Develop a basic research question addressing the gap
Complete each section of the Research Design Worksheet ( attached ) based on the research gap you identified. You will use this worksheet to inform the Research Design section of your final project submission. The following elements must be addressed as outlined in the worksheet and the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric document:
A. Identify a gap in the developmental psychology research presented in your chosen track.
B. Develop a basic research question addressing the identified gap.
C. Determine an appropriate research design that addresses your research question regarding developmental psychology, and explain why it was chosen.
D. Explain how you will account for issues of ethics associated with your proposed research design. E. Explain how your approach to accounting for issues of ethics was informed by your review of the research presented in your chosen trackPSY 211 Research

Citation of Literature
[Include the citation(s) of the reviewed resources in APA format.]
Gap Identification
[Identify a gap in the developmental psychology research presented in your chosen track. For this exercise, you will only need to focus on the articles included in this course. You are not responsible for more recent developments in the field.]
Research Question
[Develop a basic research question addressing the identified gap]
Research Design
[Some Questions to consider:
• Will you conduct descriptive research, correlational research, or experimental research, and why did you make that choice?
• If relevant, what are your independent and dependent variables?
• How will you choose your study population? If relevant, how will you assign participants to experimental and control groups?
• How long will your study last?
• What types of bias might affect your study, and how will you address that?]
Issues of Ethics
[Explain how you will account for issues of ethics associated with your proposed research design.]
