Introduction and Purpose

1. Write an introduction to your proposal (but do not label it “Introduction”). The introduction will briefly state the topic, purpose, and
significance of your study in one to three paragraphs (try to get your first paragraph to “hook” the reader with an interesting statistic, a
compelling story, etc.).
2. Define the IV and DV.
3. State how you will “test” the influence of the IV on the DV.
4. Propose at least one hypothesis (or at least one research question).
5. Summarize any literature you used to develop your research proposition (cite at least two sources) in a section entitled
Literature Review
6. Your first proposal assignment must have a title page but no Table of Contents or an Abstract.
7. Please see attached references to use for research to remain consistent with the rest of the research paper
