Paper details
Design a unique experiment to help us understand the possible connection between variables. For
example, if I was interested in exploring the relationship between number of hours a student slept the night
before an exam (Independent Variable) and their test performance (Dependent Variable), I would ask
participants how many hours they slept before the exam and their subsequent test grade.
Once you provide your area of research interest, provide the following information:
1-Is your experiment quantitative or qualitative and explain why.
2-List the Independent and Dependent variables.
3-List the Predictor and Criterion variables.
4-Discuss the correlation you would like to see by providing a correlation coefficient and whether the
correlation you expect is positive or negative.
5-Discuss the two types of research methods (i.e. primary versus secondary) and which would be most
appropriate to use in the experiment you designed
