This discussion will help you identify your topic and question for your Capstone

This discussion will help you identify your topic and question for your Capstone Project. The end goal of the Capstone Project is to provide a solution that is supported by empirical research findings, relevant psychological theories and concepts, and Scripture.
It is important to narrow your topic in Session 1. Please review the information and videos provided for you in the Capstone Overview. It is encouraged that you email your instructor, during the first session, if you need additional guidance. Your instructor will provide specific feedback on your topic when grading this discussion prompt.
Examples of Broad & Narrow Topics:
Broad Topic: Depression
Less Broad Topic: Depression in Women
Narrower Topic: Post-Partum Depression in Women
Narrow Topic/Problem Question: Why do so many women go untreated for post-partum depression?
Answer the following in your initial discussion post.
What is your topic and the problem question you intend to research?
Why does this topic interest you, and how do you plan to use this research after graduation?
Predict two – three overarching psychological concepts from the Program Core Highlight Chart 2022.docx that may play a large role your capstone topic. These concepts may come from any of your previous courses.
This link is a helpful refresher of the many psychological theories that you have encountered during your degree program and should be reviewed, along with the chart, so that you include pertinent theories into your capstone paper.
Await instructor approval/guidance of your topic before proceeding to Session 2. It is possible that you may need to adjust your topic. A broad topic without an identified problem or question will be hard to manage as the course progresses.
