Module 1 Exercise
Question 1
a)
Yes, this research included a sampling component. Those who took the survey came from
just one university (Georgia State University) and only one nursing school (The Lewis College of
Nursing and Health Professions). Findings from the limited sample size (n = 319) should not be
extrapolated to students in the medical field. Future study should include more diverse samples.
Women and nursing students made up a majority of the participants in this research, thus it was
not unexpected. There were a considerable number of female students in this college’s
undergraduate nursing degree, which was its most popular program (80 percent women to 20
percent men). The data could not be analyzed to see whether there were any gender or program
affiliation disparities. Due to the small sample size, the statistical significance established across
the four age groups and the five different health professions may not be clinically relevant.
b)
There is a measuring issue. Because the literature on college water pipe usage has
developed dramatically in the last decade. Most research on water pipe smoking predictions have
focused on the effects of alcohol or drugs, but few have looked at the effects of anxiety/depression
or stress. The usage of water pipes by college students is also constrained by various
methodological issues. A few studies employ convenience (eg, first-year psychology students)
rather than representative samples. Even representative groups have low response rates. For the
National College Health Assessment, Primack et al24 surveyed 3,600 college students online, but
only 18.6% replied. Because survey respondents and non-responders typically vary significantly,
2
it is difficult to extrapolate current statistics to the larger community of college student water pipe
users. Water pipe smoking prevalence and correlates need national and campus-level study.
c)
No, since, despite the health risks, water pipe smoking is very widespread among college
students, with about one-fifth reporting consumption in the previous year. It is associated with
male gender, Arab ancestry, cigarette smoking, and the notion that it is less dangerous than
smoking cigarettes. There is a need for further research on college student water pipe smoking
utilizing various approaches and theoretical frameworks.
d)
some other flaws in the article are:
i.
In the absence of longitudinal or prospective student waterpipe research. As a consequence,
it’s unclear what factors influence waterpipe usage. Waterpipe usage peaks in adolescence
and declines over the third decade of life, similar to alcohol and drug use.
ii.
Online questionnaires, rather than interviews or lab activities, provide most student
waterpipe smoking statistics. Quizzes cannot assess cognitive performance, laboratory
impulsivity, or DSM-IV disorders, for example.
iii.
Only a few research has looked at how possible indicators of waterpipe usage interact.
What if the associations between independent factors and waterpipe usage differed by
gender, racial/ethnic origins, age, personality, etc?
e)
3
A variety of waterpipe smoking cures for college students are now available. Tobacco vs
waterpipe for certain youngsters College counseling centers, peer mentors, and student orientation
programs may all assist reduce use. For example, targeting guys, cigarette smokers, Arab students
in the US may succeed. Finally, internet waterpipe tobacco sales and availability must be
monitored to keep underage smokers out.
Question 2
a)
yes, reviewers have clearly identified the topic of the review as well as indicating its
delimitations. It tackles the issue head-on.
b)
Literature reviews are written in the form of an essay, with each subject broken down into
subtopics. Finding studies was made possible by searching PubMed, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and
Academic Search Premier. There was a lot of interest in the following terms: “waterpipe,”
“hookah,” “shisha,” “nargila,” “argileh,” “hubble bubble,” and the terms “college” and “university”
among others.
c)
The reviewers have merely summarized this literature review. It is estimated that one in
five college students have used a waterpipe in the last year despite the risks to their health. Men,
Arab heritage, cigarette smoking, and the belief that waterpipe smoking is less harmful than
cigarette smoking all go hand in hand with waterpipe smoking. In order to have a better knowledge
4
of college student waterpipe smoking, further research using a variety of methodologies and
theoretical frameworks is needed.
d)
Reviewers’ synthesis of the literature adds significantly to our understanding of the world’s
knowledge base because: Waterpipe smoking is quite popular among college students, despite its
negative health implications. To progress the discipline, further research with better methodology
and theoretical frameworks is required.

