Research Assessment: The Psychological Effect Of Gun Control In Equality

Description

Research is "creative and systematic work undertaken to increase the stock of knowledge". It involves the collection, organization, and analysis of information to increase understanding of a topic or issue. A research project may be an expansion on past work in the field. To test the validity of instruments, procedures, or experiments, research may replicate elements of prior projects or the project as a whole. The primary purposes of basic research (as opposed to applied research) are documentation, discovery, interpretation, and the research and development (R&D) of methods and systems for the advancement of human knowledge. Approaches to research depend on epistemologies, which vary considerably both within and between humanities and sciences. There are several forms of research: scientific, humanities, artistic, economic, social, business, marketing, practitioner research, life, technological, etc. The scientific study of research practices is known as meta-research.Assessment may refer to: Health assessment, identifies needs of the patient and how those needs will be addressed Nursing assessment, gathering information about a patient's physiological, psychological, sociological, and spiritual status Psychiatric assessment, gathering information about a person in a psychiatric or mental health service Psychological assessment, examination of a person's mental health by a professional such as a psychologAssessment (journal) (ASMNT), a psychology journal Educational assessment, documenting knowledge, skills, aptitudes, and beliefs Environmental impact assessment, assessment of environmental consequences of a plan Library assessment, to learn about the needs of patrons Risk assessment, determining value of risk related to a concrete situation and a recognized threat Survey data collection, marketing assessments Tax assessment, determining amounts to be paid or assessed for tax or insurance purposes Vulnerability assessment, identifying, quantifying, and ranking vulnerabilities in a system Writing assessment, examining practices, technologies, and process of using writing to assess performance and poteExam (disambiguation) Examination (disambiguation) Types of assessmentPsychology is the science of mind and behavior. Psychology includes the study of conscious and unconscious phenomena, as well as feelings and thought. It is an academic discipline of immense scope, crossing the boundaries between the natural and social sciences. Psychologists seek an understanding of the emergent properties of brains, linking the discipline to neuroscience. As a social science, psychologists aim to understand the behavior of individuals and groups. Ψ (or psi) is a Greek letter which is commonly associated with the science of psychology. A professional practitioner or researcher involved in the discipline is called a psychologist. Some psychologists can also be classified as social, behavioral, or cognitive scientists. Some psychologists attempt to understand the role of mental functions in individual and social behavior. Others explore the physiological and biological processes that underlie cognitive functions and behaviors. Psychologists explore behavior and mental processes, including perception, cognition, attention, emotion, intelligence, subjective experiences, motivation, brain functioning, and personality. Psychologists' interests extend to interpersonal relationships, psychological resilience, family resilience, and other areas within social psychology. Psychologists also consider the unconscious mind. Research psychologists employ empirical methods to infer causal and correlational relationships between psychosocial variables. Some, but not all, clinical and counseling psychologists rely on symbolic interpretation. While psychological knowledge is often applied to the assessment and treatment of mental health problems, it is also directed towards understanding and solving problems in several spheres of human activity. By many accounts, psychology ultimately aims to benefit society. Many psychologists are involved in some kind of therapeutic role, practicing in clinical, counseling, or school settings. Other psychologists conduct scientific research on a wide range of topics related to mental processes and behavior. Typically the latter group of psychologists work in academic settings (e.g., universities, medical schools, hospitals). Another group of psychologists is employed in industrial and organizational settings. Yet others are involved in work on human development, aging, sports, health, forensics, and the media.Effect may refer to: A result or change of something List of effects Cause and effect, an idiom describing causality Control may refer to:Equality may refer to:
