PSY 827 Week 1 Discussion Question

Question 1 Based on previous classes in this specialty area, identify whether you expect to focus on a dissertation or on an application project class. Describe the broad topic area on which you want to focus.Cite two empirical articles you will be using to support your research. Question 2 Locate two more empirical journal articles you will be using to support your research. Use the information presented in the lecture to synthesize the findings in the four articles (DQ 1 and DQ 2) and discuss at least two possible gaps in the existing research that you could use as a part of your dissertation topic or application project. Be sure to justify your findings. Reminder: A gap does not mean that the topic has not been studied; a gap is a defined need from current literature.
