You are working as a methodologist and have been tasked with designing the methods section for a research study. You will do an in-depth dive into the design elements of each part of the methods section through your weekly assignments. It is important that you check instructor feedback weekly and make revisions before submitting the final project. It is also important to understand that you are not collecting data for this project. If you use your research question and hypothesis from Introduction to Experimental Psychology, you will have a complete research proposal that can serve as a fantastic template for the future.

If you have not taken Introduction to Experimental Psychology yet, choose one of the three research topics below and report the research question and the hypothesis.
