Post a brief description of your area of research interest in the field of psychology.
The area of subject design to further my research in the field of psychology is aggression in young adolescents in school settings. The goal is to discover the overall cause and affect of aggressive behavior that impacts educational achievement.
State the philosophical orientation that reflects your worldview (positivist, constructivist/relativist, post-positivist).
The philosophical orientation that reflects my world view is based mostly of constructivist. The reason for this is due to the experiences build over my life span thus far. Constructive theory is based on the structure of society and how those structures impact the lives of every day normal people. In viewing the world this way it allows you to see what resources are lacking in specific areas. You also see where support is possibly broken or strong at. For instance an interest may criminal justice students look into is distributive justice which consist people’s perception of distribution of fairness (Babbie, 2008). So in knowing this based on the theory people’s values and goods are evaluated through the experience gained from distributions of sources. In my experience, everyone’s contribution to society is based on personal status and economic status. Example of constructs effect the individual’s life, for example, low income immigrants, struggle because there is more hurdles when having those labels attached to the individual.
Explain the epistemological and ontological assumptions of this philosophical orientation.
Epistemological is defined as the science of knowing and ontological is explained through everything is real (Babbie, 2008).
Examples of research approaches quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods
An example of research approach of quantitative is a numerical measurement within a study like measuring frequencies of variable. Qualitative approach consist of nonnumerical measurement and is mainly done through observations. An example of this would be causes of a certain variable (Babbie, 2008).
