Mini-Research Proposal

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. Review the

Your clearly stated research question
Your hypothesis
An explanation as to why this topic of research is important/necessary

How many participants you will need
What participants will do to complete the study
What results you expect to find
