Assignment: Defining Concepts

-List your independent and dependent variables (these are two important concepts in your study). Develop a definition for each concept.

When defining concepts we often use a definition found in prior academic literature, or we develop our own definition based on multiple works of academic literature. You may want to refer to some of the articles you read for Course Project pt. 2 to help you define your concepts. If you use other works to define your concepts, make sure to take note of that here and cite those works in your final paper.

discuss how you are conceptualizing your main variables and come to an agreed definition for each concept.

Submit the definitions of your key concepts (IV & DV) along with any notes on articles you used to inform your definitions (reference to citations can be informal; i.e. this definition is from Daniels et al. 2020 or a hyperlink to the article) to receive credit for this mini-assignment.
