Variables and Operational Definitions

In this activity, you will submit the following elements, resulting in a set of hypotheses.

1. State your Research Topic, Objective/Purpose, and Research Question(s).
2. List and label the variables, including independent, dependent, intervening, or moderating.
3. Explain the relationships among the variables.
4. Describe the purpose of operationalizing variables.
5. Describe how you would operationalize the variables in your research question(s). You can mention more than one possible option for these, as there can be different ways of operationalizing the same variables.
6. Develop a set of hypotheses (null and alternative) from your identified variables that address your identified research question(s).
