For your final project, you
will be choosing one research question that youd like to gain some information about or perhaps even an answer to.
Besides picking your question, you have to decide how to present it.
You need to:
1. Convert your topic from your Midterm Project to a actionable research question
Pick a question to do.
2. Establish a hypothesis.
3. Include a brief summary of the general background of your topic
In other words, why would the psychological world care about your question?
Has your question or experiment been completed before by professionals?
What is the existing research on your topic? Let us know. You should incorporate psychological principles and concepts to which your topic relates throughout your project. Use the psyche lingo!
4. Decide what methodology you will use to do the question (i.e. experiment, survey, naturalistic observations, interviews). You must provide detailed information regarding your methodology (type, sample size, variables, possible mistakes you made, etc.). Surveys/interviews must have at least 15 questions.
5. Do your question. Perform your experiments, create your surveys etc. You must have either video or photo documentation of this. If it is an experiment (which most of them should be), use our class as subjects. We need to see what you actually did. Make sure you have utilized at least 30 people for a survey and at least 10 for a hands-on experiment. Use Survey Monkey or another online survey tool to generate a survey and post on social media/send through email.
6. Gather your results, analyze your data, draw conclusions and create your presentation.
7. Tell us the story of how you got to where you are at the end of your project.
Guidelines
1. What is your proposed topic or question?
2. Through which medium (MovieMaker, PhotoStory, PowerPoint, etc.) are you going to present your project? How will you engage us in your research? How will you make it interactive?
3. How does your topic connect to Social Psychology? Why would the psychological world care about your question?
4. What is your hypothesis?
5. What research method(s) do you plan to employ (interviews, surveys, simple experiment or naturalistic observation?)
6. Please list four reputable sources you plan to use for when you give us a brief summary of the general background of your topic (articles from magazine, website links etc.):
