Draft a three to four page paper and briefly discuss the nature of your proposed study. The paper should describe the research design, and the research question(s). At this stage, you should be able to
Clearly identify the variables of your study as stated in your research question(s) and provide an operational definition for each variable.
Indicate how data for each one of these variables will be collected (including source of data, available range, and so forth)
If applicable, indicate the independent and dependent variables and identify any covariates.
Determine types and level of measurement of all variables (categorical or quantitative). For categorical variables specify the number of categories.
Based on your reading and using the Table of Statistical Tests in Chapter 2, determine the most appropriate statistical test for your research questions, (i.e., degree of relationship, group differences, prediction of group membership, or structure.)
Identify the appropriate statistical test(s) for your research question(s). Please note that this process will be refined further when you begin defining specific hypotheses for each research question
