Use a worksheet to develop and formalize your formal research hypothesis. A hypothesis is a clear statement that defines the independent and dependent variables in easy-to-measure terms and the relationship between them. A good hypothesis is grounded in theory and research and is falsifiable (that is to say, testable). Reviewing Chapters 2 and 3 will be helpful for this assignment and your upcoming midterm.

Directions
Refer back to Chapter 2 for how to critically read research
articles. In this assignment, you will begin to review the articles
you found last week and provide a summary of two articles that
are useful for your emerging research idea. The articles must be
research studies where data was collected. Theory pieces are
fine for your paper, but not for this assignment.

8. 1. Please use this worksheet to help you organize your
summaries.
2. Please provide all four articles as attached PDFs.
Please note, that while you are only required to submit
summaries of four articles, you are responsible for having read
at least 10 empirical resources that will be cited in your final
research proposal. You may use this worksheet template for
other articles to help you get your ideas organized.
