This is a research project for my Human and Behavioral science methodology class.
The introduction must be between 2 and 3 full pages (not counting the title page). Begin by introducing the problem and proceed to walk the reader through the relevant literature. Using PsychINFO, locate at least five empirical articles related to your topic. These must be correctly and meaningfully cited within your introduction.
Your introduction should adhere to the following format:
APA title page (title should allude to all of your key variables)
Introduction (identify the problem area, explain the importance of the problem area, define the dependent variable in light of prior literature)
Lit Review (define each independent variable in light of prior literature, explain why and how each independent variable should influence the dependent variable, cite at least one study in which the theorized relationship [or a similar relationship] occurred)
Explain how your study extends the literature
Clearly state your hypothesis / research question
For additional guidance in the completion of this assignment:
