Part 1. Create a an empirical, directional research hypothesis with psychology topic. in other words, a statement of prediction about the relationship between two variables (topics).<\/span><\/p>\n

The hypothesis should be clearly relational OR causal example: o Relational (e.g. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I predict that…is associated with\/related to…\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd)<\/span><\/div>\n
predict a causal relationship (e.g. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I predict that…leads to\/causes…\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd).<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Part 2: create outline <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Paragraph One (Should have at least 2 sources\/citations) Goal is to introduce the topic of your paper<\/span><\/div>\n
A.Get attention <\/span>with a statistic OR general statement about the topic<\/span><\/div>\n
B.Introduce topics and literature gap (briefly explain the research closest to your current study and identify the gap; what is missing from this prior work?<\/span><\/div>\n
C.Specific research goal: Briefly explain what the current study aims to discover; what is your general research question?<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Paragraph Two (At least 2 citations): Goal is to Introduce, Define and Explain the FIRST Variable<\/span><\/div>\n
D.Define the variable): What is the basic definition of the first topic? You should try to use a citation from the first research paper on the topic, which means that this citation may be older than 10 years ago\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s OK in this case! (Do NOT use a regular dictionary unless the topic has not been scientifically studied before!)<\/span><\/div>\n
E.Features and\/or correlates of variable ( What are some important things for people to know about this variable? If it is type of disorder or condition, what are the features\/symptoms? Does it tend to have a negative or positive impact on people? What are some other important variables that it is connected to (called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153correlates\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd)?<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Paragraph Three (At least 2 citations): Goal is to Introduce, Define and Explain the SECOND Variable <\/span><\/div>\n
F.Define the variable (.<\/span>See above<\/span><\/div>\n
G.Features and\/or correlates of variable ): See above<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Paragraph Four (at least 1 citation): Goal is to identifying similar work & the literature GAP<\/span><\/div>\n
H.Similar Work <\/span>: In this section describe the study or studies that exist that are the CLOSEST to your current study. You will want to give a bit more information about this prior research (take a few sentences to give some details about the methods and results) than the studies described in paragraphs 2 and 3 since this work is the closest to your own.<\/span><\/div>\n
I.Literature GAP (1 pt): What did the similar work NOT investigate that your research WILL investigate? ONLY mention literature gaps that your study will address; don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mention a gap you will not fill or it will confuse the reader!<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/div>\n
Paragraph Five (at least 1 citation): Goal is to restate the GAP, emphasize importance of topic, identify specific hypothesis<\/span><\/div>\n
J.Current Study addresses the GAP : You are just stating what was just stated in the previous paragraph; what was missing in prior work that your study will investigate.<\/span><\/div>\n
K.Importance of Study : Remind the reader why this is an important topic by restating one of the facts about the variables from paragraphs 2 or 3; is it connected to a negative outcome, for example?<\/span><\/div>\n
L.Specific Hypothesis : Provide your specific hypothesis and be sure it is directional (amounts of variables if a relational hyp. OR differences in conditions is a causal hypothesis)<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
