10 Unique Research Questions
This written assignment is based on the work conducted in the “Research Question Brainstorm” discussion forum. Based on this initial work, feedback received, and additional research, you should submit a final version of at least 10 unique research questions. You are encouraged to use a wide range of variables, in terms of number and types, and to make sure the questions cover a range of focus, such as exploring relationships between variables, making predictions for one variable using one or more other variables, and determining differences between groups across one or two variables.

For each of the 10 questions, provide the following:

List the research question
Identify the variables presented in the question
Provide an operational definition for each variable
Describe each variable’s scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio) and characteristics (i.e., discrete vs. continuous, numerical vs. categorical, etc.)
The paper should be from 700 to 1000 words and APA formatted but can include listings, though full sentences should be used within these listings. Be sure to appropriately identify each component for each question. Students should submit their paper to the Dropbox by Day 7.
