  1. Create a title page for your proposal that clearly states the research question you are interested in
    answering.
  2. Write an introduction section that includes your literature review. Be sure to define key terms in your
    introduction.
  3. Write a methods section that details the specific approach you want to take as well as specifics of the
    sample you want to use. Be sure to explain why the approach and sample you chose is appropriate in
    addressing the research question you want to answer.
  4. Provide details for how you will collect and store the data.
    If you take a quantitative approach, identify what existing questionnaires and/or datasets you might be able to
    use and why you think one questionnaire is better than another. For example, if I wanted to study aggression,
    there are a lot of aggression-related questionnaires I could use. Perhaps I would narrow it down to the
    Reactive-Proactive Aggression Questionnaire and the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire, but I would want
    to explain why these two questionnaires are better than the other available options.
    If you take a qualitative approach, discuss how you might be able to access and recruit your ideal sample and
    the timeframe you would want to have to collect the data and why.
    If you develop your own questions, clearly explain what questions you would ask and what format the
    question(s) would be in (in other words, is it open-ended or close-ended? If close-ended, what response
    options would you have and why?)
    You should also provide some details about steps you would take to protect subjects’ confidentiality and wellbeing.
  5. Write a limitations section that demonstrates your awareness of the specific limitations that your research
    design has. These limitations could involve internal or external validity issues, ethical concerns, etc. Identify at
    least 3 limitations of the study you are proposing.
  6. Identify the costs and benefits associated with your proposed study. Explain why the benefits outweigh the
    costs such that the study is worth conducting.
