Questions and Hypotheses

Pick two topics you are interested in and use the library resources or Google Scholar to find two peer-reviewed journal articles that examine each of the two topics (four articles total).

3. Pose one question and a hypothesis related to each of the topics you are interested in and provide APA citations and references for the four articles you found. Identify what the independent and dependent variables are in your hypothesis. Also, identify the direction of the association (e.g., positive or negative) and what the direction of association means concerning your variables (e.g., a positive association between deviant peers and crime means that as you have more deviant peers, you commit more crime) as outlined in your hypothesis. Briefly describe the findings of the four articles (2 or 3 sentences). In addition, discuss whether the articles test your research questions and hypothesis, and whether the articles support your hypothesis. If they do not test your research question, discuss how they are related to your research question. Your post should be between 400 wordcount
