Question
In 1,250-1,500 words, write a research proposal. • Create a research question in the field of psychology that you are interested in researching. Write questions clearly. Include a brief background of the problem you are proposing and why it is important to the field of psychology. • State the null and alternative hypothesis (in both words and statistical notation) need to address the research question. • Choose which statistical test would be used to conduct the study and support it with research. Describe the type of data needs to be collected to conduct the study and what techniques are best for collecting data.
Explanation / Answer
The research question I propose is as follows:
Is Technology making children emotionless?
.
The reason why this question is important: because today we cna observe that technology is easily accessible to small kids. By the time they are of the age 7 to 8 , they are masters in handling cellphones and laptops and excessively get involved in it. This increasing trend of technology oriented kids results in less social kids , and it is observed that the human qualitites seem to be less developed in such kids. That is the reason why it is important to research on this aspect of children. So that proper course of action can be taken to ensure that kids grow in a perfect manner.
.
The hypothesis are as follows:
Null hypothesis: Emotions in kids are not influenced by technology
Alternate hypothesis: Emotions in kids are influenced by technology
.
An experimental study can be conducted in which two groups can be formed. Each group may consist of some children of a particular age group. They are observed for a period of time and in the end the emotional quotient of all the kids is measured. Then a 2 sample T test can be run to check if the Emotional quotient of the control group is less than the Placebo group.
