Personal Research Interest and Application(course Capstone)

Choose a topic and pose a research question about it that interests you, something you would like to find out more about. Focus on a question within your major (psychology, social work, etc). If you have a specific cognate (substance abuse treatment, military resilience, etc.), you should consider posing a question related to your specialization. As examples, think about the scenarios you have been reading throughout the SPSS assignments this term. Each of these poses a research question in a specific subfield of psychology or social work and provides an analysis to use to help answer the question. Choose one statistical analysis you have learned over the past eight weeks that could be used to study and analyze your research question. Include the name of the analysis and how it could be applied. Why would it be appropriate to use in this case? For example, are you examining a relationship between variables, a difference between groups, a prediction, or a comparison of frequencies within categories? Include enough detail to show that you understand the purpose and process of your chosen analysis; however, also keep in mind that the assignment is a discussion forum and not a detailed research proposal. Provide one or more supporting citations for the information in this section. Provide some background as to why you chose this topic. Why does this question interest you? This can relate to your specialization/cognate, another class you took, personal work experience, research interests, and so on. Please refrain from sharing very personal information in the forum. Choose one of the following Biblical themes: charity, justice, hope compassion, forgiveness, thankfulness, love (of neighbor, spouse, children, etc.), or another Biblical theme not listed here, and describe how research into your topic could relate to your chosen theme. If you use a narrative or verse(s) from the Bible, include a citation in current APA style. Include references in current APA style for any citations provided in your post.

Below is the latest Liberty Way section (2023-24, p. 4) addressing academic dishonesty and the use of Artificial Intelligence. It includes, but is not limited to: • Unauthorized collaboration on any work for the course • Contract Cheating: Any involvement in the outsourcing of coursework to a third-party • Using unauthorized aids of any kind to create coursework without permission from the instructor. Unauthorized aids include, but are not limited to: • The coursework of others • Artificial Intelligence (AI) aids • Paraphrasing software • Any other aid that compromises the originality or authenticity of coursework • Any act that compromises exam integrity and/or violates exam protocols • Stealing, buying, receiving, selling, or transmitting coursework of any kind • Sabotaging another student's academic work • Facilitating or aiding in any act of academic dishonesty Please keep in mind that written assignments automatically go through a plagiarism detection tool called Turnitin. Turnitin scans your assignment for originality and artificial intelligence. Examples of artificial intelligence aids include but are not limited to ChatGTP, Bard, Grammarly, Adobe Firefly, Canva.ie, Cramly, and other equivalent forms of AI to create content for coursework. Rather than using unauthorized AI aids, consider using Microsoft Word's fairly new Editor tool to proofread for spelling and punctuation errors
