Question

Part I: Research question/hypothesis A. State the research question or hypothesis motivating the proposed study Are homeless children the innocent victims in an economic downturn? B. Is the proposed study correlational or causal? This is a correlational study. C. State the variables that will be assessed as well as their hypothesized relationship. If the study is causal, specify which variables are dependent and which are independent. Homeless children and economic downturn. D. State any other key constructs which will be controlled during the study and explain how you would control these factors. Location/neighborhood where they live. Part Il: Operationalization and data collection For each of the variables listed in Part I, state your operationalization(s) as well as the data (such as measures or coded observations) you intend to collect. The social research would be operationalizations in numerical values. The data would be the number or persons that are employed, and their income.

Answer 1

Part 1:

Research Question: Are the homeless children the victims of any economic downturn...

Hypothesis:

Null: Yes, they are

Alternate: No, they are not

Other parts are already answered in the question and it is correct...

Part 2:

Here we will make a sample of more than 30 and then collect the information like their annual income and their status of employment.

Later on, Anova can be applied in order to see whether the economic condition of the homeless has any significant difference to that of the other category.

Correlation analysis can also be done in order to observe whether there is a relationship between the annual income and the number of person employed.
