Outline a research question and hypothesis that interests you and describe the key variables. This could be the research question you plan to use for your final project but it does not have to be. What are the key variables? How could these variables be operationalized? Are there any ethical issues that arise when studying this topic? Also be sure to label the independent and dependent variables. When responding to your classmates suggest other ways that the variables in their research question could be operationally defined.
