I’m trying to learn for my Psychology class and I’m stuck. Can you help?
Section A
Here are the required headings:
Individual Interviews vs Focus Groups
My Data Collection
Reflection and Questions
- The difference between collecting data using individual interviews and a focus group (e.g., intent, selecting participants, conducting the interview or focus group)
- Given the topic you are currently using for your research, would you consider using a focus group for your study? Why or why not?
Be sure to support your main post and response post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA style.
Section B
- Review the chapters in the Saldaña text.
- Review the Introduction to Coding and From Content to Coding media programs in the Learning Resources.
- Refer back to your observational field notes from Weeks 1–4 Scholars of Change videos.
- From the remaining videos, choose a different Scholars of Change video and refer to your notes from your observation for this Discussion.
- Access the transcript you downloaded for the media program of the Scholars of Change video you selected for this Discussion.
- Begin to code the transcript and the observational field notes of the Scholar of Change video you chose. (Note: You will only need one or two codes for this Discussion, although more are acceptable.)
Post a brief description of the video you chose. Next, include an example of one or two codes and provide quotes from your notes or transcript to support your example. Finally, explain your reasoning for this coding.
Here are the required headings:
Video Description
Code examples
Explanation
Reflection and Questions
here are the headings/subheadings:

References
Make sure that all sections refer back to the readings and videos, and are appropriately cited. All paragraphs need to be at least four substantive sentences,and each section fully explored. Paper should be fully formatted according to APA requirements.
