- Imagine you are going to conduct research investigating a human behavior that you would be interested in learning more about. Be sure to describe that topic so that your classmates know what your research questions are and so that they can better understand your study. What are your specific predictions/hypotheses (e.g., what do you expect the findings of your study to be)?
Sample Solution
I am interested in researching the impact of online communication on relationships between family members and friends. Specifically, I am interested in understanding how interactions with family and friends over social media affects the quality of those relationships. My prediction is that increased frequency of online communication will have a positive effect on relationships, as it provides an easy way to stay connected with people who are geographically distant. However, I also hypothesize that too much reliance on digital communication may lead to decreased interpersonal connection and thus a decrease in relationship quality.
