Parenting Styles Proposal Research Topic Hello, I have to write a research paper for current ongoing class which will include following section:
Research topic proposal. (you have to currently help me with this)
Annotated bibliography ( I will make another post for this and other work)
Research paper outline
Research paper
Currently you have to work on (1) where I have to propose a topic.
I am attaching instruction and a sample paper.
A paragraph with 3-4 sources should be enough for proposal
I will attach the list of topic after we hand shake. I will also tell what topic I am thinking to write and other details later. I would like my topic to be about grief that young adults experience when they suffer the loss of a
romantic relationship. I would like to focus specifically on the disenfranchised grief that young adults
feel when others dismiss or devalue their suffering. My paper will include the reasons why this is
detrimental to their recovery and it will present approaches and techniques that may be used in grief
counseling that can help young adults grieve appropriately and recover from the loss of their
relationship.

Research Paper Assignment
The final paper (1850 to 2000 words-not including your title page or references) will be a research paper in which you are
expected to write on a problem or issue relevant to African American Issues in Psychology. Possible paper ideas vary
greatly. General ideas to think about include:
•
•
•
•
•
The development of African American psychology
The role of religion and spirituality in African American life
The influence of racism on various aspects of African American life
Academic achievement in African Americans
Mental health issues in African Americans.
Your topic should be more specific than the above general categories. I have also included a more specific list of topics to
consider but your topics should be something such as “How stereotype threat impacts the academic achievement of
African American high school students.” Remember though that you must have 3 to 4 sentences for your topic proposal.
As part of this paper, you should offer some type of solution to the problem of issue proposed if your paper addresses a
problem or issue.
How to get ideas about papers:
•
•
•
Think of the areas of African American psychology that really interest you. Enter some of these terms as
keywords in a search engine such as PsycLit and read abstracts to see what kind of research is out there. Starting
with review articles may be most helpful.
Browse various psychology journals such as the Journal of Black Psychology or Cultural Diversity and Ethnic
Minority Psychology.
Email me and we can discuss options.
*Remember, if there is no research on it in peer reviewed journals, then it is not an appropriate topic for a paper. Also,
you need to make sure there are at least 10 peer reviewed articles on the subject. You are to review a body of literature
(at least 10 peer reviewed articles), synthesize the readings, suggest holes in the body of literature after evaluating
it, and propose next steps for future researchers. Show me that you understand the problems with the research and
what should be done next.
What to do
• Include a title page and reference page.
• Start working on the paper early.
• Read journal articles and take notes on the articles before you begin to write the paper. The will help
you avoid plagiarism.
• Use APA style
• Visit the Writing Center to get help with making your paper stronger.
• Have a strong thesis statement and keep your paper focused on it.
What not to do
• Do not use websites such as Wikipedia to get information for your paper. Your sources should be more
credible.
• Do not use quotes. Your paper should be in your own words.
• Do not include pictures in your paper (including the cover page) unless approved by me.
• Do not include personal stories in your paper.
• Do not just summarize the studies you review. Briefly summarize and show that you have thought
critically about what you have found.
Good Luck!
