Hi amber111!!

I absolutely love your work! LOVE it! Thank you. :-)

Would you mind making one document out of the two you have already completed? Some things will need to be omitted -- but explanations (which you've already written) and a section on contrasting the two -- FOCUS on continuing versus not continuing the relationship. The work of my paper will favor the postmodernist view, of course. : ) I can't use the first person "I" now ... apparently we have to use "the author" instead of "I". I don't know why ...

***If you can find anything on Horowitz and Bartholomew (1991ish) - please include them near the end of the paper and mention their work as an extension of postmodern theory (especially Bowlby and Ainsworth). I am going to use their "Relationship Questionnaire (RQ)" for my study. I need to somehow rope them into the mix.

Again, THANK YOU so very much! Your work is amazing!

Chris

PS - Please use the references you already have! I'll upload some information I have, too.

Research and write a literature review on a Applying Leadership Theory to Leadership Practice. The research paper will be a comprehensive thematic review of the scholarly literature related to this topic. The leadership theories to focus on are: Path-Goal Theory; Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) Theory; and Psychodynamic Approach Theory

What is a Literature Review?

A literature review discusses published information in a particular subject area, and sometimes information in a particular subject area within a certain time period. It has an organizational pattern and combines both summary and synthesis. The summary is a recap of the important information of the source; the synthesis is a re-organization, or a reshuffling, of that information. It might give a new interpretation of old material or combine new with old interpretations. Or it might trace the intellectual progression of the field, including major debates. And depending on the situation, the literature review may evaluate the sources and advise the reader on what is the most pertinent or relevant.

How is a literature review different from an academic research paper?

While the main focus of an academic research paper is to support your own argument, the focus of a literature review is to summarize and synthesize the arguments and ideas of others. The academic research paper also covers a range of sources, but it is usually a select number of sources, because the emphasis is on the argument. Likewise, a literature review can also have an "argument," but it is not as important as covering a number of sources. In short, an academic research paper and a literature review contain some of the same elements. In fact, many academic research papers will contain a literature review section. But it is the aspect of the study (the argument or the sources) that is emphasized that determines what type of document it is.

What is the format for literature reviews?

Just like most academic papers, literature reviews also must contain at least three basic elements: an introduction or background information section; the body of the review containing the discussion of sources; and, finally, a conclusion and/or recommendations section to end the paper.
Introduction: Gives a quick idea of the topic of the literature review, such as the central theme or organizational pattern.
Body: Contains your discussion of sources and is organized thematically (see below for more information on each).
Conclusions/Recommendations: Discuss what you have drawn from reviewing literature so far. Where might the discussion proceed?

What is a thematic literature review?

A thematic review would have subtopics based upon factors that relate to the theme or issue.
Sometimes, though, you might need to add additional sections that are necessary for your study, but do not fit in the organizational strategy of the body. What other sections you include in the body is up to you. Put in only what is necessary. Here are a few other sections you might want to consider:
Current Situation: Information necessary to understand the topic or focus of the literature review.
History: The chronological progression of the field, the literature, or an idea that is necessary to understand the literature review, if the body of the literature review is not already a chronology.
Methods and/or Standards: The criteria you used to select the sources in your literature review or the way in which you present your information. For instance, you might explain that your review includes only peer-reviewed articles and journals.
Questions for Further Research: What questions about the field has the review sparked? How will you further your research as a result of the review?

Important Points to Consider

The paper is to be written in strict conformance to APA standards, and contain at least 10??"12 pages of content (excluding the title page, abstract, and references) utilizing at least 15 scholarly references.

Three levels of APA headings should be used throughout the paper, as this is a graduate-level research paper.

For the purpose of this academic paper, please adhere to the follow rules when quoting or using a source:
Do not directly quote more than 120 words from any one source.
If the source is 2,000 words or less, do not directly quote more than 50 words from any one source.
Do not use the same source more than a total of 3 times within the whole document for quoting or paraphrasing.
Quotes must contain the section (if provided) and paragraph or page numbers of the quote and this information must be placed in the reference.
In all instances, be sure to use the APA guidelines for citations and references.

