You might theorize that how people cope with conflict is influenced by their physical state. You generate the hypothesis that hungry people will be more likely to engage in conflict than people who aren't hungry.

Describe a survey approach to test this hypothesis. Be creative - think about ways that you could use self-report to gather information about how hungry someone is and how they cope with conflict or intentions or attitudes towards conflict. Be sure to operationally define both your Predictor Variable and your Outcome Variable. Give enough detail to convey your research method. Be sure that you are specifying the comparison that could be made to test this hypothesis.

You may assume that you have unlimited resources (time, money, research assistants) but must follow laws of nature and may not invent random machines (no time travel, no jabbing thermometers into people's foreheads to measure their inner experiences).

Evaluate your proposal. Is survey an appropriate way to measure your variables? What are the strengths and weaknesses of using survey to test this hypothesis? If you violate ethical issues, please indicate that you are aware that you are doing so.
