Question Description

Need help with my Psychology question – I’m studying for my class.

Surveys are among the tools that researchers use to gather information from research study participants. In this module, you will read the article Questionnaire.
Design https://www.pewresearch.org/methods/u-s-survey-res… and explore survey question construction. PSY 222 New Hampshire University Social Justice in the United States Discussion
You’ll read two example surveys. One survey focuses on social justice in the United States. The other survey focuses on potential careers. You will choose one of the surveys and analyze the construction and validity of its questions and associated answer options. PSY 222 New Hampshire University Social Justice in the United States Discussion

For your initial post, review the following two surveys covering social justice and career considerations:

Survey: Social Justice in the United States

Choose one of the surveys to analyze in the discussion. Include the title of the survey you select in the title of your post.
Answer the following questions about the survey you chose. Note: Unlike for the other discussions in this course, you must start a thread or complete your initial post to read and reply to your peers’ posts. PSY 222 New Hampshire University Social Justice in the United States Discussion
Consider what you have learned in the course about creating a good survey. What is one aspect of an item you would change to improve the survey? Try to identify an aspect that your peers have not.
On which of the four following scales of measurement is the item measured?

Categorical

Ordinal

Interval

Ratio

Why do you think this scale of measurement is the correct one?
Why would you make the changes you suggested? Using key terminology and concepts from your reading, explain your rationale for the improvements. PSY 222 New Hampshire University Social Justice in the United States Discussion
How does appropriate survey construction relate to the programmatic theme of ethics?

Instructions

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part, and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. PSY 222 New Hampshire University Social Justice in the United States Discussion

Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in, and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12-point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages. PSY 222 New Hampshire University Social Justice in the United States Discussion

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting a hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print it out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument. PSY 222 New Hampshire University Social Justice in the United States Discussion

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS

Discussion Questions (DQ)

Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, including a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.
Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source. PSY 222 New Hampshire University Social Justice in the United States Discussion
One or two-sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.
I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.

Weekly Participation

Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.
In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.
Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).
Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week. PSY 222 New Hampshire University Social Justice in the United States Discussion

APA Format and Writing Quality

Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud, for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).
Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.
I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition. PSY 222 New Hampshire University Social Justice in the United States Discussion

Use of Direct Quotes

I discourage the overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.
As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.
It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source. PSY 222 New Hampshire University Social Justice in the United States Discussion

LopesWrite Policy

For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report, and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.
Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.
Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?
Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score. PSY 222 New Hampshire University Social Justice in the United States Discussion

Late Policy

The university’s policy on late assignments is a 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.
Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.
If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.
I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.
As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading. PSY 222 New Hampshire University Social Justice in the United States Discussion

Communication

Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:

Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.
Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours. PSY 222 New Hampshire University Social Justice in the United States Discussion
