Present a mini proposal for a study that ONLY involves a QUALITATIVE  research design.
Your proposal should include the following:
1. Statement of problem. Provide a clear justification with evidence  on why this study is relevant to psychology and worthy of doctoral-level  study. Support your efforts using at least five scholarly,  peer-reviewed sources published within the past 5 years to ensure  relevancy. You can use as many references from your annotated  bibliography as you feel are relevant.
2. Purpose statement (how your study will address the problem using  qualitative methodology). This statement should flow from the problem  statement.
3. Research questions (be sure to align these with the problem and purpose).
4. Find an additional two to three articles related to your topic of  interest and provide an overview of the research methodology and design.  Specifically discuss the elements below from each article and discuss  how each applies (or does not apply to your current study):

The specific QUALITATIVE design
The population and sample
Steps for data collection and protection of human      subjects, along with steps for the analysis of the data
Issues of trustworthiness within a qualitative      framework
Discussion of the inherent strengths and challenges of      your hypothetical study

Make sure to support all assertions and research choices using the  course resources as well as additional scholarly literature you have  found. Justify your steps and choices, using the course resources to  help support your points.
Length: 5-7 pages, not including title and reference pages
Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the  ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and  insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect  scholarly writing and current APA standards.
