Correlation between pay and performance in major league sports
Correlation between pay and performance in major league sports
Formulate a theory about the correlation between a measurable dependent variable (the effect)
and measurable independent variables (the causes).The topic area you need to consider is pay
and performance in Major League Sports; either football or baseball. Be sure to have at least two
independent variables for proposed research paper. The topic proposal should include the
following four items which serve as the foundation for the final research paper after instructor
feedback is given.
1) Purpose Statement
In one paragraph, state the correlation and identify the primary independent variables.
State the correlation as in the following:
“The dependent variable _______ is determined by independent variables ________,
_________, ________, and ________.”
Identify and defend the “primary” independent variable, or the variable believed to have the
strongest impact on the dependent variable:
“The most important independent variable in this relationship is ________ because _________.”
2) Definition of Variables
For each variable, write a single definition paragraph talking about the variable. Paragraphs
should be in this order: dependent variable, primary independent variable, and three independent
variables.
In addition to defining the independent variables, defend why each determines the dependent
variable.
For the primary independent variable, at least two research sources that discuss the variable
also must be cited. These sources need not be technical documents but should contain evidence
to justify the relationship between the primary independent variable and the dependent variable.
List these sources in the Works Cited (reference) page.
**Note: Citations from encyclopedias, Wikipedia, blogs, abstracts, or non-governmental websites are not acceptable research sources.
3) Data Description
For each of the variables, at least 30 observations of cross-sectional or time-series data must be
obtained. Thus for the final research paper, a data matrix that is at least 30 rows by numbers of
variables must be presented.
In one paragraph, identify the data sources and describe the data (e.g., which government
agencies supply the data, which methods are used to compile them, when they were collected,
etc.).
4) Works Cited Page
The final page of the proposal should be a Works Cited page listing the two research sources for
the primary independent variable and the data sources, with a separate citation for each table of
data, including specific table numbers for each of the sources.
Also needs an outline and bibliography.
Psychology and Multicultural Issues Paper
You will still be asked To read chapter 1 from Section III of the textbook which will allow you to
focus on one of four ethnic groups, in this case: African Americans.
you must”
• List the references that you relied on to research the group.
• You will select an issue or problem affecting this chosen group, apply appropriate concepts or
theories from multicultural psychology that are relevant to the issue or problem, and design a
solution that can help to alleviate or improve the issue or problem you have described.
Evidence-Based Practice Change Process
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is: To apply a change process using the ACE Star Model of Knowledge Transformation and a systematic review after identifying a clinical topic of concern and related nursing practice issue. The information from the ‘Illustration’ part of our lessons in Weeks 1-6 will mentor you through this process. Your change process is to be set up as a pilot project.
Course Outcomes
This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes:
CO2: Proposes leadership and collaboration strategies for use with consumers and other
healthcare providers in managing care and/or delegating responsibilities for health promotion,
illness prevention, health restoration and maintenance, and rehabilitative activities. (PO#2)
CO8: Selects evidence for best practices when planning professional nursing care involving
systems, processes, and devices for individuals, families, aggregates and communities. (PO#8)
Points
The assignment is worth 225 points.
Directions
Please do not use any of the Nurse Daniel information for your own topic, nursing intervention, or
change project. Nurse Daniel serves as an example only to illustrate the change process.

A short tutorial with tips for completing this assignment may be viewed below or by reading the
transcript (Links to an external site.).
EBP Change Process (form)
Download the EBP Change Process form (Links to an external site.) during Week 1.
The use of this specific form is REQUIRED and is due at the end of Week 6.
A short tutorial with tips for completing this assignment may be viewed in the short video above.
Identify a clinical topic and related nursing practice issue you think needs to be changed.
Locate a systematic review on your topic from the CCN Library databases. Be sure this involves
nursing actions.
Work through each step of the ACE Star Model as outlined on the assignment form (Star Points
1-5: Discovery, Summary, Translation, Implementation, and Evaluation). Respond to the
instructions provided on the form.
Follow the activities and thinking of Nurse Daniel in Weeks 1-6 in the ‘Illustration’ part of each
lesson. He will be working through a clinical topic and nursing practice issue to demonstrate a
change (ACE Star Model and systematic review).
Work on a portion of the process each week, as the illustration unfolds.
Please reach out to your instructor for feedback or assistance with your PICOT question as needed.
Required and Additional Background Reading in Weeks 1 and 2 under Readings is available for
more information on the ACE Star Model and the use of systematic reviews.
Please cite any references (in APA format) of your systematic review or other scholarly
document (optional) as needed. Paraphrasing information, rather than quoting, is expected. No
quotes for this assignment please!
For questions about this assignment, please contact your instructor.
Use the grading rubric as a final way to check that all components of the form have been
completed. The rubric is the tool your instructor will use to assess your content.
