Question

A) Do municipalities with fewer per capita single-parent households have lower unemployment rates?

B) Is there a difference in student knowledge obtained via online versus traditional courses?

C) Does a high frequency of social media exposure increase the likelihood of depression?

1) Identify the UoA for each RQ. [3]

2) Identify the IV and DV for each RQ. [6]

3) Determine the correct method of measuring the IV and DV for each RQ using existing data, experimentation, or survey research. [26]. This method should be developed comprehensively – i.e., existing data sources are found and conveyed step-by-step with screen shots similar to the media lecture; all aspects of the experimental process are outlined specifically; and/or survey questions and option choices provided and stipulation as to which questions are meant to measure the IV and DV.
