The research interest is loneliness Loneliness and .....Does c affect loneliness or does loneliness affect x?

For your preliminary research topic, answer the following questions in a paragraph or two for interests, and then a paragraph or two for research topic. This step can lay the foundation for your background and introduction section. The more effort early on to write professionally and have this fleshed out, the less work down the line you will have to do. What is your research interest? Describe at least a couple research topics that interest you. What aspect of your interest requires further analysis? What are the different intersections of variables you are interested in. Again, provide some background that you have found (peer-reviewed). These will probably need to be refined over several submissions. (this should be at least a paragraph). What are some questions you are considering and, if you had to guess, what are some hypotheses you have (these are considered preliminary until we have the above settled). These can be listed as bullet points. Typically, introductions have paragraphs that more or less spell out "The goal of this study was to determine/establish/identify X, Y, and Z." and then "We hypothesized A. We also hypothesized B."
