In this activity, you will submit the following elements, resulting in a set of hypotheses.
- State your Research Topic, Objective/Purpose, and Research Question(s).
- List and label the variables, including independent, dependent, intervening, or moderating.
- Explain the relationships among the variables.
- Describe the purpose of operationalizing variables.
- Describe how you would operationalize the variables in your research question(s). You can mention more than one possible option for these, as there can be different ways of operationalizing the same variables.
- Develop a set of hypotheses (null and alternative) from your identified variables that address your identified research question(s).
- State your Research Topic, Objective/Purpose, and Research Question(s).
Research Topic: Does it pay for a military pilot to leave the service for the airlines.
Research Question: Is it worth leaving the military as a pilot to become a commercial airline pilot.
Variables:
Independent- Augmented which has better stability.
Dependent- Job security.
Intervening- One may have better benefits, but the other has better pay.
Explain the relationships among the variables.
The dependent variable is studied as a result of two independent variables by examining the intervening variables.
What is the purpose of operationalizing variables?
The purpose of operational variables is to make them measurable. For example, quality of life variables can be put into a scale for compare and contrast.
How would you operationalize the variables in your research question(s)? You can mention more than one possible option for these, as there can be different ways of operationalizing the same variables.
Operationalizing variable such as benefits will be necessary as it is objective. However, many of the quality of life variables are more subjective.
Does the pilot who retires from the military have the same pay and quality of life as the pilot who left for the airline after the initial contract was up? The pilot who retires from the military and begins to work for the airlines will have better stability than the pilot who left the military after a couple of years.
