Hi! I have this Research Term paper due tonight and I have been stuck on it for hours now. I have horrible ADHD and I am really struggling with beginning this paper. I am BEGGING you for help I really cannot stop having panic attacks about this assignment. There is also a sample paper with instructions, and my given research question is: Does age affect how well people remember advertisements?

I had a panic attack trying to write this earlier and I am scared I won't get it in on time. I feel so stupid and really need some guidance. There is no ACTUAL data being collected for this paper, and it is relatively short with word limits at the end of each section. I need help desperately, I think maybe I could use a T-Test for this research question but I do not know how to go about that at all. I am so sorry that this is such a long question, I am struggling a lot. Please please help me. Thank you so much and I attached the paper instructions below. I am so lost.

Communication 228 Research Design Paper I will provide you with a research question that you will use to write a short research report. (Note, you MUST use the question I provide. Failure to use the provided question will result in a grade of 0 for the paper.) Using the skills you have learned from class you should identify an effective method for answering the research question (e.go, an experiment or a survey). You should then describe the specific fashion in which you would design a study to answer the research question, including conceptual and operational definitions of the variables, the subject population, the procedures you would follow, and the statistical test you would use. Keep the paper focused on the specific question - do not get distracted by related issues that are not specifically a part of the assigned question (e.g., whether there are gender differences when the research question does not specifically mention them). The paper MUST be arranged in the following fashion with the headings specified (i.e., method, sampling, key variables, analysis): Your Name Your assigned research question (re-type it on assignment-remember, it must match the one you were assigned) Write the RESEARCH (i.e., alternative) hypothesis, which should be directional (DO NOT WRITE THE NULL! Section 1: METHOD: Explain which method you would use to examine the question (an experiment or a survey), and why that method is most appropriate for the specific question. Your explanation should specify the advantages of using the method you choose over others, and/or specific constraints (e.g., feasibility) that compel you to use one method instead of another. Consider the ethical implications of your research. Acknowledge any limitations. Max: 300 words. For all topics, your method choice should be either on experiment or a survey. As I've discussed in class, there are many ways one might legitimately design a study for a given topic-the point is for you to justify your choice. Note that under no circumstances should you propose a content/interaction analysis or some version of a qualitative study!Section 2: SAMPLING: Explain your sampling procedure, including who will be in the sample, where your participants will come from, how many participants will be included, and how they will be selected. Define the population of interest (e.g., all people in the United States of a specific age or characteristic) and identify the specific sample type (e.g., a convenience sample of University of Arizona undergraduates). Explain why the sample is appropriate (e.g., is it representative of the population to which you want to generalize?) and what constraints make it less than perfect. Acknowledge limitations in the sample. Max: 200 words. Section 3: KEY VARIABLES: Say explicitly which variables are being examined-each student's research question contains two variables (independent and dependent) so you must describe both in this section. Provide conceptual and operational definitions of each (and you can find these explained in Chapter 4 of your text) and why you think the variables should be related in the manner stated in your hypothesis. These definitions should be clear and explicit. Providing materials like an exact replica of questionnaire items or experimental stimuli will be rewarded (e.g., describe the specifics of experimental stimuli, and so on, if applicable). You are encouraged to do some research to find out if others have already measured your variable, and you may use an existing measure in your paper if it fits your research question and hypothesis. Materials like questionnaire items are additional to this word limit and should be included as an Appendix (labeled and referred to in your narrative, e.g., "See Appendix A"). Your goal is to help the reader understand exactly how you generate NUMBERS in order to do the statistical analysis. Max: 400 words. Section 4: ANALYSIS: Describe which statistical test(s) would be used, and provide example data (e.g., means, correlations, a graph, a table, etc.) that reflect your expectation of what you would find assuming you reject the null hypothesis It is not necessary to show complete calculations with fake raw data-the goal here is to demonstrate your understanding of what the data would look like, how the data would be analyzed, and what the analysis might show in order to reject the null hypothesis. For example, if your hypothesis were "Communicationundergraduates have higher intelligence than sociology undergraduates, * you would provide two means on the scale of the intelligence variable identified in the previous section (with a higher mean for the communication undergrads), confidence interval, degrees of freedom, and so on. Again, you do not need to supply fake raw data (i.e., scores for each fictional person in your study). Max 200 words (plus possibly graphs/tables of numbers). TO REITERATE: YOU WILL NOT COLLECT ACTUAL DATA FOR THIS PAPER! AND I REALLY DON'T LIKE ALL CAPS BECAUSE THEY ARE PAINFUL TO THE EYE, BUT IT SEEMS WARRANTED HERE
