Description
To complete your work for this week, identify at least three family therapy journals, and then request what are called “content alerts.” Content alerts are essentially emails from a journal’s publisher that include a list of the articles published in the current issue of that journal. Having these alerts will help you to stay up-to-date on clinically relevant research. For this course, you will need to focus on empirically-based articles.
As you learned in Week 1, empirically-based articles are those that report the results of a study and are reporting on that original research. Look for articles that have participants, methods, results/outcomes, and discussions about the results. To request these alerts, go to the publisher’s website for a particular journal. On the journal’s website, you will see the journal’s information, including the editor and the various issues published to date. You will also see a place that reads, “get new content alerts” or “sign-up for email alerts.” Many of the publishers will ask that you create an account with them to request the alert. Simply follow the instructions to do this and then use that account to request the email alerts.
Important: Please note that you should not be required to pay for any email alert. If you see an article that you are interested in reading within the email alert, search for that article using the NCU library. You can use the library to gain access to the full content of these journals.
Once you have registered for at least three content alerts, submit a list of the journals you requested alerts from. Include a link to the journal’s homepage for each listed.
Length: 1 page
References: 3 journal names and links
The completed assignment should address all of the assignment requirements, exhibit evidence of concept knowledge, and demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the content presented in the course. The writing should integrate scholarly resources, reflect academic expectations and current APA standards, and adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.

Ethical Evaluation of a Research Study
Article citation: Shepperd, J., & McNulty, J. (2002). The affective
consequences of expected and unexpected outcomes. Psychological Science,
13, 85-88. doi: 10.1111/1467-9280.00416
Name:
Date:
1. Who are the participants in STUDY 3 of this research article?
2. Are the participants of this study considered to be part of a vulnerable
population? Provide support for your response.
3. What compensation/incentives did the researchers offer for participation
in the study? Was this appropriate compensation for participation or could
this be considered excessively coercive?
4. How was the purpose of the study presented to the participants?
5. Was the experimenter’s presentation of the study purpose accurate?
(Hint: Were the researchers being wholly honest in their presentation of
the study purpose)?
6. Were the participants given sufficient information about the study
purpose and procedure to give informed consent? Explain why you think
this is or is not the case.
7. Why was the design of this study important for the “believability” of the
study results and conclusions?
8. Prior to starting a study, the research is proposed and needs to include
both benefits and risks for participants. What benefits might the
researchers have listed in their proposal for this research? What risks
should they have listed in their proposal?
9. In your opinion, does the assessment of risk and benefits mentioned in
question 8 balance in favor of the benefits? Explain.
10.
What things did the researchers do to minimize the risks?
11. Was the use of the above methods justified by the benefits of the
study?
12. Would your conclusions about the ethics of this study be different if
the participants were clients at a mental health clinic, and rather than a
fictitious medical condition, the study focused on a test for a fictitious
mental health concern? Please explain why your conclusions would or
would not be different.
