Topic: Number of Sexual Partners and Impulsivity
Hypothesis: We hypothesize that men will have more sexual partners than women. In addition, we also hypothesize that individuals who are impulsive, will also have more sexual partners. Lastly, we hypothesize that there will be a relationship between gender and impulsivity, and it will be stronger among males in comparison to females.
To begin your introduction there are a few things you must research.
Here are some ideas.
Please visit the library or writing center (virtually) on how to find peer reviewed articles. You can start by researching;
Sexual differences between males and females
What does impulsivity mean and how does it relate to sex?
Are men more sexual than women? What does that even mean?
This will consist of your general research question, stated hypotheses, introduction and other research. This is basically your introduction and you should cite at least 4-6 studies (peer review journal articles) relevant to your research. The Introduction should be 2-3 pages of content (not including the cover page and references page) and be written in APA format. Don’t forget to include your references. There should be a title page, the introduction and reference page only!
Make sure to write your paper in third person. NEVER FIRST PERSON. Especially for the introduction. Also, you must re-state what is the purpose of our study and our hypothesis at the end of your introduction.
To get an idea of what your introduction / literature review should look like, please look at all the introductions of your articles. Obviously, they do not have to be that long, but it should give you an idea of how it is written.
