Gap Identification

[Identify a gap in the developmental psychology research presented in your chosen track. For this exercise, you will only need to focus on the articles included in this course. You are not responsible for more recent developments in the field.]

Research Question

[Develop a basic research question addressing the identified gap]

Research Design

[Some Questions to consider:

• Will you conduct descriptive research, correlational research, or experimental research, and why did you make that choice?

• If relevant, what are your independent and dependent variables?

• How will you choose your study population? If relevant, how will you assign participants to experimental and control groups?

• How long will your study last?

• What types of bias might affect your study, and how will you address that?]

Issues of Ethics

[Explain how you will account for issues of ethics associated with your proposed research design.]
