PSY 495 Research Proposal

PSY 495 Research Proposal

Present an introduction to your paper. This should provide a general overview of your proposed study topic supported by the research you have reviewed. Include support that indi-cates that further research is necessary and your problem statement. This paragraph should not only introduce the reader to your topic but also clearly demonstrate a gap in the research – a need for further research. It should clearly outline the purpose of the proposed study.

Literature Review

Introduce this section of your paper by providing a brief paragraph that states the purpose of this section – to review the existing literature and present background information that sup-ports the proposed study. Conduct a thorough literature review to substantiate the rationale for your study. Identify and discuss key theories, concepts, and studies relevant to your research question. Develop a theoretical framework or conceptual model that underpins your research, en-suring alignment with your research objectives.
