page requirement: 6-8  double-spaced pagesPlease follow attached document closely for subject matter, as this is the second half to a two-part paper (first half attached below)THIS ASSIGNMENT IS DUE IN 12 HRS!!!!!!!The goal of the research proposal is to get you thinking about how you would take a question about communication and answer it using research methodologies. You do NOT have to actually run the study for this class. Instead you’ll just be laying out a study, in all its required parts, to be potentially run in the future. This is a great exercise for future projects, such as your thesis or master’s project.The following represents the sections and sub-sections I expect to see in your proposal paper. The red text is provided as guidance only. Please feel free to expand or condense particular sections as your topic, research question/hypothesis, and particular approach dictate.***When completed, you merge this paper with the lit. review intoone major paper document.Major Paper, Part #2: Research Proposal Sections (put these subsections right into your paper, use the red for guidance, then remove as you complete!)ResearchQuestion/Hypothesis: Write at least one communication research question (RQ) or hypothesis (H) that meets that clearly illustrated the connection between two variables or the difference between two groups on one variable we’ve discussed throughout the semester.  Then include a paragraph rationale that explains why this RQ or H should be studied. The rationale should relate to what you learned in your literature review, and usually is one of four styles: extension (next logical question), “missing piece”, replication (with adjustment), or merging (mashing two theoretical perspectives on a topic together). There are others, but these are fairly common.MethodologyProvide a brief rationale for your methodological approach. Be sure to address: What method are you choosing? What are some important advantages and disadvantages to using the (survey, experimental, or interview/content analysis) method (in terms of acquiring valid data to address the RQ or test your H)? Use your handbook, class lecture notes, and the communication research literature you found to justify your choice.Participants.Describe the population that you are attempting to talk about with your study. How will you gather a sample for this population? How you will recruit them? How you will protect their rights (anonymous/confidential?) Depending on how the sample is gathered might limit its generalizability, what limits to generalizability might apply to your potential sample (i.e., choices about probability vs. nonprobability sampling)?Procedures (& Measures).Generally describe how you will collect data for this study. Remember you have three options for this class’ project:Survey:Usually a packet of questionnaires      (online through Surveymonkey/Qualtrics, or pen & paper) that list      questions or statements that require ratings of agreement, that ultimately      address your IV & DV.Interview & Content      Analysis: Develop a list of questions to ask      participants about, and then recruit another “coder” to help you interpret      the answers by amount and types.Experiment:Most common form would be to look at      your DV and say “Does the IV make a difference?” Have at least one group where you      include the IV, and one you don’t. If you make the two situations or groups of people similar, and      control (limit the influence of) outside factors, the IV should explain      any differences in the DV.If you choose to conduct a survey study, you will need to draft a questionnaire packet (on separate pages). With an interview & content analysis, you would need to compose interview questions that address the various aspects of your RQ + H. If you choose to do an experiment you must specify the design and step-by-step procedures. A good place to get inspiration for any of these is to look at how some of the studies you found for your literature review or assigned readings explain their data collection efforts.Analysis Strategy.For each RQ or H, briefly discuss how you would go about analyzing the data that you collected from your procedures & measures to address the RQ or test the H. Be as specific if you can on how you will analyze the data including specifying the appropriate statistical tests (e.g., t-test, chi-square, correlation, thematic analysis) you will use.Discussion (of Expected Results)The discussion section (in a proposal or conducted study) is meant to translate what the analysis results mean. Many authors elaborate on how the findings confirm or reject hypotheses, if a research questions has been answered, clarified, or needs refinement, and even what the findings suggest for great theory.Since you will be completing a proposal, this section will serve a few functions: 1) Think the project through: What might you expect to find? What would the implications be of those findings? What are other likely alternatives? What might that suggest? How does all of this inform the literature that you’ve collected in your literature review, and/or contribute to the major theory or theories that people studying your topic are hanging their hats on? What is the findings relevance in the big picture of the study of the phenomenon you are curious about?Limitations and Future DirectionsNo study is perfect: Researchers are choosing methodologies or perspectives that are not complete, studies must often be conducted within limited time frames with limited resources, and participants have their own complications regarding their contributions and perceptions. Most studies list at least three or four limitations, which often lead into directions that a future researcher could take (e.g., more participants, asking both partners). The best limitations have specific connection to the type of communication or relationships you are attempting to examine, or about specific methodological choices you decided on.ConclusionAny paper should have a final overview paragraph. What was your goal? What did you learn? What is a major take-away? What is the one point for heading into the future? While this is really a proposal, you can still summarize what the proposal is attempting to do, and its implications if carried out.
