PSYC 510 H OMEWORK : R ESEARCH AND C ONSTRUCTS T EMPLATE Ashlei Chark 1. Properly format a Reference entry for your article in the space provided below. 2 pts content / 5 pts format Yee, A. Z. H. (2021) Examining the moderating effect of parenting style and parental guidance on children’s beliefs about food: A test of the parenting style-as-Context Model, Journal of Health Communication , 26 (8), 553-565. https://doi.org/10.1080/10810730.2021.1978593 2. What is the construct you selected? 2 pts I choose Parenting Style as my construct. 3. What was the hypothesis in the study that included your construct of interest? If quoting, use quotation marks. (Note if there is more than one hypothesis involving your construct, choose one to focus on for this assignment). 4 pts content / 1 pt format This article consists of six different hypotheses. All of which pertain to my chosen construct. I chose to focus on the third hypothesis. “The positive association between active parental guidance and (a) attitude, (b) perceived norms, and (c) perceived behavioral control toward consuming vegetables is moderated by perceived parenting style, such that their effects will be stronger among children who perceived an authoritative parenting style” (Yee, 2021). 4. Where was the hypothesis found in the introduction? Is this where it should be located based on this week’s readings? 4 pts The hypothesis was found at the end of the introduction. According to our reading this week that is where is should be found. 5. How was this hypothesis examined in the study? Provide a brief description of the research design. 4 pts Yee (2021) used self-administered survey taken by 1,113 elementary to high school age students. This data was secondary analysis from a previous study done by Yee and other researchers . 6. Is this research This is a correlational research design because it tests the
PSYC 510 design best described as descriptive, correlational, quasi- experimental, or experimental? Why? 4 pts relationship of active parental guidance and attitude, perceived norms, and perceived behavioral control (Yee, 2021). Focus on the construct you selected as it pertains to the hypothesis you focused on above to complete the remainder of this assignment. 7. How was the construct you selected operationalized in the study? If they cited a measure include the exact title and citation (e.g., Beck Depression Inventory – Beck et al., 1961). 4 pts content / 2 pts format Quantitative measures were used to operationalize the construct. Participants answered questions on a survey rating their views giving a numerical value. 8. Based on how they operationalized the construct, was it self- report, behavioral, or physiological? Provide enough information to justify this answer. 4 pts Yee used a self-reporting measure. The survey was “an in- person computerized self-administered survey” (Yee, 2021). 9. What is the scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio)? Why do you think it is that scale of measurement? 4 pts Interval scale of measurement was used in this study. Examples of the questions on the survey asked “participants how much they agree to statements describing how often their parents provided verbal explanations and conveyed opinions about why certain foods are better for them, with 1 being “Strongly Disagree” and 5 being “Strongly Agree” (Yee, 2021). This example shows how participants are able to rate their agreement with the statements. 10. What section (Introduction, Method, Results, Discussion) and subsection did you find the information about the operationalization of the construct? Is this I was able to find information about the operationalization of the construct in the method section and the measures subsection. These are the sections where the information should be found.
PSYC 510 where it should be, based on this week’s readings? 4 pts 11. Describe how you could build on this research study, using one of the four strategies described in this week’s assigned readings. 4 pts To build on the research I could conduct a similar study that examine how single or two parent households associate to the parenting style’s and the correlational to attitude, perceived norms, and perceived behavioral control.
