BSCOM 324 Week 1 Getting Started in Communication Research

Write a research question within an area of communication research in which you are interested in answering, i.e., relational conflict, media messages, organizational communication, etc.

Complete the following based on your research question:

  • Write a one-tailed hypothesis that relates two variables that you have an interest in exploring. You should use different variables.  Please see your textbook for additional support.

  • Write a two-tailed hypothesis that relates two variables. Be sure to use different variables. See the explanation and examples in the online classroom for help.

Submit your assignment to the Assignment Files tab.

 

BSCOM 324 Week 1 Ethical Considerations in Communication Research

Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper highlighting the ethical considerations necessary in communication research. Use one of the hypotheses (either the one-tailed or two-tailed) you developed this week and design a hypothetical study to test it. Be sure to address each of the following ethical implications that may occur as you design your study.

  • Will participation be confidential or anonymous? What would you prefer if you were a participant of this study? Why?

  • How might the wording of your questions asked by your study affect your research?

  • What deception might be required by your study, and on what basis might you justify this deception?

  • What are the potential risks for research participants for participating in your study?

Format your assignment according to appropriate course-level APA guidelines. Be sure to use proper APA format; see the provided sample APA paper in the online classroom.

  • Articulate the strengths and weaknesses of qualitative, i.e., ethnography and observation, versus quantitative methods, i.e., surveys and experiments, for your selected research focus.

  • Provide one research question regarding communication in online education where a qualitative research design would be most effective. Specifically describe the design and why this would be best for this research question.

  • Provide one research question regarding communication in online education where a quantitative research design would be most effective. Specifically describe the design and why this would be best for this research question.

  • Define and locate advertising content to be analyzed in a content analysis.

  • Provide images or links to the “universe” of content. (Minimum: Five online advertising content per team member).

Collaborate as a team and complete a 5- to 7-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation summarizing your team’s findings on emotional appeals in advertising.

Submit your presentation with the following information:

  • Research question and hypothesis

  • Definition of the content to be analyzed

  • Sample of the universe of content (at least one advertisement from each person’s sampling)

Submit the link to your survey and your research question to the Assignment Files tab.

 

BSCOM 324 Week 3 Method Comparison

Select media content of your choosing, such as a commercial or political speech, and analyze this content using the following:
