The purpose of this assignment is to provide the opportunity to further examine your hypothesis and how it can be tested in relation to the middle range theory that you identified.  This is going to stretch you ~ but trust me, you will have a better appreciation of the process when you’re done ~ not to mention a feeling of accomplishment!
This will be a 4-5 page paper using at least three peer-reviewed journals, no older than 5 yrs. prepared in APA format using APA 6th ed. guidelines.  (please note: IF you include a reference in your reference list, you must have a corresponding in-text citation within your paper)
