explore in more depth a research area in resilience that is of particular interest to you and to explain how the research and ideas contribute to our understanding of human resilience.
Select a specific at-risk group to examine more closely. You may want to consider a risk factor with which you have some personal interest or connection. For instance, if you work with homeless youth, you may be interested in researching the protective factors that build resilience into these youth. If you have a strong interest in youth resilience in poor or violent neighbourhoods, you may want to examine the protective factors that increase resilience in these youth. You must choose only one particular at-risk group; however, you may examine any combination of individual, family, and community protective factors that build resilience in that at-risk population.
Once you have selected a topic of interest, search TRU Library to find two or three research articles using the following criteria:
The articles must all focus on the same at-risk group.
The resources you select should be fairly recent (i.e., published no earlier than 2000).
The articles you select must be from a peer-reviewed journal.
At least one of your articles must be an actual research study (i.e., one in which actual raw data is collected and not a study review or meta-analysis).
Proposal for the Final Project
The purpose of this is to make sure you are on the right track with your topic and the articles you have selected.
In a brief paragraph, provide information on your research topic and the major issues you intend to examine:
Who is your at-risk group?
What adverse outcomes do they experience?
Include an annotated bibliography that lists the two or three articles you intend to use. Remember that at least one of these studies must be empirical research. Include the full citation (using APA format), including title, author(s), and source for each of your choices. In the annotations, very briefly (in about 100–125 words) describe the main ideas presented in the article:
Who were the participants?
What kind of study was this (e.g., meta-analysis, cross-sectional, literature review, or longitudinal study)?
What adverse outcomes were they exploring?
What was their study methodology?
What resilience factors did they discuss?
Sample Topics
These sample topics identify potential areas for in-depth exploration of human resilience on an at-risk population not discussed in the module readings, along with a practical application:
What individual, family, and community factors are related to building resilience in elderly individuals with a terminal illness who are at risk for social isolation? Based upon your review, what future research ought to be done?
What individual, family, and community factors are related to building resilience in adults who experience a serious injury (e.g., from a workplace accident)? Based upon your review, what future research ought to be done?
Examine individual, family, and community factors that build resilience in youth who are at risk for failing class because English is their second language. Suggest how government policy may be changed to promote academic resilience in this community.
Please feel free to choose any of the suggested topics. Once I got the approval for the proposal will order the final project.
