Question

I am doing a research project, my topic is looking at how sleep, or lack of sleep affects ones weight. The prompt for the theory is below.

Identify the theory you will test with this hypothesis. Define it and explain a little bit about it (this requires citations). Then state specifically how this theory informs your hypothesis, and how you are testing this theory by testing your hypothesis. o If no named theory exists to inform your hypothesis, you have two other options, which were discussed in lecture: (1) a conceptual model that informs your hypothesis, or (2) ample, cited empirical evidence (previous studies) from the research literature that directly informs your hypothesis. Remember, these options should not be your first choice, but they can be acceptable if appropriate and written up well.

Can you recommend any theories that may apply?

Answer 1

The topic of research is good,

• For this concept the hypothesis can be related to the health issues of the patients
• some of the health problems like sleep diorder will provide discomfort to sensory organs, optical disturbance, psycological distress ,depression, and lowers the IQ level.

And the theories that can apply for this concept is Theoritical Framework.

This will help to design your concept together , which will help to understand the study more easily .

There are some points which will help to strengthen the study.

• To permit reader to evaluate.
• connects excisting knowledge.
• provides the base for the hypothesis.
• describes the concept and helps to generalize it.
• helps to specify the key varriable for the study.
