Determines the plan’s background introduction.
Develops a clear and specific research question that is relevant to the three research studies chosen.
Develops a clear, specific, and testable hypothesis that corresponds to the research question.
Describes aspects of sampling that would be considered while acquiring participants for the study.
Selects a design (experimental or correlational) for the proposed study that aligns with the research question and hypothesis.
Selects a measure to operationally define each of the conceptual variables.
