a) details about the ethical considerations in embarking upon a qualitative research project; 

b)  proposes a qualitative project via two well-written research questions  (RQ) and 2-3 semi-structured interview questions for each (RQ); and 

c)  identifies the target populations, as well as any ethical challenges  you might expect to encounter where completing such a project is  concerned. 

Your  summary should utilize sound critical thought, liberally refer to and  cite course materials, and be written in APA-format (to include a title  page, abstract, properly formatted in-text citations and a reference  page). Any research topic is acceptable as long as it has an application  to psychology and allows you to demonstrate your learning of  qualitative research principles taught thus far in the course.

Make  sure that you use properly APA formatted subheadings in your work  clearly demarcating your introduction, general ethical considerations in  qualitative methods, research questions and justification for those  questions, your target population, anticipated ethical challenges unique  to your study, and finally your conclusion. Remember that the crux of  this assignment is about ethics in qualitative research and not an  in-depth and detailed research proposal. Therefore, ethics should be the  overarching theme throughout your essay.

IMPORTANT:

This  is only a mock scenario and a hypothetical research proposal. You will  NOT be testing these hypotheses/research questions on human subjects in  any way.
