Craft an original research hypothesis that will prove or disprove your research question approved in Week 1. This will be the focus of your research for the Capstone Research Project. You must clearly state your hypothesis in a standalone statement. You must further discuss the hypothesis and reasoning for the hypothesis in a follow-on paragraph. Be sure to address how the hypothesis is related to your research question. Then, for your selected research hypothesis, identify three research variables which you believe will answer, confirm, or refute your research hypothesis and answer your research question. Each of these research variables should be listed in a standalone statement (i.e., Research Variable #1: XXXXX). Be sure to determine if they are independent or dependent variables. Explain how your research variable relates to your hypothesis. Identify how each of the three research variables will be measured in order to confirm or deny your research hypothesis. In the second part of your paper provide an annotated bibliography that accurately describes your literature review for the Capstone Research Project. Identify five of the eight required resources (scholarly, government, or professional resources), that you will use to research and evaluate your research variables and utilize to confirm or deny your research hypothesis. The Literature Review and Variables paper • Must be two to three double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style. • Must include a separate title page with the following: o Title of paper o Student’s name o Course name and number o Instructor’s name o Date submitted • Must use at least five scholarly sources in addition to the course text. o The table offers additional guidance on appropriate source types. If you have questions about whether a specific source is appropriate for this assignment, please contact your instructor. Your instructor has the final say about the appropriateness of a specific source for a particular assignment. • Must document all sources in APA style . • Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style. This should be in an outline format. • Title Page (In APA Format) • Approved Research Question: • Hypothesis you selected: (This is a standalone statement.) o Research Variable 1: ? Explanation ? How will the variable be measured o Research Variable 2: ? Explanation ? How will the variable be measured o Research Variable 3: ? Explanation ? How will the variable be measured o Annotated Bibliography ? Eight Sources ? Provide APA Citation ? Describe how you will use each source o You do not need to include a Reference Page as long as you complete the Annotated Bibliography and your references are in APA format.
