In the process of your work, you will: 

a. read and digest a portion of the scientific literature (2 peer-reviewed journal articles),

b. analyze the articles for their content, strengths, and limitations, and

c. design a proposed study that would extend the literature on this disorder in a meaningful way.

Step with Directions

Description and Details

Step 1: Read the 2 peer-reviewed, scientific journal articles. The first article is about the etiology of the disorder, and the second article is about the treatment of this disorder. 

· Article 1: Proudman et al., 2021

· Article 2: Karrouri et al., 2021 

Step 2: Organize the structure and content of your essay into the following 5 sections. 

· It is strongly recommended that you follow this suggested structure to assist with organization and clarity of your essay. 

· Each paragraph / section should start with a strong topic sentence, followed by several sentences containing information to support your claims. 

· Each paragraph/section should include at least one citation in APA format.

1. Description of the disorder. This section should discuss the incidence and prevalence of the disorder, its symptoms, and any important sex/gender or age differences in its presentation.

2. Risk for developing the disorder. This section should identify at least 3 evidence-based risk factors (i.e., factors that have been shown to be related to the development of the disorder in research) and explain why each is relevant in the etiology of the disorder.

3. Common treatments for the disorder. This section should briefly review and explain at least two existing treatments for the disorder. At least one of the treatments reviewed MUST be psychological (non-pharmacological) in nature.

4. Identify gaps in our understanding of treatment for this disorder. Identify at least one limitation of existing treatment research for this disorder. Explain why this gap in our understanding is important to address in future research. 

5. Propose a study that would help us better understand and improve treatment for this disorder. This proposed study may directly address the gap in our understanding of the disorder’s treatment (identified in the previous section). You must include:

1. At least one research question and associated 
hypothesis. In stating your research question and 
hypothesis, clearly identify your 
independent variable(s) and your 
dependent variable(s).

2. The sample of people to be studied. In describing your sample of participants, include important demographic characteristics of participants (e.g., age, sex, gender, race/ethnicity, education level, 
sexual orientation, etc.) and how you would recruit these individuals for participation.

3. The research methods you would use to measure your variables. In explaining your research methods, include what type of research design (correlational/experimental), timeline (cross-sectional or longitudinal) and measures (surveys, observations, experimental tasks, etc.) you would use. 

4. The importance of this study. Include the potential implications of your study results for extending the scientific literature on treatment of this disorder.

Step 3: Prepare a References page that lists each of your 3 sources in APA style. Note that you will need to list your textbook as one source as well as each of your 2 peer-reviewed journal articles as the other two sources.

The References page will be the last page of your research paper. You do not need to have more than 3 references.

 

Requirements

This essay will be graded according to inclusion of specific content, but also basic use of APA style (e.g., parenthetical citations and reference page) and adequate scientific writing mechanics (e.g., strong topic sentences with accompanying evidence). 

Your Proposed Study Essay should be approximately 2 pages double-spaced in length (500 words minimum), using 12-point font and 1-inch margins.
