Conduct a brief literature review on 4 designs of your choice, one from each of the following categories: Non-experimental, Quantitative experimental, Qualitative, and Mixed methods. You will need to find a minimum of 1 peer-reviewed article per design (i.e., four articles in all). In your paper, briefly outline the topic you selected for your Final Research Proposal in Behavioral Psychology and apply the scientific method by suggesting both a specific research question and a hypothesis for the topic.
