When evaluating research it is important to consider gaps that exist in the current knowledge base. Reflecting on the research that you did for your Annotated Bibliography last week think of an area in the research that seems to be lacking or in which there is a controversy. You will do this by first coming up with an appropriate applied social psychology research question. Watch theDeveloping a Research Questionvideo which explains how to formulate a research question and provides examples of research questions. Then you will create a short presentation (either a screencast or PowerPoint recording) in which you will propose your idea for a study or an experiment to try and answer your research question.Your research proposal presentation must include the following:
Guided Response:Review several of your colleagues posts and respond to at least two of your peers. In your responses ask your fellow classmates some follow-up questions or provide suggestions. You may want to ask your classmates to clarify some things identify some potential issues they may want to consider and provide them with some suggestions for the study. Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. MST on Day 7 of the week and respond to anyone who replies to your initial post.
Carefully review theDiscussion Forum Grading Rubricfor the criteria that will be used to evaluate this Discussion Thread.
