Module 12: Can We Trust These Findings?

Purpose

In this discussion board, you will use AI to create a research study. Then you will analyze that study on your own. You will decide whether the study has internal validity and external validity. You will also think about whether the findings could be used in your future career.

This will help you practice:

• Deciding if a studys results can be trusted
• Deciding if a studys results can be applied to real people in real settings
• Connecting research concepts to your own professional goals

Part 1 Use AI to Generate a Study

In this part, you will write your own prompt and use an AI tool (such as ChatGPT, CoPilot, or Claude) to generate a simple research study.

Your prompt to the AI must ask for all of the following:

• A simple research study in a setting that relates to your career goals (such as a clinic, school, or community program)
• A description of the participants
• A description of the procedure
• A description of how results would be measured
• A study that is about 150200 words
• A study that does NOT label or identify its own research design
• A study that does NOT identify any of its weaknesses or shortcomings

Copy and paste your prompt AND the full AI response into your discussion post.

Part 2 Analyze the Study (Your Work Only)

You must complete this part on your own. Do not ask AI to help you answer these questions.

Answer each question in about 23 sentences.

1. Identify one threat to internal validity in the study the AI generated. Explain why it is a threat and how you, as the researcher, could address it.
2. Identify one threat to external validity in the study the AI generated. Explain why it is a threat and how you, as the researcher, could address it.

Part 3 Post Your Work in the Discussion Board

You must complete all parts of this assignment in one single discussion board box in Blackboard. Do not upload or attach any Word documents or other files. Everything must be typed or pasted directly into the discussion board.

Your post must include the following sections, in this exact order:

• The prompt you wrote for the AI
• The full AI-generated study
• Your answers to the two analysis questions from Part 2
• Your AI attribution statement (12 sentences)

Your AI attribution statement must confirm that you used AI only for Part 1 and completed Part 2 on your own.