The paper must not be a series of quotations.

Additionally:

Please write 10 pages that will make up the annotated bibliography. The annotation for each reference includes all of the following: Who is the author and how are they qualified? Reflection on the source and how it fits in the topic chosen to research. A comment on whether the source helpful; Too broad or too narrow? Explain how this research will fit into this Literature Review. Follow these guidelines:

Includes cover page, abstract and annotated bibliography all in APA format
The minimum number of references (10) and an annotated bibliography for each is included.
Scholarly sources (from peer-reviewed journals) are used.
Minimal to non-existent grammatical and APA errors. Assignments are written in third person and in a formal writing style.

Overview: Theoretical Framework Paper The purpose of this paper is for you to individually to create a theoretical framework for your clinical ER practice. You will begin with the concept of addiction in teenagers of prescription medications. You will then search the literature and identify a theory that is AN EXACT MATCH TO THE CONCEPT of interest to provide the basis for a theoretical framework for your own practice. If you are unsure what the theoretical framework is, please review the slides that explain what this type of paper is!
For example, if PAIN is your concept, your theory must be a PAIN theory!! A theoretical framework elaborates specifically on your concept. Therefore, comfort theory is NOT an appropriate theory for PAIN!!
The literature review for this section will include both an original/published source of the theory (of your concept) as well as examples from the literature of how others have utilized this theory (clinical/administrative/education).
This paper will also include other concepts that are relevant to your future practice. Examples may include: ethical values (beneficence, autonomy, justice, veracity) or other concepts that build relationships in the theoretical framework. These other concepts may be selected from philosophies or theories relevant to nursing (caring, health promotion, expertise etc.). A scholarly source must be identified for each concept used in the theoretical framework paper (not a dictionary!). You will then explain the concepts and describe relationships among them in both a narrative form and summarized in a schematic model representation (Figure). This is to be your OWN work and not a model that you find in the literature. All relevant concepts described in your paper need to be presented in the schematic drawing that illustrates the relationships between them.
Components of the Paper Include the following sections; use the section titles as headings with the exception of the introduction.
Title Page: Use APA 6th edition for the title page.
Introduction: Give an overview of your paper. ? Briefly describe the paper including the theory you are using. ? Which practice area are you applying this theory?

? Give an overview of your paper.
Literature Review: Find a theory that directly relates to your concept in your future area of practice. This may be from nursing or another discipline. Be sure that this is a published THEORY and not a model. Review the literature on this theory with specific emphasis on authors of manuscripts/books that describe and have researched and/or theorized on your concept. Review the most pertinent literature to your particular concept. Minimum 5 theory sources that support and add depth/breadth to the theory. These sources can be from the originator of the theory and you are not limited to the last 5 years! Summarize: From the review of literature, summarize the key findings related to your concept, focusing on the most relevant/essential to your concept. Pick the one application of theory that best fits with your concept and your future practice. Other pertinent concepts: Include other concepts (minimum 4) that are relevant to your future practice and link together with your chose theory. Two must be ethical values (beneficence, autonomy, justice, veracity) and the other two concepts build relationships in the theoretical framework for your future practice. These other concepts may be selected from philosophies or theories relevant to nursing (caring, health promotion, expertise, etc.). A scholarly source must be identified for each concept used in the theoretical framework paper (not a dictionary!). You will then explain the concepts and describe relationships among them. Describe your philosophy of nursing practice in comparison to the one you selected. Model: How are all of the concepts you identified related to each other in your theoretical framework ? ? Provide a unique personal schematic model (using APA format ) of all the concepts and the relationships among them. ? Delineate and discuss relationships between all concepts in your paper! ? Describe the meaning of the placement and shapes of the symbols and their significance of everything you use in this figure in your paper. ? Include a key with the figure showing all symbols, colors, arrows etc.
? Refer to the model in your narrative (see Figure 1) before introducing the Figure.
Conclusions: Summarize the major points in your paper. Describe how you see yourself using this theoretical framework related to research or future advanced practice (clinical/administrative/education). Be specific.

