Examining the effects of impulsivity on the criminal behavior.
State your research topic that you have selected and develop one research question that addresses that topic. Do not change or modify the title of your topic.
Turn that research question into a testable hypothesis (i.e., develop the expected answer to the research question that you’ve developed above).
Identify and define the independent and the dependent Be very specific here.
In details, identify how you plan to measure the independent variables (the cause)
In details, identify how you plan to measure the dependent variable (the effect)
Identify at least three control variables and how you plan to measure each one of them. Control variables are independent variables that have a known affect on the dependent variable (but for the proposed study, they are held constant – remain unchanged).
Find ten (10) peer-reviewed research articles related to your topic and include full citations at the end of your post. Your references need to be in APA format. Make sure your references closely relate to your topic, not just random references. Each research article needs to have your dependent variable and at least one of your independent variables. Do not include websites as references. They need to be research articles. These references (e.g., peer-reviewed articles) should help you identify your independent and dependent variables for your study, as well as the measures of IVs and DVs. So, find 10 articles and read them first before you discuss the above elements. See Example Discussion post.
