Quantitative Mini-Proposal Assignment Description As a counselor or therapist, you will regularly use the professional literature to inform your work. Many of the important questions that you will have as your career evolves will be answered by researchers conducting quantitative studies. The quantitative designs help generate the knowledge base that becomes the evidence behind our best practices. For this assignment, you will create a mini research proposal. As you review the media piece, think through a possible quantitative study. Your work on this assignment will demonstrate that you understand the importance of the alignment of the elements of a study and how they work together. Assignment Instructions In preparation for this assignment, you viewed the Blooming Park: Quantitative and Qualitative Research Questions media piece, which provided an example for first steps in creating a research proposal. Think about a problem in counseling practice that could be researched using a quantitative approach. Create a mini research proposal that addresses the problem that you identified. Your proposal must include these elements: Mini-literature review. Include a review of three recent empirical sources (required) and one non-empirical source (optional). Research question. This specific question should be written in a way that it could be answered through quantitative data; this is the question that will be answered by the proposed study. Research design.

Data analysis plan. Explain how you would analyze the data that you collected. Ethical and cultural concerns. Identify ethical and cultural concerns that may be present in the proposed study.
