2. INTRODUCTION

Background on topic and purpose of study. Rationale.

3. LITERATURE REVIEW
A literature review is not simply describing what a study did in list form (THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE), but what the results of each study were and logically and with careful writing weaving together similar articles that encompass the specific topic. Students are expected to find 15 journal articles from the library and use them in the literature review.
describe how other research relates to your topic
develop research questions – these go at the end of your literature review
Students will need to cite the articles in APA (American Psychological Association) style within the literature review. ALL articles MUST be cited.

4. RESEARCH QUESTIONS OR HYPOTHESES

Examples of research questions:
How do men differ in their nonverbal immediacy behaviors than women during implicit disclosures?
What is the relationship between gender and the experience, expression, and goals of romantic jealousy?
Example of hypothesis. (Hypotheses are predictive in nature.)
Men will avoid more topics related to sexual experiences than women.
Parents will unconsciously provide more overall affection to their daughters during the teenage years than to their sons.

5. METHOD

Participants (Who did you study? Number of women and men, percent of ethnic background, mean, standard deviation and range, etc.)
Procedures (What method would you use to collect your data.)

6. RESULTS

present results in terms of addressing the research questions
include relevant frequencies, mean, and tables where relevant

7. DISCUSSION

discuss how findings relate to a theory, other research, and the big picture
briefly discuss limitations of the study (briefly)
discuss future research possibilities

8. REFERENCES (Not included in the length of the paper.)

Students MUST provide a type written bibliography or list of references that they used in their research proposal. Again, students MUST use between 10-15 journal articles. conduct a study using an open-ended survey that explores the communication “social order” of a specific relational interaction
