You are the researchers. Design a study related to human development. In doing so, address the following:

1. What is your research problem or question?

Do children who chew gum while studying perform better or worse on exams ?

2. Are you seeking to establish cause and effect (an experimental design) or looking for a relationship between variables (a correlational design)?

An experimental design

3. What are your variables? Is there need to identify one as the independent variable and one as the dependent variable? If so, what are they? How are the variables operationally defined?

The independent variable would be students who will or will not chew gum while studying . The dependent variable will be the exam score .

4. What is your hypothesis?

Students who chew gum while studying are more likely to preform better on their exams

5. What major developmental design are you using? Note whether you are incorporating longitudinal, cross-sectional, cross-sequential, or cross-cultural methods.

6. Who are your population? How did you draw your sample? Will you have an experimental and control group? If so, how are subjects assigned to each group?

My population will be high school students . The experimental group will be students who will chew gum while studying and the control group will be students who will not chew gum while stuyding for the exam .

7. What data gathering strategies and/or "treatment" will you use?

8. Describe, diagram, or explain your research procedure.

describe

9. What do you think your results will be?

I believe that students who chew gum while studying for an exam will more likely do better on it .

10. How will you minimize bias in your study?
