Psychology Statistics data report project

**See attachment labeled >> Research Proposal<< for my Variables (remember you helped me complete that assignment).

NOW: that you have finalized your research question, you will begin to write the introduction to your final paper. The introduction must be between 2 and 3 full pages (not counting the title page). Begin by introducing the problem and proceed to walk the reader through the relevant literature. Using PsychINFO, locate at least five empirical articles related to your topic. These must be correctly and meaningfully cited within your introduction.Your introduction should adhere to the following format:

· APA title page (title should allude to all of your key variables)

· Introduction (identify the problem area, explain the importance of the problem area, define the dependent variable in light of prior literature)

· Lit Review (define each independent variable in light of prior literature, explain why and how each independent variable should influence the dependent variable, cite at least one study in which the theorized relationship [or a similar relationship] occurred)

· Explain how your study extends the literature

· Clearly state your hypothesis / research question

For additional guidance in the completion of this assignment:

· See the attachment for an example of an introduction section.

NEXT: You will complete the method section of your final capstone project. The Method section must include the following subsections: Participants, Measures, and Procedure. Under the Measures subsection, you need to provide detailed information about all of the variables in your study. For each instrument you use in your study, include a sample item and list the response options. Also, cite at least one prior study which used that same instrument. Provide the internal reliability of that measure, as reported by the previous author, as well as some validity evidence for the measure. I have provided some useful articles in a separate folder (“Instrumentation Articles”) to help you with this part of the assignment. Using the attached dataset, you will then examine and report the factor structure of the items, as well as their internal reliability.
