Instructions:
- Write an introduction explaining your choice of the topic and the theory or concept related to it.

Chapter 1 of the required textbook for guidance but do not reuse the sample questions or
hypotheses provided in the textbook). Your research question and hypothesis must be written in
your own words. - Select and describe a research method (descriptive, correlational, or experimental) that you
would use to test your hypothesis. - Describe who would be your potential research participants if you were to conduct this study
in real life; provide your sample size, that is, how many participants and groups you would need
for the research method you selected (caution: you must not attempt to approach or recruit
anyone for this research paper; you are required to write a proposal, not to conduct a real study). - Discuss the ethical requirements that you would need to follow if you were to conduct this
study in real life. - Discuss the data analysis strategy that you would use to analyze your prospective data.
- Concluding remarks (summarize what you have learned while writing your paper and how this knowledge will help you to better understand psychology).
