  Influence of emotions on memory, attention, and decision-making

  Week 4 Assignment: Research Memory, Attention, and Decision-Making

  Activity Description

  For this task, you will write a cohesive paper addressing how emotions influence memory, attention, and decision-making. Your paper should include an overview of the research on false memory, flashbulb memories, recovered memories, selective attention, and decision-making. Please include at least 5 recent peer-reviewed articles to support your work.

  Length: 5 pages

  Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

  Last week, you examined the interdependence between emotion and cognition. This week, you continue your exploration of this concept.

  Making an appraisal or a decision can influence how emotions are experienced, but emotional states can also influence cognitive processes. For instance, are memories for emotional events accurate? If someone is an eyewitness to a crime, this is certainly an emotional event! Is the eyewitness testimony for this event accurate and should it be used to convict someone of a crime?

  As you may be aware, memory is not a unitary construct. Most researchers agree that memory can be divided into sensory memory, working memory, and long-term memory. Long-term memory can be further subdivided into implicit and explicit memory. Implicit memory and explicit memory can also be further divided (see below).

  Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Research Paper

  $35.00

  Topic: Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
  

  HFHM 378 Research Paper

  Each Student will pick an area of hospitality operations (hotels, restaurants, conference centers, private clubs, cruise ships, etc) and research what laws apply to the specific area of operations.  As an example: hotel reservations and what laws apply.  The student must not just list the laws, but must outline what laws apply and provide an analysis of the specific laws to the operations.

  Each student is to research and prepare their own paper.  No two students will be researching the same topic.  I will approve the topics for each student.  Topics must be chosen by the date outlined in the class Syllabus.  The date to submit the topic for your research paper is October 9, 2017.

  Length:

  No more than 10 pages double spaced, but no less than 7 pages. If the paper is not at least 7 full pages, a passing grade will not be received. The font size must be 12 pt.  Times New Roman or Courier New.  I need to be able to read it to grade it. Please do not use endnotes, footnotes or a reference page for your citations to your authority for your facts and legal arguments.  Such pages will not count towards the 7-10 page length requirement.

  Law:

  You may use cases and statutes referred to in the text as a starting point of your research.  A research paper that relies mostly on cases and statutes referred to in the text will not receive a passing grade.  You may use statutes and regulations from the web.  As an example, if you want to research the Americans with Disabilities Act, you may want to look at www.ada.gov  If you want to research food safety you may want to take a look at www.fda.gov or similar sites that have regulations and statutes available.  A full legal library can be found on line at the Law Library of Congress at www.loc.gov/law  You can access several cases, statutes and rules as well as articles on various legal topics by using the online University Library.  If you go to the online University Library–right land lower corner of Beachboard for our class you will note the University Library.  From there, go to “Find Articles”. From there go to”lexis Web by Lexis / Nexis”.  Under the tab you will see several tabs for federal and California statutes and cases as well as be able to research specific topics.  May I suggest that you start researching or accumulating the law applicable to your topic early on as finding the law for some of you may not be easy.

  If there is a specific area of law that you are having a difficult time finding, please see me for suggestions on where to find the applicable law.

  Citation to the Law:

  For cases, please provide the name of the parties and then the cite where the case can be found; i.e.; Thomas v Harrison, 21 US 451 (2012): Thomas and Harrison are the parties, the case can be found in book 21 of the United States Reporter at page 451 and was decided in 2012.  For statutes, just use the citation that is provided in the code.  The same for any regulations that you cite to, such as the ADA.

  I expect that for each “fact” or “argument” that you provide in your paper that you should cite to the legal authority that supports the fact or argument.  The papers that provide facts and arguments without providing the citation to the legal authority will not receive a very high grade.  I need to know where you obtained your facts and arguments.

  Grade:

  A total of 40 points are available. What I am looking for is not an exhausted research of a specific area of the law.  What I want to see is your recognizing the legal issues involved in a specific area of hospitality management and your ability to analyze the law to the operations. Further, your discussion of the law and the application of the law to your subject.  I also want your recommendations on the law as applied to hospitality operations for the suggested topic of your choice.  As an example, if your topic is room reservations and the law applied, you may discuss how to make reservations more enforceable if necessary in a court of law.

