Find a recent peer­reviewed research article related to your topic (this should be an article that you will include in your proposal), which also includes similar data types and data collection methods as you are proposing in your own proposal. Do not use the same article as in this module’s discussion forum. Send a copy of the article (or a link to the article) to your instructor via course messages by Wednesday this week for the approval of this selected article. Explain how the data were collected in the study. Discuss what types of data the study is using (nominal, ordinal etc), identify the variables in the study, and identify the data as quantitative or qualitative. Justify and explain these identifications. Discuss how the study will help (or does not help) your own research proposal and what kind of additional data is needed. Your paper should be 1­2 pages in length.
