Research Question Project-Social Psychology Recitation (Fall 2020)Step 1: Identify a research question. develop a substantive question related to the course material (i.e., social psychology). This could be an issue that you feel is unresolved by the current literature. It could involve applying ideas, theories, or techniques from one domain to another. You could address an inconsistency you believe exists in extant research. You could be an entirely novel issue no one else has considered.Step 2: Construct a potential answer/prediction. Having identified a question, draw upon thescientific literature to generate plausible predictions(at least 2). One of the most productive things to do at this stage is draw upon the techniques we discussed from McGuire to come up with different possibilities. You mayhave a favorite hypothesis, but you should engage with and be prepared to rule out other potential ideas.Step 3: Ground your question and predictions in the literature. What prior work is relevant to your ideas and what lends support to your predictionsor to one prediction vs. another?•You should summarize/report the results/findings of at least 2 empirical studies to support your predictions. Step 4: Study Proposal. Design at least one study to address your questions and test your predictions. You can use any type of appropriate design (longitudinal, correlational, experimental, etc.)or a combination. a)Outline the proceduresof your study (e.g., what will participants be doing, how will you collect the data, etc.)
b)Describe relevant manipulations and measures (e.g., what is your independent variable, what is your dependent variable, how will you measure them, etc.)c)Outline your specific hypotheses. What would you expect to observe if your ideas arecorrect? What pattern of evidence could disprove your ideas?d)What future work needed to further understand this topic?Format:APA style,3-4pages of text, plus references, figures, etc. Please include an intro and a conclusion
