For this assignment you are going to propose to us what your plan is for Paper 1.
You should state your correlational hypothesis regarding 2 variables. Remember hypotheses are in the form of a testable statement, not a question. Describe a little about why you find this hypothesis interesting.
You can find a copy of the
and here, if you want to look at it again to brainstorm some ideas. Also, your discussion group for last week () lists out a number of papers about the various measures and your peers would have discussed on some of them. Looking at these might also give some inspiration.
Remember: you need a hypothesis about how 2 different variables in the survey correlate together. It is up to you to decide which 2 variables you would like to look at.
Annotated Bibliography: You are also expected to find 3 peer-reviewed primary research articles related to your hypotheses. For each article please give a short (4-5 sentence) of the article. This summary should include:
- A sentence on their hypothesis or research question
- A sentence or two on their methods (What did they actually do?)
- A sentence or two on their findings (What were their results?)
- A sentence on what their findings mean (What are the implications? Why is this study interesting?)
Please upload the following:
- One word document that outlines your variables of interest and hypothesis. This should also include your annotated bibliography (the APA style references for your 3 articles and the article summaries).
- Three PDFs of the full articles that you are referencing and summarizing in your annotated bibliography. Do NOT upload a screenshot of the abstract or the first page. We want to see that you were able to retrieve the article using either Google scholar or the Library database.
