Describe the need to belong and the research in the reading, An Introduction to the Science of Social Psychology, that supports the need to belong.
Describe your own hypothesis about the need to belong that can be tested in an experiment (e.g., I predict that those who feel a sense of belonging will perform better).
Create an experiment that tests this hypothesis. Be sure to describe the experimental conditions fully. Explicitly name the independent variable and the dependent variable in your experiment.
Describe the results as if your hypothesis was supported and relate your findings to the need to belong.
