Role of Theory in Research Discussion

Role of Theory in Research Discussion

For this Discussion, you will consider the role of theory in research and the relationship between theory and philosophicaFl orientations. You will also familiarize yourself with a theory in your field so that you may become more conversant in your discipline’s theoretical foundations.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post an explanation of the role of theory in research. Next, identify a theory in your discipline and explain its basic tenets. Then, with this theory in mind, consider your answer to the following question posed by Drs. Burkholder and Burbank in last week’s reading: “What do I have to believe about the world and about human beings in order for me to accept or use this theory?” (p. 27). Finally, describe the extent to which the epistemological and ontological assumptions of your chosen theory align with the philosophical orientation that reflects your worldview.

Be sure to support your Main Issue Post and Response Post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA Style.

Psychology and MassMedia – UNIT4 DiscussionBoard- Emotions, persuasion and stereotypes

Type: Discussion Board

Unit 4: Emotions, Persuasion, and Stereotypes

Deliverable Length: 600-700

You will be attending an upcoming psychological conference on psychology and mass media. While packing for the conference, you are struck by a particular advertisement you see on television. You have seen this same product advertised in magazines, on the radio, on billboards, and on the Internet. This commercial has you thinking more about the interplay between psychology and mass media. You decide to analyze the advertising campaign and use it as an example during the conference.

Using a psychosocial perspective and media research, you will analyze a product campaign to fully demonstrate your understanding of the effects and impacts of propaganda, social influence, persuasion, and attitude changes on society. You will also examine how your own behaviors are influenced by popular media and mass communication.

Select a company that is currently promoting one of its products and has an extensive advertising campaign running at this time.

  • Discuss the emotions that the company is using in its ads.
  • How does the company use emotions to get the consumer to want to buy the product?
  • How does the company try to persuade the consumer to buy the product? Is there a specific audience (e.g., parents, men, women, age groups, race) that the company is looking to persuade?
  • Do you think that the company is using a specific stereotype when advertising its product(s)?

Joseph Campbell’s theories on mythology and the Hero’s Journey connect mythology to our everyday lived realities.

Instructions: Think of a time in your life in which you have participated in the path of the Hero’s Journey. You could have been any of the main characters—the hero or a figure supporting the hero.

Use a free online application (Canva, Piktochart, etc.) to create an infographic that includes an explanation of the following:
