II. Next, make sure you include the following essential information that pertains to the Method elements:

· Reiterate your research question. What is the purpose of your hypothetical study?

· Determine an appropriate research design that addresses your research question regarding your chosen topic and explain why this design was chosen.What will your dependent (DV) and independent (IV) variables be for this study?

· For your Participants section describe the following:

§ To find surveys, go to PsychTESTS

Explain what the measure’s purpose is and what it studies

Explain what type of measure it is (self-report, therapist, rating, teacher rating, parent rating, etc.) and explain why you consider it appropriate for your research study

Describe how many items the measure has and any subscales it might include

How/when will this measure be used and why (e.g. at the beginning of the study (pre-test), at the end of the study (post-test), etc.)
