Each student will write a paper of 6 pages minimum length, double-spaced. The paper must include the following essential ingredients: a) a theoretical argument describing how one or more variables should be related, b) one or more testable hypotheses speci-fying how those variables are related, c) a description of the data to be used to test the hypotheses, including descriptions of how the variables are conceptualized, operationalized, and measured, and why the chosen measures are appropriate (if the data is not yet collected, discuss how one might go about collecting the data), and d) a discussion of the statistical test that would be most appropriate when analyzing the data. more instructions are provided in an attachment below.
