Original title 1. Research question: ______________? 2. Research
design: (MSS or MDS: select and state the design used below here)
[Insert the initial table here – only include the initial two
cases] Make sure to fill in entire research design table with SIX
or more control variables (excluding independent and dependent
variables) 3. Hypothesis: ___________________ (as a written
sentence) ___________________ (as an arrow diagram: X à Y) 4.
Justify variable and case selection in research design (three or
more paragraphs). 5. First hypothesis test: _______________
(comparative checking or within-case comparison: select and state
the test that you will apply in steps 6-7.) 6. Explain application
of hypothesis test to research design (one paragraph). 7. Explain
hypothesis test results and how they affect initial hypothesis (one
paragraph). 8. Initial theory: _________________ (one written
sentence) 9. Explain initial theory (i.e. its causal logic: XàY or
XàzàY or …) and how it applies to research design so far (two or
three paragraphs) 10a. Second hypothesis test: _______________
(comparative checking or within-case comparison: select and state
the test that you will apply in steps 10b-10c.) 10b. Explain
application of second hypothesis test to research design and how
its results affect the current hypothesis (three paragraphs) 10c.
Explain how results of second hypothesis test affects initial
theory (two or three paragraphs) **OR** 10d. New independent
variable: ______________ (identify here only the independent
variable that the initial theory proposes -- that is, the one that
now replaces the previous independent variable that the first
hypothesis test refuted) 10e. New hypothesis test: _______________
(comparative checking or within-case comparison: select and state
the test that you will apply in steps 10f-10g.) 10f. Explain
application of new hypothesis test to research design and how its
results affect the new hypothesis (three paragraphs) 10g. Explain
how results of new hypothesis test affects initial theory (two or
three paragraphs) List of sources Control variables #1-6 (or more)
Dependent variable: Independent variable: Any other sources
consulted (for steps 4, 9, and 10c or 10g)?