  We will discuss the research paper in more detailed during class.  This is simply an introduction to it, what is necessary and requirements.  I suggest that you do not wait to start your selection of a topic and research.  Finding the applicable law may be difficult for some of you and therefore I suggest that you start early as oppose to researching the topic at the last moment. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to see me during my office hours or before class.

  Soc 515 – Research Methods and Study Design Final Paper

  The research proposal is the capstone of this course and will serve as the ultimate demonstration of your knowledge in preparing for research and selecting a method.  The proposal should demonstrate sound sociological reasoning by connecting your research to larger societal issues and/or policy improvements.

  Guidelines:  Papers should be 10-15 typewritten pages in length, with no more than 1 inch margins on all sides.  Papers should be typed in 12 pt. Times New Roman or similar font (Garamond, Calibri, etc).  All papers should include at least 10 scholarly books and/or articles and all citations and references should be formatted according to the American Sociological Association Guidelines.  Points will be deducted for arguments and sources that are not properly cited or cited at all.

  Contents:  Papers will consist of sections that are identical to scholarly research articles.  Therefore, each paper should include an introduction, a literature review, a methodology section, a results section, a discussion section, and end with a conclusion.  Each of these sections, except the introduction, should be clearly marked with bolded or underlined headings.

  1.    Introduction – Introductions should begin with you identifying your topic of interest and presenting your specific, updated research question.  It is important that your research questions are properly constructed and that they demonstrate the improvements suggested in research assignment #4.  DO NOT include flowcharts or any of the technical construction terms in the introduction (α or β).  Simply state your updated and correctly constructed research question.  Why study this problem sociologically?  How widespread is it?  What social forces are shaping, causing, or changing it?  Introductions that do not demonstrate the use of sociological reasoning will not receive favorable grades.  Here you are being asked to demonstrate above average knowledge and use of the sociological perspective.  Arguments should be clear and concise and should avoid abstract and/or passive language (“society knows” or “it is said” or “everybody knows”).  Finally, if your work is deductive, present hypotheses about your outcomes.  If your work is inductive, present your guiding questions and reflect on what you expect to find.

  2.    Literature Review – This section should include a thematic summary of the scholarly books and articles you found for RA #5, a discussion of limitations, as well as your remedy for the limitations.
  a.    Thematic Summary – Using the 10 scholarly books and/or articles in RA #5, provide a summary of the themes that you found in these articles.  What do previous researchers know about your dependent variable?  Which factors (or independent variables) do they say impact it?  You are to summarize, compare, and contrast the themes that appear in these findings.  Do all your sources report the same findings?  If not, how do their findings differ?  Do they report different aspects of the same concept?  Remember that the goal of this phase of the literature review is synthesis.  What does this broad body of work say about your dependent variable?  Use the literature reviews in the articles and books you found as a template.

  b.    Discussion of Limitations – After you summarize the themes of the articles/books, present at least 2 critiques of this body of research.  One critique must be substantive.  Substantive critiques call into question WHO and/or WHAT is studied.  It will be helpful to think back to Sprague’s critiques of what and how we study.  Is there something else that these researchers should have considered?  Are there other factors/variables that they did not account for?  Was the research conducted on teens when it should have looked at adults?  Was the research conducted on rural children rather than urban children?  Has this question only examined the outcomes for white women rather than women of color?  Be specific and analytical in your critique.  How do these limitations sociologically and systematically bias the findings presented in these studies?
  Your other critique should be a methodological critique.  This critique calls into question HOW their topics were studied.  Do the previous researchers conduct quantitative work when a more rich and in-depth qualitative analysis was necessary?  Why would that be necessary?  What would we specifically get from a qualitative analysis of this topic that we do not get from a quantitative analysis?  Do they issue individual surveys when a focus group design would have been a better fit for their research questions?  In what way would the information be different?  Are they studying one case when a cross-sectional design would have been more useful?  Are there certain aspects of your dependent variable that they did not account for?  Are there alternative explanations that they did not go into?  This section is essentially where you identify the “gaps in the literature”.  In this section, it is very important that you provide detailed, well-argued examples for the limitations that you identify.  Please do not just provide a list of things that you think are wrong.  Be cautious and thoughtful in how you critique because YOUR study must be able to remedy these limitations.
  NOTE:  Is very important that your discussion of limitations shows the use of sociological reasoning.  Remember that as social scientists, we are concerned     with empiricism rather than value judgments.  Therefore, your discussion of limitations is not for you to rant about what is “bad” or “wrong” about the article nor is it for you to evaluate how much the literature matches with your experience or opinion.  Rather you are evaluating how well other scientists have empirically investigated your topic.

