Develop a research question and hypothesis.

Develop a research question and hypothesis. Your question and hypothesis

should be based on a topic of interest (e.g., adolescent male behavior). 

you will develop a theoretical framework in which to focus your observations.

you can do this by linking together aspects of different theories you have read about or

perhaps you like the work of one theorist such as Bronfenbrenner or Piaget. It is crucial that

your research question and hypothesis are grounded in theory!
