Putting it all togetherRunning head: Community and political service and social media use 1 Community and political service and social media use 5 Community and political service and social media use Student name School Comment from Professor: I appreciate your effort on this first attempt but several things are missing which I will detail in turn. I would recommend reviewing the sample research paper in your course resources which is a good model to follow for an APA-style research paper. The main thing is to follow a standard format with appropriate subheadings, such as participants, procedures, and measures. This submission doesnt tell us who is being recruited (adults age 18+) or by whom (students in a graduate psychology class). It doesnt tell us where the survey will be conducted (Survey Monkey), how participants will be recruited (using social media), or that they will be consented. It also doesnt go into any detail about the key measures (CSAS) such as how many items it has, a sample item, response options, or include an in-text citation for the measure. All of these details would be relevant for your methods section and should be incorporated into your final submission. *The latter is the only thing really missing here--future directions. A discussion section typically addresses where research can make up for limitations of our work, which is also addressed in the discussion. Adding those elements will round this out nicel Literature review According to (Fenn et al, 2022), community service, or unpaid activity that aims to improve the lives of others, is often linked to a better quality of life. However, little attention has been paid to the process of starting and maintaining community service engagement. The Trans-theoretical Model (TTM) of behavior modification was used to investigate young individuals preparation for community service. Self-efficacy and the relevance of positives increased across preparedness groups, while the value of negatives declined. This is consistent with past TTM uses. It is possible to use the findings of this study to guide readiness-targeted community service interventions. Longitudinal research on community service preparation beyond the college context might be beneficial in this field of study. Dana et al (2021) conducted a similar study with an aim to design and evaluate a 10-item attitudes to formal volunteering scale for retired older individuals that may be used to guide intervention efforts because favorable attitudes to volunteering are connected with support for volunteering and individual engagement. Two components (the overall attitude toward volunteerism and the attitude toward participation in volunteerism) accounted for 64\% of the variance in attitude scores, according to principal component analysis. In a confirmatory factor analysis, the two-factor model was shown to match the data perfectly. The proposed scale could be a valuable tool for gauging the attitudes of retired older individuals1 RUNNING HEAD: Sample Paper A Sample Research Paper Modified extensively from: Stadtlander, L., Giles, M., Sickel, A., Brooks, E., Brown, C., Cormell, M., Ewing, L., Hart, D., Koons, D., Olson, C., Parker, P., Semenova, V., & Stoneking, S.

Stadtlander Walden University 2 RUNNING HEAD: Sample Paper Abstract This survey study examined 35 healthy, independent living individuals (over 85 years) perceptions of their relationship with their primary health provider (PHP) and health practices. The majority indicated they visited their PHP just for preventative care; the number of PHP visits per year was significantly lower than reported for individuals over 85 by the CDC, possible reasons for this finding are provided. A positive relationship between locus of control (LOC) for the oldest-old was found. Few participants indicated their PHP had discussed normal changes with aging. This study has deepened understanding of the complexity inherent to the healthy oldest-old adults relationship with their PHP. The findings suggest this relationship relates to the PHPs personal characteristics, the elderly patients LOC, and the influence of the accompanying patient escort. 3 RUNNING HEAD: Sample Paper Independent Living Oldest-Old and Their Primary Health Provider: A Survey Examining the Influence of Locus of Control The 2000 U.S. Census (2001) reported 4.2 million people were over the age of 85 (1.5\% of the population); this group has been designated the “the oldest-old” by demographers and is the most rapidly growing age group. Currently the cost of health service utilization for the oldest- old averages $22,000 per year compared to $9,000 for individuals 65-74 years old (Krause, 2010). It would be logical to assume individuals on the less healthy side of the spectrum, who require nursing care or are in facilities (21.9\% of this age group, Gist & Hetzel, 2004), bias this $22,000 mean. However, little is known about the oldest-old who are on the healthy end of the continuum. How do these individuals interact with their Primary Health Provider (PHP), and how do their personalities affect the interaction? Participants in the current study, while primarily seeing physicians, also mentioned physician assistants and nurse practitioners; thus, the more generic term, Primary Health Provider is used. The patient-by-treatment-context interactive model of Christensen and Johnson (2002) provides the framework for the study. The model proposes that the relationship Descriptive Statistics Descriptive statistics is used for helping to describe the highlights (features) of a particular informational collection by providing short outlines about the sample and proportions of the information (Pallant, 2020). The most perceived kinds of descriptive statistics are proportions of focus: the mean, middle, and mode, which are utilized at practically all degrees of measurements (Loether et al., 1993).
