Analyzing Potential Sociocultural Challenges in Scientific Inquiry

 

Read Baumeister, DeWall, Ciarocco, & Twenge (2005). Answer the following questions using the assigned article

What was the research question that Baumeister et al. (2005) were investigating?
How might a researcher’s values and/or social cultural background influence the research question and how it was tested?
For example, are there some cultures that experience social rejection to a greater extent?
Who was tested and how many subjects were included in the study?
Based on who was tested, does this pose any challenges for the generalizability of the findings?
Evaluate the findings from Study 1 of Baumeister et al. (2005). Are there any alternative explanations that take into account sociocultural issues that may explain the results?

You will now produce new and original work on the empirical research article from our Worksheet. Create a study that will effectively address the effects of sociocultural factors in extending western constructs inappropriately.
Re-design Study 1 with the potential sociocultural challenges in mind from the Worksheet.
Propose your revised research method using the 5 steps of the Scientific Method.
Step 1: Make an observation of the problem of social exclusion and/or self-regulation.
Step 2: Create a hypothesis.
Step 3: Predict what will happen. Include participants, measures & procedures, and validation of measures.
Step 4: This will be a hypothetical conclusion since you won’t actually be conducting the research experiment you proposed.
Step 5: In addition to sharing your results with our discussion post, what scientific journal would you want your study published in? Check out the list of social science journals to get an idea of where these results would be most appropriate.
Explain your reasoning for choosing this journal.
