Hello. I need some clarification, if possible for an assignment I have. It calls for 5 research questions which must include a hypothesis for each question. I thought research studies were based on one hypothesis. So I am confused on how I am supposed to created a research study with 5 hypothesis. I also would like an example(s) of research topics. This is the 1st week and we have not even covered an entire chapter so I am unsure what a relevant topic would be at this point. Would this be a topic, the influence maternal depression has on a child's development-externalizing problems like ADHD/Conduct Disorder/Oppositional Defiant Disorder? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Choose a topic relevant to developmental psychology that interests you. Then propose a research study that you would conduct. Describe your research questions and include a hypothesis for each question (at least 5 questions), and your methods for each question.
Include:
1. Introduction:
-Describe topic of interest
-Describe why it is important
-State 5 research questions; be specific!!
-State a hypothesis for each question
-State methods for each question

Step 2. Your question is great if it covers topics related to the material. Also, remember you are to select a topic and come up with five questions and 5 hypotheses. Please see my example below.