Reality

What is reality (e.g., do you believe reality is that which is scientifically discovered and verified, or do you believe that reality does not exist apart from individual humans who create it?)? How do you/people know reality? Does reality remain constant or does it change? Are there some things that exist that can never be known? If so, what are they? In working with clients, do you think it is important to focus on reality as it exists or as the client perceives it?

Human Nature

What are your beliefs of human nature and mental illness? What does it mean to be human? What is the relationship of humans to their environment, such as your family of origin or earliest caregiver(s)? What are goals, purposes, drives, and needs that all humans share?

Counseling

What are your ideas about the therapeutic process? How does counseling help people learn, grow and develop, or change? How do you conceptualize goals or desired outcomes of counseling? Who should set the goals in counseling? Should counseling primarily focus on feelings, thoughts, or actions? Should counseling also primarily focus on the clients past experiences, current concerns, or future goals? To what extent is the counseling relationship the key to therapy verse being a means to an end? How important is the clients internal satisfaction with self vs. adaptation or adjustment to society?

Hi, the assignment is below. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

You will write a 3-5 page paper on Communication Theory.

STEP 1: CHOOSING A TOPIC
This paper assignment is to help you make a real-world application of the contents of this course and to help you become much more familiar with a theory of your choice by applying one communication theory to your chosen career.

1) Situation - First you must detail a scenario where this theory might be of use. The scenario may be one that you have already experienced personally, or it may be a hypothetical one. Your scenario should involve a small group of people from diverse backgrounds and specific (detailed) context in where the situation occurs. Briefly and clearly (should not take more than one page), discuss the nature of the communication situation:
Who are the parties involved?
Where does the situation happen?
What is the nature of the situation?
Is there a problem that needs to be addressed, or is it a problem created by communication?

2) Theory and Literature Review - Select the theory you feel is most appropriate to use in the situation you have describe. Describe the theory in depth, its origins, and explore the research literature surrounding the theory. You must consult at least 4 scholarly resources.
Briefly explain the theory.
What are the origins of the theory?
What are its basic propositions?
Briefly describe some of the research associated with the theory.

3) Theory Application ??" You have described the scenario and the theory. Now, describe how the theory could be applied to your situation. In your analysis, you should also shortly address and make connections with theories that relate to intrapersonal and interpersonal communication, small group communication, intercultural communication and mass communication.

STEP 2: STRUCTURING YOUR PAPER
A few words about structuring your paper:
A good paper is one that is built around a clear structure, so you should outline the main points of your paper before you start writing. Its easier to overhaul your outline than it is to overhaul a fully-written paper, so spend some time thinking about the structure of your paper before you launch into the writing.
Your paper should have:
A clear introduction A body (in which you flesh out the situation, theory and literature review, and theory application)
A conclusion (in which you summarize your argument and findings and open the paper to
consideration of broader themes).

STEP 3: WRITING YOUR PAPER
A few words about WRITING your paper:
I require an introductory paragraph. It must introduce the topic, state the main argument of the paper, set forth the plan by which the paper unfolds, and state the papers conclusion. In brief, after having read the first paragraph, your reader should know precisely what the paper is about, its main claims, how it unfolds, and where it will end up. Write the paper in coherent paragraphs. Each paragraph should flow naturally and logically from the previous paragraph, and on to the next paragraph, following a clear train of analysis. Good writing is clear writing. Write in simple, declarative sentences. Use the active voice.
Feel free to quote from books, articles or experts, but do not waste space with very lengthy
quotations ??" briefly paraphrase these passages instead.
A few words about acknowledging and citing sources:
Every time you use somebody elses ideas or words, you must acknowledge the source of the information (unless the information is common knowledge). You may acknowledge these sources by using footnotes, endnotes, or in-text notes. Dont get hung up on details of citation style: what really matters is (1) that you cite your sources in such a way
that readers can identify your sources and check your facts, and (2) that you use the same citation style throughout the paper. (When citing Internet sources that do not have printed equivalents, identify the author, document title, Internet address, and the date that you retrieved the document.)
Append a bibliography at the end of the paper, and include all the sources in MLA style that you used in writing the paper.

