It is required from me to create a few things for my experimental project:
provide a working title for your project
provide a literature review outlining the rationale for your study
state your research question and 3 hypotheses.
Like an essay, a literature review is essentially made up of three different sections: an introduction, the main body and the conclusion.
To design my experiment in summary, I will need 2 IVs (with 2 levels per IV). This will enable me to run a two-way ANOVA which is the inferential statistic. Both of my IVs need to be backed up by literature and you will need 3 hypotheses.
I would prefer the neuropsychology area,
Can different types of music lead to different physiological responses?
How does caffeine impact performance on a Stroop test? How does caffeine intake influence cognition abilities?
Could I ask you to choose one from above or anything else you can think will be appropriate for my future experiment project TWO-WAY ANOVA with 2 levels per IV.
Word limit: 1200 words total excluding reference list. You are advised to use a maximum of 50 words on the title and research question together.
Your working title should be short and mention the method and topic you wish to investigate. Your literature review should draw on evidence from three to five studies you have found in academic journals or book chapters (not textbooks). You should evaluate these studies and aim to identify a gap in the literature (or limitations with previous work) that your project will aim to fill or address. You should then use your review of the literature to justify your research question or hypothesis.
Structure
Like an essay, a literature review is essentially made up of three different sections: an introduction, the main body and the conclusion.
The introduction should explain the broad context of your research area and the main topic(s) you are interested in and why (defining any key terms, if needs be). It should also include a brief overview of the format your review will take.
The main body makes up the bulk of the review. Here you should include a description and critical analysis of the literature that is relevant to your research. This should serve to contextualise your own research by illustrating how it builds on what has been done before. This should include at least three to five studies you have found in academic journals or book chapters (not textbooks).
An important part of the review is to provide a critical assessment of the studies you identify, comparing and critically evaluating the different contributions to the literature. In this way the review goes beyond simply providing a list of the published papers or chapters that you identified in the literature search. Instead, it should aim to identify any patterns and shortcomings in the literature, which can be used to justify your own work. For example, this might include one (or more) of the following:
Identifying significant patterns, relationships or themes within the literature.
Discussing areas where there are unresolved questions or conflicting evidence.
Identifying methodological or theoretical weaknesses within different studies that need to be addressed.
Specifying areas that have been under-researched or not researched at all.
In terms of the shape of the review, you should start off with a general, wider view of the literature, gradually narrowing it down to address the specific focus of your research. It should allow the reader to understand what you are doing and why you are doing it.
The conclusion should summarise and evaluate the important aspects of your review. Importantly, it should summarise any significant problems or gaps within the existing research and explicitly explain how your proposed study is going to address these gaps or build on the existing literature to produce something new. You should end this section with your proposed research question or hypotheses, linking your research to existing knowledge. Your research question or hypothesis should read as a logical conclusion to the discussion of the literature.
Essentially I need an experiment title, literature review, and 3 hypotheses written in form of easy, so in the future, I can use it as an experimental project for two-way ANOVA with 2 levels IV.
