Relationship between childhood adversity and Alzheimer disease
writing a research proposal meant to address a hole in the scientific literature. That is, you will be proposing a study and/or experiment to fill a gap in the psychological literature. This is a research proposal only, so no data will be collected and no statistical analyses will be run. See the rubric below for a point breakdown for what is expected in each section.
Introduction:
Topic sentence/paragraph (Introduce all variables, reader should know what paper is about by the end)
Literature overview (give a broad understanding of the current research on your current topic)
Logic/background (logic builds to the hypothesis, convinces the reader the hypothesis should be studied)
Hypothesis/summary (hypothesis is clearly stated along with brief summary of logic)
Methods:
Participants (How many, how they will be recruited, basic information about them)
Materials (Include everything needed to replicate the study.)
Procedure (What did the experimenters do? What did the participants do?)
Discussion:
Summary (brief summary of the proposed study)
Evaluation (generalizability, potential confounds and limitations)
Future directions (answers your proposed limitations)
