Think of your Introduction as the foundation and justification for your study. After reading your Introduction, a reader should have a sense of what has been done previously in this area of research and why your study is important within this context. Ideally, an Introduction guides a reader to the hypothesis of a study.

Address the following in your Introduction:

• Provide a history of the situation you are studying (review and cite relevant literature sources).
• Present the logic and reasoning of your research design.
• Explain the feasibility of your research plan.
• Describe the impact of your study on your participants.
• Provide a clear statement of your hypothesis/prediction.

You are also required to include a minimum of three current journal articles (published within the last 10 years) in your Introduction that support your statements.
