Research Proposal on Decision Making Specific Aims the Research ProposalDecision making influences the whole of human life, especially human behavior. For instance, one decides what to eat, what not to eat, whether to do a given task and how to do it, or whether not to engage in it. Literary, some people are morally upright, whose behaviors reflect good actions and goodwill for the people who surround them. On the other hand, there are others who demoralized, and whose actions are extremely diabolic and wicked. All these are processed in their brains. Concerning this, this research is proposed to research the procedure involved in decision-making as far as the human brain is considered.
Research Problem: This research, therefore, is aimed at studying psychological disorders that lead to crime. There are allegedly a variety of psychological disorders that can lead to criminal mind and consequently lead to the individual committing crimes. This research will look into these disorders, their signs and symptoms, how acute they, and how they can be controlled, avoided, or treated.
Certainly, most of the actions that are taken by human beings are as a result of their decision-making processes. In this research, neuropsychological assessment and tests will be conducted on criminals whose decision-making seem to result in behavior and actions that are unethical and immoral, and that is threatening to the well-being of others. Specifically, the research will aim at having a deeper understanding of human behavior as it is processed through the neuroscientific process that arrives at arriving at a given decision. Moreover, the research will aim at finding out whether some steps in this process can be altered to prevent an individual from arriving at given decisions that might be considered to be liable of causing disasters in case the subject arrives at the stage of taking action.
In conjunction to the above, the research will aim at venturing on crime reduction and more vitally, try to find out if the information found in the research may help in restoring good behaviors in psychological criminals. Thus, the research will undergo a process of finding out a neuropsychological therapy for restoring good behaviors in mentally damaged subjects. In summary, the hypothesis of this research is to find out if an individual’s decision-making process can be further understood and permanently altered, especially for individuals with undesirable, immoral and unethical behaviors.
Therefore, the research will require funding to assist in gathering information from both primary, secondary and tertiary sources. Primary sources of information will include experiments, which will require human subjects. This will require for the government to authorize the research and perhaps issue inmates who had been convicted for heinous criminal cases, and who might have been incarcerated for being a threat to the welfare of the society. This implies that both qualitative and quantitative methods of conducting the research will be applied. There will be required experienced personnel in the field of neuropsychology and neuroscience. Lastly, qualitative research will entail conducting surveys, questionnaire, and use of interviews as the primary sources of information.
