SOC 308 HSB Effect of Incarceration on The Parent Child Relationship Research

write a thesis for a research paper ,

This would be the hypothesis that I would try and prove.

Watching too much tv is the independent variable and lower grades is the dependent variable. The Independent affects the dependent, and dependent goes up or down.

Below is a sample of an outline that you may want to use to structure your research
paper. Creating an outline before your start your paper will guide you inn your
research for references. Revising your outline while you develop your paper will help
you to stay focused and address all the aspects of your topic/research question.
Your outline can be as detailed as you need it to be. The one below presents the
information in an organized manner so that the author can begin to develop the
paper with a clear direction. A great way to organize the information found in the
references is to use the same numbering/lettering on both the outline and the
reference itself. For instance, I can mark all the information related to the emotional
impact, specifically separation anxiety, with a 1A so that when I go to write that
section of the paper, I just look for all the 1A’s to easily locate all that information.
