1 Module Two Activity Jehaida Stokes Southern New Hampshire University PSY 222: Research Methods in Psychology Dennis Racanello January 16, 2024

2 Module Two Activity Article 1: Corporate Wellness Programmes in Singapore: Effect on Stress, Satisfaction and Absenteeism Scholarly or non-scholarly? This research study is scholarly because, according to its source, it was published in The Journal of Managerial Psychology, and is a peer-reviewed publication. Empirical or non-empirical? This is an empirical research project. This is because a questionnaire was given to each participant in the study, allowing the researchers to gather their own data from six different companies. It is empirical because they used their own data (Ho, 1997). Article 2: Impact of Worksite Wellness Intervention on Cardiac Risk Factors and One-Year Health Care Costs Scholarly or non-scholarly? This research is considered scholarly studies because it was published in The American Journal of Cardiology, a peer-reviewed journal. So it is considered to be scientific. Empirical or non-empirical? This is an empirical research project. Since the author provides original research and studies to back up their assertions, I can be certain that it is empirical (Milani & Lavie, 2009). Article 3: Effects of Occupational Stress Management Intervention Programs: A Meta-Analysis Scholarly or non-scholarly? This is a scholarly study project. Being that this research study was published in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, it is considered scientific. This peer-reviewed journal article has footnotes and references. Empirical or non-empirical? The research being done here is not empirical. It is non-empirical because, despite the authors' descriptions of study based on data acquired, the data was not initially theirs (Richardson & Rothstein, 2008). Article 4: Enhancing Workplace Wellness Efforts to Reduce Obesity: A Qualitative Study of Low-Wage Workers in St Louis, Missouri, 2013–2014 Scholarly or non-scholarly?

3 This is a scholarly study project. The fact that it was published in the peer-reviewed publication Preventing Chronic Disease indicates to me that it is scholarly. The paper also has sections on the techniques and findings. Empirical or non-empirical? The research project is an empirical study. I can tell it's empirical because the researchers published their own original research findings and data from the study in the publication (Strickland et al., 2015). Article 5: Promoting Prevention Through the Affordable Care Act: Workplace Wellness Scholarly or non-scholarly? This is a scholarly study project. The fact that it was published in the peer-reviewed publication Preventing Chronic Disease indicates to me that it is scholarly. The technique, results, and footnotes sections are all included in this journal paper. Empirical or non-empirical? The research being done here is not empirical. I am aware that this research study lacks empirical support as, despite the authors' use of data from their study, the researchers did not gather this data themselves (Anderko et al., 2012). Article 6: The Risks of Using Workplace Wellness Programs to Foster a Culture of Health Scholarly or non-scholarly? This is a scholarly study project. Because this research paper was published in the scholarly journal Health Affairs, I am certain that it is scholarly. An abstract is also included in the journal. Empirical or non-empirical? The research being done here is non empirical. Since the researchers give data that was gathered by others rather than data they had personally acquired, I am aware that it is non- empirical (Madison, 2016). Article 7: Managing Employee Stress and Wellness in the New Millennium Scholarly or non-scholarly? This is a scholarly study project. The fact that this research study was published in the peer- reviewed Journal of Occupational Health Psychology indicates to me that it is scientific. Empirical or non-empirical?

4 The research being done here is non empirical. Since the author did not gather their own data, makes the study on-empirical. In order to support their arguments, the author solely presents data that has been reported by others (Richardson, 2017). Article 8: How Well Do Workplace Wellness Programs Work? Scholarly or non-scholarly? This is not a scholarly study research. The fact that it appeared in a blog rather than a peer- reviewed publication or other source lets me know that it is not academic. Empirical or non-empirical? The research being done here is non empirical. Given that the authors did not conduct the data collection themselves, I am aware that this research study is non-empirical. They solely discuss studies conducted by other individuals (Appleby, 2019). Article 9: Workplace Wellness Programs: Right or Wrong? Scholarly or non-scholarly? This is a scholarly study project. Because it was published in the Physician Leadership Journal, I am aware that it is scholarly. If you look at the journal more closely, you'll see that it specifies that the research project needs to meet a few issues before it's eligible for peer review. Furthermore, despite the lack of a peer review, it is nonetheless considered scholarly. Empirical or non-empirical? The research being done here is non empirical. Since the author did not initially gather the data, I am aware that it is non-empirical. Rather, the author summarises the findings of other researchers (Bottles, 2015). Article 10: Why Your Workplace Wellness Program Isn’t Working Scholarly or non-scholarly? This is a non scholarly research. Because this research study was published in the Gallup Business Journal, I am aware that it is not academic. After more investigation, it is kept in the "Business Source Ultimate" database, which has 2,898 peer-reviewed out of 4,296 active indexed and abstracted journals. However, this publication has no indication of peer review. Empirical or non-empirical? This is a non empirical research study. Since the researchers used other people's data for their research even if they did some of their own, I am aware that this study is not empirical. They do not appear to have conducted any personal study on the individuals. In 2014, O'Boyle and Harter.
