¶ … Youth Leadership Training and Development
The following is a research plan for the proposed youth leadership training and development study. It is based on the checklist provided in the text Research Design: Qualitative, Quantitative, and Mixed Methods Approaches (Creswell, 2009).
To determine if early leadership training has a significant influence on the building of self-esteem, motivation, moral values and self-confidence in youth.
To quantify how a lack of skills in solving problems, self-esteem and communication skills impacts short- and long-term leadership skills in adolescents.
To measure and correlate the extent to which life experiences and the capacity for emotional empathy contribute to and support the attainment of transformational leadership.
To design the methodology to ensure all respondents under age have parental consent, outcomes of the study and data collection do not reveal respondent's identities and the broader environment of the research study (including analysis and presentation results) do not violate the identity and anonymity of the respondents.
Methodology
The methodology is designed to capture the greatest breadth of respondent feedback across a broad base of early leadership training programs for youth. The most effective methodologies rely on stratified random samples to ensure data orthogonally while also attaining representative coverage of the statistical population of interest (Creswell, 2009).
Survey Population: Youth leaders in volunteer organizations, stratified by area codes and school district distributions throughout the metro area.
Sample Size: Based on the total population of students in the metro area and using a Confidence Interval of 95%, the total sample size is set at 532.
Survey Sampling Technique: Using a random number generation application to choose every nth respondent to ensure representativeness of the entire survey population.
Research Instrument: A survey will be used for data collection, relying on a series of Likert scales for capturing attitudinal assessments and assessments of the dimensions of self-esteem, motivation, moral values and self-confidence.
Research Phases
Phase I -- Initial questionnaire evaluation and testing. Selection of respondents and use of random sampling to define overall sampling frame. Complete parent information sessions and gain approvals and support.
Phase II -- Complete stratified random sample of each audience. Complete second wave of questionnaires. Evaluate and benchmark response rates.
Phase III -- Complete survey analysis and present results, then define strategic improvements to programs.

Theory Compare and contrast at least three views on what constitutes a theory. Distinguish the related concepts of theories, such as hypothesis, paradigm, model and concept.

leadership training and experiences for youth. The research methodology was carefully drafted and developed as the best means for exploring this concept. A mixed methods, non-experimental, correlational study will be conducted to examine how problem solving, communication, and the building of self-esteem, contributes to early leadership training and development for youth in rural and inner city communities. While few research methodologies are perfect, this one has a tremendous amount