STEP 4: SUBMITTING YOUR PAPER
A few words about submitting your paper:
Your paper must be typed in Word Document in double-space in a normal font (e.g., 12-point Times New Roman), number the pages, put your name and student number on the title page. You should use MLA Style. Your research paper should have a title other than Research Paper. Try to think of something catchy that interests the reader but also speaks to the themes of the paper.
Your paper should have three major sections:
1) Situation
2) Theory and Literature Review
3) Theory Application.
Use at least 4 scholarly resources (not used in class). References must also be included at the end of your paper under the heading, References.

I will provide five of the 10 references (sources) required for this research analytical assignment.

The topic is Connecting theory and meaning of disability studies in schools. The overal themes of this course have focused on issues of power and marginalization and how they have played out in contemporary education contexts. You need to cite 5 sources frou the course readings which I will supply and five from secondary sources most of which should be academic journal articles,although some books or documentries are okay.

Demonstrate an understanding of the Ecological System's Theory, including corresponding levels of environmental influences in relation to human development.

Write a 5 page paper that analyzes Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory of development. Include a description of how Bronfenbrenner's level of influence helped to shape your development. Analyze how the levels influenced your decision to enter graduate school to obtain a master's degree and how they might impact the career goals within your area of specialization. Include 5 primary sources of information, APA 6th edition, 12point. Entries should primarily be articles from recent peer-reviewed academic or professional journals within 5 yrs, may also draw information from older works written by theorists such as Piaget, Erikson, Kohlberg. Include an introduction and conclusion.


I am a 37 year old female and I have a 14 year old son. I grew up in a happy, traditional household with my mother, father and brother. I have been working with children in the field of education for 16 years. Currently,I am a Counselor for an Outreach Program. I decided to go back to graduate school to obtain a master's degree in Human Behavior with a Specialization in General Studies. I enjoy working with children; however, my true passion is helping individuals and families in need. My goal is to obtain my master's degree and to one day become the director of a youth program where I can continue to help make a difference in the lives of our youth.

Overview/Description:

The purpose of this assignment is to describe, evaluate and discuss application of a nursing grand or mid-range theory. This assignment also provides the learner an opportunity to connect theory and research to nursing phenomena. Learners will develop an 8-10 page paper (excluding the title page and references) using APA style to address the elements listed below.

Theory/Author Name and Background

Select a Grand or Mid-Range Theory that is appropriate to your practice setting.
Describe the theorist's background in detail and discuss how their experiences have impacted the theory development.
Examine crucial references for the original and/or current work of the theorist and other authors writing about the selected theory.
Identify the phenomenon of concern or problems addressed by the theory.
Theory Description

Explain whether the theory uses deductive, inductive or retroductive reasoning. Provide evidence to support your conclusion.
Describe the major concepts of the theory. How are they defined? (theoretically and/or operationally) Is the author consistent in the use of the concepts and other terms in the theory?
Interpret how the concepts are defined. Implicitly or explicitly?
Examine the relationships (propositions) among the major concepts.
Evaluation

Identify explicit and implicit assumptions (values/beliefs) underlying the theory. On what assumptions does the theory build?
Examine if the theory has a description of the four metaparadigm concepts of nursing. If so, how are they explained in the theory? If the metapardigm is not explained, what elements do you see as relevant to the theory and why?
Discuss the clarity of the theory. Did it have lucidness and consistency?
Application

Assignment 3.1: Grand Theory Written Assignment



Points: 50

Due: Day 7

Directions:
?Select a grand theorist from each of the four types of grand theories, as identified by Meleis.
?Compare and contrast, in tabular format, the following information:
?Educational background
?Philosophy of nursing
?Definition of nursing
?Goal/purpose of theory
?In narrative form, reflect on these theorists and explain which one is most congruent with your personal philosophy of nursing.

