The report must contain the following sections. (Use these sections as headings in the paper.)
Study Design — This is an overview section that includes information from your previous assignments. You
should repeat the research question and hypotheses from your literature review assignment here, then
briefly tell what type of study you would do, what type of data you would collect, and summarize how you
would collect and analyze the data. Most of these points are covered in more detail in later sections.
Population and Sample — This is a short section describing the population for your report, your sample, and
how your sample will be selected.
Variables and Measures — Describe the variables in your study. Indicate whether they are independent,
dependent, moderating, or intervening. Describe the relationship between the variables. Tell how they will
be measured.
Data Collection Methods — Tell what kind of data you need to collect and how, where, and when you will
collect the data. If you plan to use a survey or questionnaire, include a copy of that instrument in an
appendix to your report. Also, include a copy of your cover letter for your survey. If you plan to interview, tell
if it would be structured or unstructured and why. If it is a structured interview, include the questions you
would ask in an appendix to the report.
Data Analysis Methods — Describe the techniques you will use to analyze the data. Indicate why you
selected those methods and why they are appropriate. You must be specific and detailed in identifying and
justifying the processes and statistical tests you will use in the analysis of your data.
References - Your report must contain a reference section that includes all sources in your paper.
References must be in APA format.
