Research Proposal: Relationship Between Pay And Job Performance, Jessie M. Bell
Research Proposal: Relationship Between Pay And Job Performance, Jessie M. Bell
Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal
There is no argument that employee morale has an effect on an employees production and job performance. I want to see if pay ties in with employee morale and research whether there is a relationship between pay and job performance. I find myself often saying things like "They don't pay me for this" in my workplace which leads me to believe that if people were paid more they would be willing to do more. Job satisfaction is so important because it is one of the three most important predictors of overall well- being (Judge & Watanabe, 2000). Sousa-Poza (2000) states …

Research Proposal: Effects Of Class Attendance On Overall Grades, Sarah Seay
Research Proposal: Effects Of Class Attendance On Overall Grades, Sarah Seay
Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal
One research inquiry that comes to question is whether school attendance has an effect on overall grades made by each student. This question comes to mind for numerous reasons. If students do not miss school does this mean they get better grades because they are learning more or because of their dedication and motivation and low absence levels. Is it that students who miss numerous days of school do not care about their grades or that their grades are lower because they do poorly on tests and assignments?
Research Proposal: Teacher Feedback And Student Grade Improvement, Sara Sullivan, Sara Sullivan
Research Proposal: Teacher Feedback And Student Grade Improvement, Sara Sullivan, Sara Sullivan
Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal
I am proposing a research project to discover whether there is a significant grade improvement in students receiving positive feedback from teachers on tests, assignments, or papers, as opposed to students receiving negative feedback or no feedback at all. I decided to look into this question because I have read several studies pertaining to student motivation and achievement and am interested to know how much, specifically teacher feedback, will improve student grades throughout the course of a semester. The studies I have reviewed discuss student motivation and achievement and indicate students’ perceptions of how these behaviors are likely to occur.
Research Proposal: The Effect Of Income On The Probability Of Divorce, Johanna Bisges
Research Proposal: The Effect Of Income On The Probability Of Divorce, Johanna Bisges
Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal
The research question I am proposing is whether the income of a couple has an effect on their probability of getting a divorce, especially among couples in the lower class or upper class. This is of great interest to me because lately I have heard of several divorces of upper class married couples, and I wondered if the reason that they were getting a divorce was related at all to the couples’ income. Researchers examining the economic contest of American families living in the 1990’s noticed several interesting trends (White & Rogers, 2000). White and Rogers (2000:13) found “significant positive …
Research Proposal: Does Mood Affect Learning And Memory?, Meila Fleming
Research Proposal: Does Mood Affect Learning And Memory?, Meila Fleming
Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal
Mood is the state of mind or emotion. However, does mood affect learning and memory? I stumbled upon the question one day in my eight o’clock class completing an assignment on research questions. The only thing that I remembered from class is my teacher stating that learning is affected by one’s mood. Research has been researched on this topic in the past but in different forms. One of the articles that I found was about research on the Effects on Learning, Behavior, and Mood. The other article that is similar to my study is long-term effects of emotion and cognition. …
Research Proposal: Cultural Differences In Dating, Relinda Pearson
Research Proposal: Cultural Differences In Dating, Relinda Pearson
Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal
Dating constitutes an important activity in two developmental stages: adolescence and young adulthood (Sheming & Jiping, 2000). Dating is seen as recreation or an opportunity to have fun, as a means of status grading, as an opportunity for companionship with members of the opposite sex, and also as a way of sorting and preference. Lindenwood University has a very diverse student body. Many students that attend Lindenwood University are from many different places on the globe. The student body of Lindenwood University assumes that they are one in the same, but that assumption ranges in many aspects. Dating is one …
Research Proposal: Is Corporal Punishment As Effective As Positive Reinforcement?, Aaron Deakin
Research Proposal: Is Corporal Punishment As Effective As Positive Reinforcement?, Aaron Deakin
Undergraduate Psychology Research Methods Journal
Research today has revealed various methods for behavior change and behavior change strategies. A question that leaves many researchers turning their heads is, what is the most effective and efficient way to change aggressive delinquent and violent behaviors. Is punishment as effective as positive reinforcement? This is interesting because in an image concerned society, people may be more apt to model behaviors that are rewarded positively rather than to behave appropriately from being punished. My hypothesis is that positive reinforcement will be more effective than corporal punishment. “Most family and pediatricians favor the use of corporal punishment and pediatricians agree …