  c.    Remedy of Limitations – Given the specific limitations that you discussed above, present a remedy for these limitations.  In other words, how does your study substantively and methodologically “make up” for the shortcomings of previous research?  Do you include the groups that you argue previous research excluded?  Why is it necessary to include these groups?  How would they sociologically and systematically differ from the groups that have already been studied?  Do you ask the questions that they didn’t ask?  Do you employ the study designs and strategies that you claim they should have?  Be very specific about how you will improve our understanding of this topic.  Explain how your study fills these gaps.

  3.    Methodology – this section is the most important section of your paper and if it is not done successfully, you will not earn a favorable grade on the proposal.  It is in this section that you demonstrate your knowledge of sampling and research design selection.  This section should not be approached haphazardly.  Your sampling strategies and specific research methods must emanate from your research question, the remedies that you identify in your literature review, as well as the ontological and epistemological orientations that you have developed over the course of the semester.  An ontological constructionist would not conduct experiments.  A positivist would not be interested in the subjectivity inherent in semi-structured interviews.  You must demonstrate thorough knowledge of all of the various levels of decision-making that go into designing a research study.

  a.    Sampling – Identify your population of interest.  Then using everything you know about sampling, describe how you will recruit participants for your study.  Is your work quantitative or qualitative?  As a result, which type of sampling will you employ, probability or non-probability?  Next identify the specific type of sampling you will use.  Simple random?  Snowball?  Multi-stage cluster?  How will you go about getting a sampling frame?  What is your target sample size?  Why that size?  How will you select the people/entities who will participate?  How will potential participants be notified of your study and indicate that they will participate?  Will you use fliers, cold calling, students in a sociology class?  Additionally, discuss the ways that your sample may be biased.  As with the literature review, please use the methodology section of scholarly books and articles as a template.

  b.    Method – Now that you have described your sampling and recruitment strategy, identify the method that you will use to collect data from your participants.  Your decision must derive from your research question and selection of quantitative or qualitative work.  Justify why this method would be better than other similar methods in obtaining the information needed to answer your research question.  So if you have selected a qualitative method, why is your selection better than other qualitative methods?  If you have selected a quantitative method, why is this selection better than other quantitative methods?  Explain how this particular method will go about improving our understanding of this topic.  For example, why are you using a focus group rather than one-on-interviews?  Why pass out a questionnaire rather than engage in structured observation?

  c.    Procedure/Materials – Describe in detail how you will go about implementing the method you identified above.  What will participants actually have to DO in your study?  Will data collection and interaction with participants be in public places or private homes?  How will you decide?  Additionally, what equipment or materials are necessary for your study?  Will you be audiorecording?  Will you be observing various elements and checking them off of a list?  Attach a correctly constructed copy of all lists, surveys, questionnaires, etc. to the proposal.

  4.  Conclusion – Complete your proposal by reminding us of your research question and its sociological importance.  Also briefly recap how your study fills in the gaps left by other researchers as well your hypothesis or expectations for the study.  Next, talk about the limitations of your study and suggest future directions for research in this area.
