Method:

Sample (what entity [unit or participant] was studied. For example you may have compare 10 private sector companies to 10 government organizations or the entity can be 200 women and men college students).

Measurement and procedures of the study (how do you propose the data to be collected?)Operational Definitions of measurements

Validity (accuracy)

Reliability (consistency – was success measured the same way across programs)

Design and Analysis: (what kind of research design will you do and how to you propose to analyze the data after it is collected

Explanation / Answer

Note: This response is in UK English, please paste the response to MS Word and you should be able to spot discrepancies easily. You may elaborate the answer based on personal views or your classwork if necessary.

(Answer) Hypothesis – The internet has caused children of this generation to have a short attention span because of a précis representation of glossy information and entertainment.

Methodology – Correlation. Previously, if a prominent public figure would be involved in a scandal, a person would have to read about it in a news article. This article would be about 300 words long on an average and probably explained well, the details of the situation. This left little chance for misinformation, assumptions and even resolutely taking sides without considering the nuanced details of a situation. However, in this fast-paced age, heavy information has been reduced to 140 characters, Soundbites on YouTube and a list on buzzfeed. This has led to the generation being reduced to reading catchy and click-bait headlines without worrying about gathering the details of a situation.

Sample – The immediate classroom

Method – Survey (questions that ask students their news source, time spent to read about an incident, do they take sides based only on news reports or do they reflect on the individual’s behaviour, campaign promise fulfillment, reasoning etc.)

Validity – Likert scale analysis and well designed specific questions might allow to best convert qualitative information into quantitative information.

Reliability – Confounding variable. It could be that in an age where information is easily reported and where there is so much information, there is a competition to be heard. This has led to the new generation having its own rendition of “yellow journalism.” This is as we know ostensible intellect at best.

Design and Analysis – Score the answers of the “most likely, likely, may be, unlikely and very unlikely” questions. Collect the scores and use a correlation coefficient to determine the relationship between the independent variable of social media and the dependent variable of the adolescent attention span.
