Analyzing Evidence-Based Practices and Controversies in Psychological Research
Dq1
There are very different views of what types of evidence are most credible in evaluating the
effectiveness of psychological treatment research. In this discussion you will analyze basic
applied psychological research as well as evaluate how researchers applied a research process in
the development of specific components. To begin, read the following articles (which can be
accessed through the ProQuest database in the Ashford University Library):
“Evidence-Based Practice in Psychology: Implications for Research and Research
Training”
“Practice-Based Evidence: Back to the Future”
“Psychological Treatments: Putting Evidence into Practice and Practice into Evidence”
After reading the articles listed above, select two of them. Analyze the basic applied research
within each of your two selected articles by answering the following questions:
What is the main point-of-view in each article?
What are the primary assumptions each author makes?
Which author are you inclined to agree with? Support your choice with scholarly
reasoning and cite your evidence.

You are required to include one peer-reviewed source that was published within the last five
years to support your perspective. You may not use any of the sources that were assigned for
this course. For assistance finding articles view the “Searching for Articles” and the “Peer-
Reviewed Articles” tutorials which are available under Tutorials on the Getting Research
Help tab at the top of the Ashford University Library homepage.
Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts. Provide a substantive response to
at least two of your peers. As you respond to your peers, consider the following:
What evidence did they use to support their perspectives?
Do you agree or disagree with their conclusions? Support your position with evidence
from the articles.
What alternative conclusions could be drawn from the evidence they discussed?
It is suggested that you return to the discussion forum before the end of the week to read and
respond to the responses to your posts.
