Assignment Task

Major research project 
This is an individual  pigigayou complete on  your own.  This consists of .research plan. which requires you to outline how you intend to complete the project, and a final paper due at the beginning of the exam period. These assessments a designed to track your competence in the core skills developed in this unit, and provide you with the opportunity to apply them on practical research tasks.

You have a choice of four questions to answer: 
1.Did Australian attitudes towards towards climate change shift before and after the 2019 fires? 
2.What factors explain support for gun control in the United States? Use the provided survey data. as well as other sources of information you can obtain, to establish a theory of support or opposition to gun control and an explanatory model. 
3.What are the predictors for better health outcomes at the county level in the United States? Use a combination of the data provided and data from other sources to establish a theory of ecological health outcomes and an explanatory model. 
4.What explains domestic violence rates in NSW local government areas? Use a combination of the data sources provided. to establish a theory of ecological crime rates and an explanatory model. 

Research Plan
General comments In the Research Plan you need to set out a hypothesis / working theory you plan to test based on the dataset you are looking at, the literature that informs it, and then outline the methodology you intend to use to test the hypothesis. What we are looking for in this ?rst stage is for you to show that you have thought about the question, the data you are using, and the approach you are going to take. The questions are deliberately broad to allow you freedom to explore aspects of the datasets that interest you. The suggestions below are only a guide – while we suggest you generally follow the basic structure, remember this is your paper and you can tailor it to what you want to present. Make sure it covers the key elements, is written clearly and is formatted logically so that your reader grasps your meaning.

Introduction
Outline the question you are answering and your hypothesis here. Provide a succinct summary of your approach and rationale. It is helpful to state upfront what your theory is and why you think this. A targeted introduction to the topic can help frame the paper for the reader.

Literature and theory
 Outlineyourliteratureandtheoryhere.literature or popular/non-academic literature (you should include at least some academic literature). By theory what we mean here is your understanding about the causal mechanisms underlying the problem you are studying. This does not need to be some grand or formal theory, but we want you to show that you have thought about how the problem works and what might be driving it. For instance, if you were studying ways to predict recidivism in o?enders charged with a crime but released on bail, you would outline the major factors you expect to be causally associated with re-o?ending, and the rationale behind your belief that these associations exist. You may also want to outline hypotheses about how the phenomenon works. This helps explain your answer to the question and your variable selected in the next section. This is where your literature review comes in. You should provide evidence to support the assumptions and claims in your theory and hypotheses. While we will look to (dis)approve our ideas with data later, we need to also both provide some support for them with the literature, and also explain what research others have done in this area and how it informs our own study. Here you should explain what have you read, whether you agree with it or are you going to try and disprove some current ideas on the problem. This also helps explain your variable selection. For example, if you havechosen certain variables as predictors, you can cite literature that supports this (and/or discuss counterarguments). Remember, be succinct and focus on the key points. You will have the opportunity to build on this section in your ?nal paper.
