1. Please fix this assignment by adding a 5
th
article and completing the rest of the assignment if that is ok
with you. The cost will be $25 if you choose to complete this.
Thanks! Enclosed are the notes from the last assignment that
was submitted.
Nice job on your first assignment! I really like the topic of
your proposal. However your question and hypothesis are not
written in a way that can be tested through a quantitative
research study. What about something like this:
Which driving distraction is most frequently present
during the time of an auto accident?
And then your hypothesis needs to be a very specific,
directional, and testable answer to the question (your educated
guess). Also it will most often mirror the question in the way it
is written.
Cell phone use is the most frequent driving
distraction present during the time of an auto accident.
In your annotated bibliography it looks like you found some
really good articles. However you only have 4 articles rather
than the required 5. Also it looks like all of your articles came
out of a book, rather than from peer-reviewed journals which
was a requirement for this paper. In the future when you are

2. asked to use peer-reviewed articles make sure that they come
from peer-reviewed journals.
Assignment 2: Final Project: Sampling
Based on the feedback you received on your submission from
last week, submit a revised draft of your paper with this
additional information:
Five additional references that could be used for your research
paper and include a 1-2 sentence description for each of the five
additional references, explaining how they fit with the research
topic and the research question proposed. Make sure that these
references come from scholarly sources using Argosy's library
resources.
A very detailed
outline
of what you would like to cover in the intro/lit review of your
paper. Write it as an outline and think about what you want each
paragraph or section to cover. Paste your references into each
section where the information from that article applies to the
topic. Below is an example of the outline although the
references have not been pasted in yet:
Introduction or Statement of the Problem (e.g. Predictors of
Depression in Men)
Research question (E.g. What factors predict depression in men?
For example, age, marital status, family history, stressors).
Why is it important/implications (E.g. xx% of men are
depressed; less likely to seek treatment; if we can identify who
is at risk, may be able to direct them to treatment sooner)
Revised hypothesis based on feedback from the instructor
Review of the Literature (the following is an example for above
topic):
Brief description of depression, symptoms, and any unique
symptoms for men (Cite articles from which you will obtain this
information).

3. How widespread is it? Stats on depression in general but also
stats on depression in men (Cite articles from which you will
obtain this information).
List factors that put men at risk for depression (Cite articles).
Difficulty communicating distress or sadness (Cite articles).
Job/work pressures (Cite articles).
Demographic characteristics (Cite articles).
Relationship between age and depression (Cite articles).
Relationship between marital status and depression (Cite
articles).
A 1-2 page description of the sample you would like to use for
your study, that provides the answer to the following questions:
What sampling technique would you use?
Does the sample generalize to the population? Explain why or
why not.
What inclusion criteria would be used? What exclusion criteria
would be used, if any?
What ethical issues might be encountered when collecting your
information from this sample?
Be sure to also submit all your ten references (the five from last
week and the five new ones you added) in an APA-style
reference page. Be sure to also include an APA-style title page
with your submission. Your paper should be at least 2-3 pages
long. Make sure you write in a clear, concise, and organized
manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate
representation and attribution of sources; display accurate
spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
