Essay Instructions: Variables, Hypotheses, and Relations

This week's assignment will assist you in starting the Final Project. Ensuing work on the Final Project will be done as written assignments submitted to the Instructor for evaluation.

To prepare for this assignment:

?
? Review the Final Project Description document, located in the Learning Resources.
? Select an empirical research problem to focus on for this assignment and, in turn, for the Final Project.
? Identify the units of analysis. How can you support that these are reasonable items to compare? How can you avoid the ecological and individualistic fallacies with respect to units of analysis?
? Determine two researchable hypotheses for the research problem you have selected and the independent, dependent, and control variables for each hypothesis.
? What changes in magnitude and relations do you expect between the dependent and independent variables for each hypothesis?

With these thoughts in mind write 2 or 3 paragraphs in which you do the following:

?
? Identify your selected empirical research problem and the units of analysis. Include support for these units as being reasonable for comparison and how you would avoid the ecological and individualistic fallacies.
? Determine two researchable hypotheses based on your research problem. For each hypothesis, identify the independent, dependent, and control variables. Moreover, estimate expected changes in the magnitude and relations between the dependent and independent variables.
**The research will be on Human Trafficking.

Essay Instructions: Write a paper of no more than 350 words after completing Exercise 19-17 in WileyPLUS in which you respond to the following questions:
? In this case, would it be better to use the variable or absorption costing method, and why?
? What are the benefits of the two methods?
? Which method would lead to the best decision when a competitor is submitting a lower bid for your product?

PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS.


Explore the GSS codebook/website further to determine what topics may be of interest to YOU. Please type out responses to the following questions below.

1. Using the GSS codebook or GSS variable search as a reference (http://www3.norc.org/GSS+Website/Browse+GSS+Variables/Subject+Index/), please list 5 potential topics YOU would like to explore for the research project (i.e. what would you like your dependent variable to be? What about your independent variable?)



2. Operationalize the topics by FINDING variables in the GSS. LIST 5 INDEPENDENT VARIABLES and 5 DEPENDENT VARIABLES that could work for the topics YOU selected
3. Give THE VARIABLE NAME (i.e. AMFEEL), and a SHORT DESCRIPTION (i.e. How important the R thinks it is to “feel American.”) FOR EACH variable.

INDEPENDENT VARIABLE DEPENDENT VARIABLE

5.


**Note: Think about putting the topics in terms of attitudes/beliefs or behaviors. Some GSS questions ONLY ask about attitudes/beliefs, and not about behaviors. Be sure to notice this as you’re searching through the variables.

4. Provide 5 HYPOTHESES/PREDICTIONS based on the topic you have selected and the INDEPENDENT VARIABLES and DEPENDENT VARIABLES you are using to address the topic (i.e. if your topic is the relationship between religiosity (DV) and education level (IV) your prediction might be: the more education one has the less religious they become).
