Research Proposal Guidelines<\/span><\/strong>

For this assignment, students will <\/span><\/span>write a narrative <\/span><\/span>of their research proposal centering <\/span><\/span>on a study that they would be interested in conducting.<\/span> <\/span>As PSY 235 is designated as a writing intensive class for the Psychology department,<\/strong>t<\/strong>he research proposal should <\/span><\/strong><\/span>be at least 15 pages (inclusive of all sections).<\/span><\/strong> <\/span>

Requirements<\/span>
\u2022<\/span> <\/span>Research question<\/span> <\/span>must be either an association claim (correlational hypothesis) <\/span><\/span>or causal claim (causation hypothesis) (see Chapter 3<\/span> <\/span>for types of claims<\/span>). Thus, <\/span><\/span>your study must have at least two (2) variables.<\/span>
     o<\/span> <\/span>See Chapters 8 <\/span><\/span>\u2013<\/span> <\/span>9 for more information on correlational rese<\/span>arch<\/span>
     o<\/span> <\/span>See Chapters 10, 12, 13 for more information on experiments that test <\/span><\/span>
causation<\/span>
\u2022<\/span> <\/span>Must propose at least two (2) hypotheses<\/span><\/div>\n
    o<\/span> <\/span>One of the hypotheses must be either a mediation hypothesis <\/span><\/span>(Chapter 9) <\/span><\/span>OR a moderation hypothesis<\/span> <\/span>(Chapter 8, Chapter 12)<\/span>
\u2022<\/span> <\/span>At leas<\/span>t five (5) peer<\/span>–<\/span>reviewed<\/span> <\/span>empirical articles <\/span><\/span>(published from 2012<\/span> <\/span>onward) <\/span><\/span>must be used in the introduction<\/span>\u2019s literature review<\/span> <\/span>and annotated bibliography<\/span><\/div>\n
   NOTE: You can cite other studies (e.g., review articles), but if you have <\/span><\/span>less than 5 <\/span><\/span>peer<\/span>–<\/span>reviewed <\/span><\/span>empirical articles, you will have points deducted<\/span>

Necessary Sections:<\/span><\/em>
Title Page<\/span><\/strong>

Abstract<\/span><\/strong>
The abstract is a summary of your research proposal. Information<\/span> <\/span>about your main <\/span><\/span>research question and hypotheses, the method you intend to use, expected results, and <\/span><\/span>why your study is important (i.e., the implications of your results) should appear here. <\/span><\/span>The abstract should be the last thing you write.<\/span>

Introduction<\/span><\/strong>
T<\/span>his section is a literature review of your topic where you will introduce the relevant <\/span><\/span>background to your research question. The bulk of your citations will be found here. A <\/span><\/span>well<\/span>–<\/span>written introduction reads like a funnel: begin broad, narrowing to your spec<\/span>ific <\/span><\/span>research interest. The literature review will include a synthesis of prior psychological <\/span><\/span>research and theory meant to support your research topic. You should also include your <\/span><\/span>specific research question(s) and hypotheses here.<\/span>

Method<\/span><\/strong>
This <\/span><\/span>section contains who will be in your study and how it will be conducted. This <\/span><\/span>section lays down the groundwork such that if someone reads it, they will be able to <\/span><\/span>replicate your study. This section usually includes the following subsections:<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2022<\/span> <\/span>Participants \/<\/span> <\/span>Subjects: Describe the number and type of people (participants) or <\/span><\/span>animals (subjects) that you will be using in your study. Include how you will <\/span><\/span>recruit these individuals<\/span>
\u2022<\/span> <\/span>Materials: Describe the measures\/tests you will be using and also any <\/span><\/span>manipulations <\/span><\/span>you\u2019ll be making if you\u2019re conducting an experiment. Include <\/span><\/span>sample items for your surveys<\/span>. You must include at least 3 scales that will be used in your study if you’re conducting a survey or 2 scales and description of your experimental manipulations\/stimuli if you’re conducting an experiment. Please see the template for an example.<\/strong><\/span>
\u2022<\/span> <\/span>Procedure: Describe how you will conduct the study in its exact order.<\/span>

Results<\/span><\/strong>
This section will contain information about your method for data analysis. If you ar<\/span>e <\/span><\/span>conducting a correlational study, you will talk about how you will conduct bivariate <\/span><\/span>and\/or multivariate analyses. If you\u2019re conducting an experiment, you\u2019ll give information <\/span><\/span>about how you\u2019ll analyze group differences.<\/span>

Discussion<\/span><\/strong>
For the purposes of thi<\/span>s <\/span><\/span>proposal<\/span>, you will address one theoretical implication, one <\/span><\/span>practical implication of your anticipated results and a future research direction<\/span>.<\/span>
