Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Quantitative Term Paper
Similarly, researchers should be aware of the consequences of halo, prejudice to the leniency or seriousness of fundamental trend and position or propinquity of deviation from the pace that can artificially increase reliability of measure devoid of improving reaction correctness or validity. (Williams, and Poijula, 2002).
Limitations/Strength and Weaknesses
The following conditions might have affected the results of the present study:
1. The sample will not be random,
2. all demographic information will be self reported and not verified,
3. all the subjects for the study came from 3 local Kansas mental health facilities located in South Central Kansas,
4. all data for the BDI-II is self reported,
5. data is for individuals with specific DSM-IV diagnosis,
6. data is for individuals who are currently seeking treatment for the specified DSM-IV disorders (Schiraldi, 2000)
major strength is that respondents will be selected from ? number of different places for better generalization. The use of purposive sampling is another strength that is very constructive for conditions when the researcher would like to reach ? targeted collection of the people being sampled. number of limitations of our study must be mentioned. These limitations also provide avenues for further research. First, the sample of our research will be bounded to ? particular area (Wilson, and Keane, 1996). Extra inquiry might employ cross-sectional comparability. Secondly, our research will use data obtained from veterans to ? limited extent. Additional studies in this field should use customer-based data to ? greater extent than we will to achieve ? deeper understanding of the processes that drive veteran's reactions. Thirdly, our study merely considers the moderating effects of the veteran's orientation of integration. It is plausible that veteran's orientation of integration has ? direct effect on cost savings and market-related performance. Lastly, web sites and e-mail systems are being used to speed up the process of data collection (Foa, Keane, and Friedman, 2000).