Dilemma of Teaching
Introduction
As a teacher, we face different moral issues. They are confronted with wasteful asset allotment,
the unseemly conversation of understudies, and flighty collaborators. Bullying is a major ethical
issue. Teachers must ensure that pupils are not bullied by other students or teachers, as happened
in the case reported in the Sun-Sentinel. When a student takes an exam and the principal changes
the test, there is an assessment conflict. That is unethical and incorrect, as any instructor knows.
In decision making, a moral issue happens when one of the potential choices powers the
specialist to break or infringe on their ethical standards. The specialist should have the option to
look over an assortment of choices. Bullying in school is a global epidemic that annually affects
many primarily innocent students. Though it has been prominent all along, it has taken a
different turn in recent years with severe and increasingly dangerous schools around the globe. In
the past, where it was all about the classical situation of bullying, parents were concerned, but it
was not that huge of a problem as when people interact, such cases are bound to happen, and it
was also a mere problem of city schools. In recent years, parents, teachers, and students are now
worried about various weapons being carried around schools and the multiple shootings that
have been observed in schools.
Conclusion
To conclude, school violence has become one of the most challenging issues in today’s society as
it has become increasingly common over time. Psychologists, teachers, and officials have
struggled to understand why pupils are performing these acts of violence and have yet to solve
this serious problem. Furthermore, everyone part of these terrible catastrophes experiences grief
2
and suffering somehow. We should all join hands to ensure that we gear all our efforts into
stopping and hindering this dilemma from further distractions and damages to the students
physically and mentally.

2. If your instructor has assigned a term paper on a speci?c topic, search the database
using a simple phrase that describes this topic. If you are working on your own, select
an area that interests you, and search the database using a simple phrase that describes
your area of interest. How many citations for the literature did the search produce?
Using the given topic for the search, “bullying,” about 1,100,000 results were
found from the database in use.
3. Retrieve two or three records from your search and locate the lists of descriptors.
Compare the lists and note the areas of commonality as well as differences. Write
down the exact wording of three descriptors that relate to your intended topic.
Choose descriptors that re?ect your personal interest in the topic.
Compared to the simple phrase you used when you started, do you think these
descriptors are more speci?c or more general? Why?
New perspectives on bullying: Rigby, K. (2002). New perspectives on
bullying. Jessica Kingsley Publishers.
School bullying: Insights and perspectives: Sharp, S., & Smith, P. (2002).
School bullying: Insights and perspectives. Routledge.
Understanding and preventing bullying: Farrington, D. P. (1993).
Understanding and preventing bullying. Crime and justice, 17, 381-458.
New perspectives on bullying: This set of descriptors feel general in purpose
intended. This is because it feels that there is more to bullying in multiple other areas
that they are yet to learn of.
School bullying: Insights and perspectives: This set of descriptors is used to
allow for a more specific set of expectations from the contents that can be found in
the book. The descriptors here get one’s attention to the insights and perspectives that
may be reflected by the book being cited.
Understanding and preventing bullying: The descriptors used for the journal
article here feel generally placed for the topic. Therefore, the skills passed on from
interacting with it can be applied to many areas where bullying as a topic is of
significant concern.
4. Now, use the descriptors you just located to modify the search.
First, modify the search to select more records.
Then, modify the search to select fewer records.
If you used the connector AND, did it result in more or fewer sources?
Why do you think this happened?
If you used the connector OR, did it result in more or fewer sources? Why do
you think this happened?
2
The search results were lessened by more than half of the initial search using
the descriptors without the conjunction “AND.” The search term used was too
detailed and specific. Therefore to get the exact resources relevant to the topic being
searched for, the results given from the database query were lessened.
The search results were higher than the use of the conjunction “AND.” The
conjunction OR displays a possibility of either one of the descriptors being what is
meant for the search from the database. This way, the articles presented as outcomes
of the executed query include either descriptor matched by the resources in the
database.
5. If necessary, narrow the search further until you have between 50 and 150 sources,
and print out the search results.
Carefully scan the printed list to identify several possible subcategories.

Compare the new categories with your original topic.
The topics hold the key to more profound knowledge that could be relevant to
the issue of bullying in schools. One might understand how the environment is
causative to the occurrences and many other factors that may be overlooked but
significantly weigh in on the discussed matter.
Rede?ne your topic more narrowly, and identify the articles that pertain to
your new topic. Prepare a list of the references for these articles.