Assignment Details:
?3-5 pages
?APA format

Rubric

Please rent and watch one of the following (see end of assignment for description of
each movie):
"Miracle"
Glory Road
Invictus

Write an 8- to 10-page paper commenting on ALL the following (see important
formatting instructions below):

(1) Using examples from the movie, explain and support ALL the various aspects
of Path-Goal theory (The only thing you will need to use to learn about this theory
should be the summary (ATTACHED) --- the key parts are the four leadership behaviors
as well as the subordinate and contingency factors).
This is a leadership theory, therefore, you need to look at the leader for
examples (how can his/her actions be explained using the theory). Please note that
2-3 examples of each area are expected along with a discussion that demonstrates
your understanding of the theory. Its important that you understand the theory do
not switch leaders in your examples or from one example to another as that is
completely contrary to what the theory states is needed.

(2) Using the Expectancy Theory of Motivation, give examples from the movie that
support and/or contradict ALL three links these are designated as
Effort-Performance, Performance-Rewards, and Rewards-Personal goals. Each link
should be addressed separately and be clearly identified. Information on this theory
is found on pages 86-87 of the text. (ATTACHED)
This is a motivation theory, therefore, you need to look at the followers (those
being led) and NOT at the leader to determine if all the links are present in
order to explain their motivation this means that each individual has to actually
be shown to go through all three links for the theory to apply.

Formatting:
Each theory should be covered in approximately 4-5 pages (for a total of
8-10 pages). DO NOT try to roll both questions together as one covers leadership and
the other motivation.
1 margins (all sides) with 12 pt. font (Times Roman or Arial) and double
spaced. You must pay close attention to grammar, punctuation.
. Clarity is a MANDATORY requirement. In order to achieve this you MUST
highlight the key words that represent parts of the theory being covered in that
paragraph either by bold, underline, or italics (Note: I do not want the examples to
be highlighted or even the explanation of the key parts of each theory just the
words that relate to the parts themselves). Failure to highlight in one of these
manners will result in an automatic 1 point deduction.
This ISN'T a consultant's report --- start by doing an outline of the
theories (each in its own section of the paper), covering each 'part' and 'link' ---
this will give you the 'highlighting' that I'm talking about --- then fill in the
examples of each part or link below it with examples (remember, I am asking for at
least 2-3 of each). You can leave the initial part in outline form and just use
paragraph form for the examples.
There are faxes for this order.

Nursing Theory Analysis Paper (Online Nursing Program)

Overview/Description:

The purpose of this assignment is to describe, evaluate and discuss application of a nursing grand or mid-range theory. This assignment also provides the learner an opportunity to connect theory and research to nursing phenomena. Learners will develop an 8-10 page paper (excluding the title page and references) using APA style to address the elements listed below.

Theory/Author Name and Background

Select a Grand or Mid-Range Theory that is appropriate to your practice setting.
Describe the theorist's background in detail and discuss how their experiences have impacted the theory development.
Examine crucial references for the original and/or current work of the theorist and other authors writing about the selected theory.
Identify the phenomenon of concern or problems addressed by the theory.
Theory Description

Explain whether the theory uses deductive, inductive or retroductive reasoning. Provide evidence to support your conclusion.
Describe the major concepts of the theory. How are they defined? (theoretically and/or operationally) Is the author consistent in the use of the concepts and other terms in the theory?
Interpret how the concepts are defined. Implicitly or explicitly?
Examine the relationships (propositions) among the major concepts.
Evaluation

Identify explicit and implicit assumptions (values/beliefs) underlying the theory. On what assumptions does the theory build?
Examine if the theory has a description of the four metaparadigm concepts of nursing. If so, how are they explained in the theory? If the metapardigm is not explained, what elements do you see as relevant to the theory and why?
Discuss the clarity of the theory. Did it have lucidness and consistency?
Application

Examine how the theory would guide nursing actions.
Describe specifically how you can use this theory in your area of nursing (Practice, Education, Informatics or Administration).
APA Style/Format
