Paper must be APSA Style
Specific Requirements of Paper:
In partial fulfillment of the requirements for Research Methods in Political Science, the student will utilize one Pew survey dataset to write a research paper exhibiting communications skills that identify, assemble, and disseminate extant information relating to an approved research topic in Political Science. The research paper will exhibit proper data analyses of testable hypotheses in no more than 12 pages in length, and it will be organized by the following sections.
Section 1: Give an explicit problem statement.
Section 2: Excluding assigned class readings, summarize, cite and discuss at least five appropriate pieces of peer-reviewed scholarship through a review of the literature relevant to the research topic. Each cited reference shall be at least 15 pages in length.
Section 3: A research design is the plan that outlines and specifies how your research fulfills the goals of the study through your approach for testing your hypotheses. You are to specify and fully discuss whether yours is a classic quasi- or experimental design; nonexperimental design; simple comparison; or time series. Also identify your control group (if any) and discuss the survey instrumentation, especially its execution.
Section 4: Clearly define and operationalize concepts appropriate for the hypothesis tests and research question. Explicitly justify all variable recodes and their levels of measurement. Explicate how your recoding and analysis might be impacted by the “no responses” to particular survey questions.
Section 5: Formulate appropriate testable hypotheses with stated directions utilizing three variables (one dependent variable and two independent variables). Null hypotheses are to be identified by Ho, and alternative hypotheses by H1 or H2, etc.
Methods Data Paper 2
Only one variable may be a demographic variable.
Section 6: Present and discuss your data analysis in terms of hypotheses and findings within the body of the paper (not in an appendix). There are numerous elements in this section that are explained in the rubric, and everyone must present their own tabular results that are NOT cut and pasted from SPSS output. Do not use tables from other research or from Pew. At minimum, present the relevant and appropriate SPSS statistics that test your hypotheses.
Section 7: Provide a detailed discussion of the data analysis and its significance for politics. Speculate on your findings – is it likely due to operationalization, measurement, or other factors?
Section 8: Provide an alphabetized reference page in APSA format that includes datasources.
