Psychology Question

The entire assignment should be at least one (1) page in length, following appropriate APA formatting, using one inch margins and Times New Roman 12 point font ONLY. Five valid sources must be used for this assignment.

The purpose of this assignment is to help you plan out your final project. Specifically, you will be creating an outline of your final project throughout this assignment. Be sure to include the following information:

Rough Introduction: What is the general hypothesis? Why does this need to be explored? How has previous research addressed this (or failed to address this)? Define the scope of the problem/concern/issue, and make a strong case as to why your topic is necessary in the field of research. Be specific, be clear, and make it known exactly where you intend to go in the paper.

General outline for the body of the paper: Include information from your sources that “brings together” what we know so far about the topic. Be sure to speak about how these articles are helping you develop your own idea related to the topic. This section is nothing more than support for your ideas. It is recommended to have a cohesive list of ideas here, and which article(s) support that idea. Remember – DO NOT SUMMARIZE. DO NOT QUOTE. DO NOT ENDLESSLY REGURGITATE the articles. These are issues that will change the scope of the assignment into something completely different!

General conclusion: Wrap it up! Conclude your outline – this will help you plan a clear conclusion for your paper. Summarize key points, and state your hypothesis in a clear and direct fashion.

General things to remember: This is to help you create the final assignment. The final assignment is a portion of a research proposal. A research proposal is where you provide some background information and propose going forward to further test this area of research that is lacking. It cannot be written in first person, cannot include opinion/anecdotal information, and must include scientific research articles (journal articles). Other sources are not permitted.

Please write this up in DETAILED outline format. I do not want an essay in response – it must be a thoroughly detailed outline. Submitting four short sentences, for example, will result in a zero for this assignment. I expect meticulous detail.

student example :

• INTRODUCTION
  • Summary– I chosen the dads vs moms after birth and how dads are just as likely to get postpartum depression. Postpartum is a topic not commonly talked about unlike many other mental health issues because everyone looks at having a baby as a joyous time in life.
  • Thesis Statement– My thesis statement is “Fathers are just as likely if not at a higher risk to develop postpartum depression.” I will be examining how men should be screened for PPD and not left out. I will be showing how much the dads have on their plates when the baby comes and not just the mom.
• FIRST THEME
  • Sub theme– When thinking about how dads are just as or more susceptible of getting Postpartum Depression. Even though it is such a possibility man are not screened like moms are. (Article 1 and 6)
  • Sub theme- Men do not have checkups with their doctors after they become new fathers like moms do. Moms also must take surveys for the first few months after giving birth, but the dads never have to take the surveys. Mothers are constantly asked how they are doing but the fathers are just told good job. (Article 1 and 4)
• SECOND THEME
  • Sub theme– Fathers and mothers have different types of symptoms (article 2) because the mom has body issues and issues in her private area.
  • Sub theme– Symptoms can show up for the same reasons between the mother and fathers (article 3 and 5) but fathers tend to hide the symptoms better because guys are grown up not to show weaknesses.
  • second thing : Has there been an occasion when you relearned material – either because you were really interested in a topic as a child that you later took a course about, or because you needed to retake a course (maybe you took it at a community college and the credit didn’t transfer), etc? How was that second learning experience different and what does Cognitive Psychology say about why this second experience should be easier to learn and remember?
• CONCLUSION
  • This is where I talk about how much we can do ensure fathers do not go untreated and get better care like mothers. We can talk about how to take more precautions and ways to prevent fathers from suffering from postpartum depression. Some weaknesses with when trying to find information about father postpartum depression.

How was that second learning experience different and what does Cognitive Psychology say about why this second experience should be easier to learn and remember? 250-300 words

third thing to due : Critical thinking involves thinking reflectively and productively, and evaluating evidence. If a child is thinking critically, what are some strategies that can be observed?
