You will be writing a quantitative report with an additional section considering how the research could be furthered with a qualitative research approach. You will write a 2500-word report using the report writing conventions of the APA manual 7* Edition - you will find guidance on wiling research reports on the My Assessment tab. Background There has been a lot of interest in how we can improve psychological well-being through various interventions. One idea that has been suggested is the use of gratitude journals - these encourage the person to reflect on their day and focus on the things that went well or the things they are grateful for. This aims to then improve the person's subjective well-being, which has been considered to encompass three core factors: positive emotion, negative emotion, and life satisfaction. As such, the Satisfaction with Life scale has been used previously to measure subjective well-being. Your task is lo analyse the provided data and write a quantitative research report answering the following research question: Is there a difference in subjective wellbeing in people who write gratitude journals and those who don't? Following your report you will consider how you could extend this research with a qualitative study. It's important to note that you will not actually run a study or collect data in this module as vou do not have ethical approval to do so. Resources As you will be provided data, you will not be collecting any data yourselves. The data provided has been compiled to reflect real world data. You will write about this data as though you collected it yourself. Imagine that you are the researcher and invited participants to take part in your research - what sampling method might you choose? You will include details about your sampling method and participants in your methods section of your report The quantitative dataset you will analyse will be provided to you on iLeam as an Excel file. You will need to input this data into Jamovi for your statistical analysis. You have been provided with a supporting information document detailing what this data represents. In your assessment resources you will also find two papers to help you start your literature review - you can use these papers alongside other papers within your report. You will also be provided with a paper discussing the Satisfaction with Life scale. Throughout the module you will receive guidance on writing a research report and conducting appropriate analyses. Formatting and Style of Report Communication, formatting, & referencing Your research report should be written in accordance with APA 7* edition. It should have a formal and scientific tone, and claims should be supported with citations and evidence. Appropriate sources should be used throughout, with a focus on peer-reviewed academic sources - you will be provided with a couple of sources that you can use to build upon. The Report Structure Title Your title should reflect what the experiment is investigating. More specifically. it should give an indication of what your study looked to test and discover. For example: The Effect of Gratitude Journalling on Subjective Well-Being. Introduction In this section, you should very briefly introduce the topic area and then go on to discuss existing research studies from the same topic area, while highlighting the importance of the research topic. You should then explain how your own study builds upon (generates I knowledge or replicates) the previous studies that you discussed earlier, with a s mmary of what you are trying to discover. Finally. you should state the aim of yolt study, the research question which has been provided for you and the hypothesis. The hypothesis should be formed in line with the evidence discussed in the introduction. Method In this section, you should include enough information to allow someone reading your report to conduct a full and accurate replication of your study. You should also outline the most important ethical issues that are relevant to your study. This section should be written in the past tense (as though you have already completed the study). Note: as you have been given a fabricated dataset, you will write this section as if you had collected the data you've been provided with. please use the following subsections within your methods section: Participants This section should cover how many participants you collected data from, what the range, mean and standard deviation of their ages were and what the gender distribution of the sample was. You should also outline your sampling technique (e g., opportunity sampling) and recruitment method - you can decide your own appropriate technique and method. Design Begin by stating which experimental design was used, for example (independent groups (between-subjects), repeated measures (within-subjects), or correlation. Next, state the variables, including how they were operationalised. Materials In this section you will outline the scales or tasks used within your study to create your dataset. This section is perhaps the most important for being as specific as possible as you are providing the details an independent researcher would require to replicate your study. If a questionnaire was used, you would describe what the questionnaire is measuring with a citation to the original article. You would explain how many questions it contained and how they are scored, alongside any reliability estimates. You would also include an example question from the questionnaire. If a task was used, you would describe what the task measures, what the participants would see, and how participants would respond. You would also explain how it is scored. See the "Supporting Information' document for more details on whether a task was used for your dataset. Procedure This section provides a chronological account of what the participants did at each stage of the study and outlines the ethical processes followed. In almost all studies, the procedure begins with responding to the invitation to participate, followed by reading the participant information sheet and providing informed consent. The participant would then complete the questionnaire or task, and then end with a debriefing. In this section you would also highlight any specific ethical considerations taken into account when running the study.. Results This section should include all the important information to answer your research question. It will start by outlining the descriptive statistics, and then in full sentences, the methods used to check the parametric assumptions for the statistical tests that you planned to use. It should describe if any outliers were removed from the data set, and if any assumptions were violated. It should then include a property APA formatted inferential statement for your chosen statistical test to answer your hypothesis, although your hypothesis is not repeated here. Note: You must include your Jamovi output in your appendices. Discussion This section should start with a brief review of your research question and hypothesis. You should explain the findings of your study in plain language without the use of statistics, and outline whether the findings support your hypothesis. You should also look to explain these findings in terms of other research that has been published. You should then go on to briefly discuss any limitations (weaknesses) and implications (how the research will be useful or the current study. Finally, you should offer a conclusion, with no new information, which sums up the goal of the study and its overall outcome. Qualitative Future Research In a standard research report ideas for future research would be briefly mentioned in the discussion. However, for this assessment you will use this additional section to consider how you could design a qualitative study to extend the current research. Based on the topic of your report, develop a qualitative research question that follows on from the current research and outline how you would test this question. It's important to ensure that this uses a qualitative approach and is relevant to the current research topic This section should start by explaining how a qualitative approach could provide insights and expand on gratitude journalling and well-being beyond the current quantitative research. You should outline your research question and the methodology you would use (for example, focus groups, interviews, observations, etc), justifying the use of this particular method. This section should also contain information about example questions that you would ask participants. You should then outline and justify the qualitative analysis method that you would use. It should end by explaining any additional ethical considerations that may need to be taken into account. For this section you should use the future tense (i.e., , "The research would use.) as you are writing about something that has not yet happened.
