Week 7: Research Proposal Integration Aligning RQ, Conditions, Stimuli, and Evidence

Opening Questions

  • Does each study condition produce the kind of evidence our research question needs?
  • Where are the remaining gaps in the logic connecting our question, variables, and stimuli?
  • How can we communicate the entire proposal as one coherent argument?

Learning Goal

Integrate the research question, variables, comparison conditions, stimuli, and expected evidence into one coherent and traceable research proposal.
