Hello,
I have to do a research proposal for my doctorate counselling psychology course. I wrote a critical literature review on it which I have attached (with also markers comments). This will give a sense of what the research is about a bit more.
I want to propose a research study on looking at the experiences of adolescents with conduct disorder and their parents with attending the REGULATE group (this is a 10 week group which combines boxing techniques with Dialectical Behavioural Therapy.
However this literature review was done before lockdown. So this group is now going to be online. So this research proposal has changed to an online group (so might want to add some research around this in the lit review) and the group is now including non violent resistance techniques (NVR) for parents.
Important points:
1) Semi-structured interviews will take place online
2) Ethics will need to also go through NHS ethics committee due to staff and participants being from NHS setting
3) Reflexivity – I am passionate about boxing – I am also an amateur boxer
4) Groups involve 8 adolescents (group is going happen 3 times next year). Group is 10 week – facilitated by boxing coach and 2 specialist nurses.
5) Research Analysis used will be Thematic Analysis. Need to justify why and not IPA
I have attached some research proposal examples – this will also help to structure it. I have also attached a research study that is a bit similar to the idea!
Thank you so much for helping!!
I am sure I must have missed something or if you need more info about what to conclude as I should be conducting the research…please feel free to contact any time! Thank you sooooo much for helping me!
