CORRELATIONAL RESEARCH Correlational Research in Psychology LeighAnn Hancock Kaplan University PS300-Research Method I Professor Myeisha Leiva October 2, 2012 Correlational Research in Psychology Psychologists employ a number of different scientific methods to conduct research on social psychology topics. Employing these methods allows researchers to test hypotheses and theories by looking for relationships between different variables. Social psychologists use correlational research in order to identify relationships between naturally occurring variables. Conducting surveys is a popular method for researchers to use to gather data needed for a correlational study. Surveys allow researchers to predict and describe people’s opinions, attitudes and preferences by computing a correlation coefficient and determining the strength and direction of the relationship between the two naturally occurring variables.

During this paper two case studies will be recapped, target behaviors will be identified, each case will be within a subject experimental design where the participant will serve as their own experimental control and for each case there will be a provided systematic approach to clearly identify the problem (in this case an appropriate, quantifiable target behavior that is in need of change). Case 1: Emily Emily is a 6 year old girl who was referred to me by her pediatric psychologist. Her challenges began when she began 1st grade; where she first told her parents she
Abstract In this paper, Tracy Freeland will be discussed from an adolescent psychologist’s perspective. Information about Tracy was gathered through watching the film, Thirteen, and through psychological interviews with Tracy in a client based setting. Using this information, a report of Tracy’s family and friendship background, her presenting issue, and an explanation of her behavior from a biopsychosocial perspective are given. By doing this, one should have a more complete understanding of the sometimes-perplexing phase that every human being experiences in life. This period of development is known as adolescence.

There was a vast difference in the backgrounds of the individual families who agreed to allow their children to participate in this documentary. The purpose of the study was to follow the lives of fourteen individuals from different socioeconomic levels throughout life and monitor the influence of the social class upon the success of the individual in multiple facets of life. I will compare and contrast the self-concept of two of the individuals, Bruce and Susan using Erik Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development. Since the individuals were seven years old when the study began I will start at the corresponding stage of development. Meet Susan and Bruce Susan came from a middle, working class family.

In this article Prager questions how Barbie had an effect on her life as a child growing up and how she viewed Barbie as well. Also questioning how young girls today are feeling the pressure to measure them to the iconic Barbie doll. The intended pathos for this piece has a wide range including young girls and middle aged women. Prager’s claim in this article is to educate and provide some relief for girls that have experienced the effects that the media and dolls like Barbie have had on them. The rhetorical stance that Prager conveys is that Barbie is one of the many reason that young adolescent girls today have body image issues.
Moreover, it is in line with the adopted interpretivist epistemology, where we bring into focus the significance of understanding the meanings that correspondents ascribe to different phenomena. Consequently, we evaluated and selected one of the two types of qualitative interviews, distinguished by Alan, based on the approach that the researcher takes. The first type is unstructured interview, where questioning is kept in informal style and usually closely corresponds in character to a conversation (Bryman,
