applied for a minimum of 12 weeks to be effectiive. Write a 525- to 750-word paper that addresses the following for your chosen scenario. Clearly define the problem or issue you are addressing. Provide a brief background of any research you have found that might affect your research hypothesis. Create a research hypothesis based on the information provided in each scenario. You have been given a data set (Microsoft" Excel" document) with two sets of interval data (just the numbers, as you must decide what they represent, such as method A results or method B results). This mesns yoU are going to test one thing against another, such as which method works best (step 1 of the steps to hypothesis testing). State the null and research hypotheses. Explain whether these hypotheses require a one-tailed test or two-tailed test, and explain your rationale. Describe the sample you will use. Sample stze will be 30 for esch group, which are provided in your data set Explain what type of sampling you selected, Copyright C2017 by University of Phoenix. All rights reserved. of 4 1. a.
