Let's see if we can apply some of this research stuffto our lives. For this post, check your original Introduction post,take one piece of personal information (e.g., favorite show,hobbies, current/future employment), and create a scientificprocedure by following the criteria/questions below:
1. What is your research question? For example, How doesexercising improve happiness, or how does exercising improves workefficiency. Pick something related to the examples.
2. Write your hypothesis. Here is where you are taking your\"educated guess\" at the relationship between the variables you areinterested in studying (e.g., profession + happiness).
3. Describe your dependent variable.
4. Describe your independent variable.
5. How will you measure your variables?
6. What would be any foreseeable limitations in your approach tostudy these variables?
7. Just based on a very unscientific approach, and out of my owncuriosity, what would you think you would find if this study reallydid occur?
