1. If you turned in an appropriate topic during stage 1, simply copy it over for this stage. If the instructor asked you to make revisions, they must be made here.

2. For this stage, you must turn in 2 research hypotheses that you can test using 1998 GSS data. You must also turn in the variable-names that you will use in your tests. Again, make certain that there are frequencies in the column under 1998. If all zeros appear, the question was not asked during that year and you will have to either find another variable/question to use, or change your topic.

3. Prior stages dealt with univariate statistics. Remember that a hypothesis is generally about the relationship between two or more variables. Therefore, for this stage it is necessary to add at least one (and possibly two) more variables/survey questions.

4. Make certain that you accurately record the variable names exactly as they appear in the GSS codebook. I will be checking to make certain that these names are correct. If they are not, you will not receive credit for this assignment.

5. Make certain that you accurately identify the intended population to whom you wish to generalize your findings. For example, if you are studying preference in childbirth methods, you will likely wish to make a generalization only about women in the US. If your topic applies to everyone, the intended population is simply "English speaking adults in the US."

Topic - I am interested in the effect of gender and age on attitudes about traditional gender roles.

Intended Population: English speaking adults in the US. 

Hypothesis 1: I hypothesize that men are more likely to hold traditional views on gender roles than women.

Hypothesis 2: I hypothesize that older individuals are more likely to hold traditional views on gender roles than do younger individuals.

Variables I will use in my analyses:
AGE - Respondent's Age
SEX - Respondent's Gender
FEFAM - "It is much better for everyone involved if the man is the achiever outside the home and the woman takes care of the home and family."

For this stage, please turn in a typed single page in the same format as the example above.
