GCC Gender Ethnic Groups Stress levels and Anxiety Paper

Learning Goal: I’m working on a research & summaries multi-part question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Keep all formatting the same as the sample draft (APA) Everything you work on must be changed to black font. Everything in RED AND GREEN must be replaced with your own words. Replace the header with the dependent variable. 3 Independent Variables needed. Cite everything. 

Dependent Variable: You can do stress levels and anxiety

• We need justification – why do we care about the DV?

• Definition of the DV

• Prevalence of the DV (in the last 5 years)

• E.g., How prevalent is your DV in emerging adults or university students?

• Variables such as depression, anxiety, stress, will have prevalence data

• Variables such as self-efficacy, self-esteem, happiness will not

• Harms or benefits of the DV

• Does your DV lead to harms in your target population?

• Does your DV lead to benefits in your target population?
