How would you examine your research question from a quantitative perspective? Take the broad research question that you developed in Module 1 and answer the following questions:

  1. What quantitative research method have you decided to use and why?
  2. What is your hypothesis for this study?
  3. Identify the dependent and independent variables of your study.
  4. How will you collect your data for this study?
  5. What is your unit of analysis for this study?
  6. What time dimension will use for your study?  Will it be a cross-sectional study or a longitudinal study?  If your study is longitudinal, will it be a trend study, a cohort study or a panel study?
  7. What method will you use to select your sample?
Make sure that you include the title of your study in your heading.
