An APA Style Proposal on your Original Research Topic
The Key Components: Literature Review, Hypothesis, and References
The purpose of this paper assignment is to develop an original, testable research question and hypothesis (supported by a thorough literature review) pertaining to the topic of your choice. You will write a full APA-style Introduction Section that ultimately defines and justifies your proposed study and hypothesis, using a strong literature review. Your proposal should introduce your topic and illustrate why it is important and how it fills a gap. Keep your hypothesis focused, simple, and testable.
This assignment cannot be completed without performing a thorough literature review. After performing this review, you will choose at least 5 systematic sources from the APA Databases PsycINFO and PsycArticles that have most closely explored research related to your hypothesis. You will write a full APA-style proposal in line with APA standards using these sources, with an attached Reference section.
More Specific Paper Guidelines Pertaining to Key Components:
The proposal should follow the inverted triangle approach and tell a story; it starts broad and gets narrow, leading ultimately to your original hypothesis. Make sure your hypothesis is clear and logical given the literature presented.
Start with a general introduction to the overall theory and cite additional research regarding the topic of interest.
The beginning of the intro is broad, introducing issues being studied from a historical and conceptual point of view.
The focus is then narrowed as you address the relationship between previous studies and present research.
As the end of the introduction approaches, the focus narrows further still to the specific hypotheses being tested and the general methods used to test them.
The last section of the paper presents your study research question and hypothesis, and how your study will fill a gap in the literature you reviewed on the topic.
You must cite at least 5 peer-reviewed sources in this paper. Additionally, you need to include a Reference section with this paper that follows strict APA format.
