Stick with me here.
I think this would be a great warm-up activity early in the semester. My boy Ace had a research hypothesis, operationalized his research, tried to collect data points using several test subjects, and measured his outcomes. Here is the original interview from Draft Diamonds and Newsweek's story.
1) How did he operationalize his hypothesis? What was his IV? DV?
2) Did he use proper APA headers? Should APA style require the publication of pictures of crying researchers if their findings don't replicate?
3) This data could be analyzed using a repeated measure ANOVA. He had various members of his family throw a football as different PSIs and he measured how far the ball traveled and calculated mean for three attempts at each PSI.
4) His only participants were his mom, dad, and sister. So, this study is probably underpowered.
5) In this video from NBC news, Ace's dad describes how they came up with the research idea. Ace isn't crazy about school but he loves football, so he did research about football. Really, is that so different from how many of us decided on our thesis or dissertation ideas?
