iscuss face validity, criterion-realated validity, construct validity and content validity (whichever is relevant for your study and concepts)

Write an essay on a research topic (you may see this as the initial brief draft of your research proposal’s first section) .There are virtually infinite options to study here. Be original, be authentic. In your essay/proposal; include1. A very brief introduction followed by the research question2. Hypotheses (these are important because your conceptual and operational definitions will be based on the concepts/constructs/variables stated in your hypotheses)3. Conceptual and operational definition of your research concepts (these will be the variables from your hypotheses.) (for example: low social cohesion leads to increase in street crime at the neighborhood level. if this is your hypothesis, then you need to provide conceptual AND operational definitions of social cohesion and street crime)4.Discuss how you will measure your variables and why your operational definiton is valid (Example: I operationalize social cohesion by measuring percent renters, percent single person household, income, and crime rates, and it is valid because……………………) Discuss face validity, criterion-realated validity, construct validity and content validity (whichever is relevant for your study and concepts)5.
