Qualitative ValidityMany researchers, particularly those from the hard sciences like mathematics or physics, consider quantitative research, with the ability to determine “statistical significance,” as more rigorous than qualitative research. Qualitative research does not lend itself to such mathematical determination of validity, rather it is highly focused on providing descriptive and/or exploratory results. However, this does not relieve the qualitative researcher from designing studies that are rigorous and high in “trustworthiness,” often the word used to describe validity in a qualitative study. There is no agreed upon set of criteria for ensuring a quality qualitative study, but there are a number of models of quality criteria.Instructions:After reading the assigned articles by Shenton (2004) and Freeman, deMarrais, Preissle, Roulston, and St. Pierre (2007), discuss at least three things a qualitative researcher can consider to increase the validity of a study’s results.Give at least one example from one of the qualitative study articles you have found on your own topic of how a claim (reported result) is supported.How does that article report on the validity of the study’s results?Do the authors do a good job of demonstrating validity? If not, what could/should they have done differently?Post should be at least 300 words.

Carl Rogers theorized that there can be a discrepancy between a person’s self-concept and aspects of his or her experience (incongruence). Individuals who are congruent understand their self-concept and are able to perceive themselves and events in their world much as they really are, they are open to new experiences.In what way ha your self-concept contributed to areas in your life such as school, work, and social relationships? In what way has the theory of congruence and incongruence in your self-concept impacted you?Journal ExpectationsThe best journal entries will demonstrate thoughtfulness and clearly applies the relevant concepts and terminology. This is your opportunity to thoughtfully explore your understandings and applications of the course content.Type your entry directly into the journal (or copy and paste if you need).

For the final project, we will be conducting an experiment on gender and leadership.For this first component of your final paper, you will be submitting the title page,introduction, and reference page for the final paper. The following steps should be followed:1. The first step of the theory data cycle is to start with a theory.This requires understanding of the previous research that has been published on the topic. So, you will be utilizing the college’s library database to find empirical articles that can help you create an informed hypothesis. This research will have to be reviewed within the Introduction. You should find the five articles below AND FIND ONE EXTRA OF YOUR OWN (that will be unique to your paper) on the topic so 6 in total but 5 are already given.a. “Gender Bias in Leader Selection ?Evidence from a hiring Stimulation study”by Janine Bosak and Sabine Sczesnyb. “Gender Bias and Substantive Differences in Ratings of Leadership Behavior: Toward a New Narrative” by Robert B. Kaiser and Wanda T. Wallacec. “Breaking the Glass Ceiling: For One and All?” by Francesca Manzi and Madeline E. Heilmand. “Gender and Perceptions of Leadership Effectiveness: A Meta-Analysis of Contextual Moderators” in the Journal of Applied Psychologye. “Effects of Sexism and Job-Applicant Match on Leadership Candidate Evaluations” published in 2020f. Article of your choice based on the topic2. Once you find your articles, you should review them all and write a literature review which is embedded in your Introduction. This provides a theoretical basis for your study.3. Based on the literature you read, consider what the purpose of the study can be and what hypotheses you would expect to find in that proposed study. (This will act as a first draft and is likely to change once we develop the research design as a class).4. In addition to the Introduction, you should appropriately format a title page, with a unique title and other important information, and a reference page, with your six sources
