Literature Review and Variables
Craft an original research hypothesis that will prove or disprove your research question approved in Week 1.
(How effective is the TSA’s layered, risk-based security approach in preventing terrorist attacks in US airports?)
This will be the focus of your research for the Capstone Research Project. You must clearly state your hypothesis in a standalone statement. You must further discuss the hypothesis and reasoning for the hypothesis in a follow-on paragraph. Be sure to address how the hypothesis is related to your research question.
Then, for your selected research hypothesis, identify three research variables which you believe will answer, confirm, or refute your research hypothesis and answer your research question. Each of these research variables should be listed in a standalone statement (i.e., Research Variable 1: XXXXX). Be sure to determine if they are independent or dependent variables.
Explain how your research variable relates to your hypothesis. Identify how each of the three research variables will be measured in order to confirm or deny your research hypothesis.
In the second part of your paper provide an annotated bibliography that accurately describes your literature review for the Capstone Research Project.
Identify five of the eight required resources (scholarly, government, or professional resources), other than the course textbook, that you will use to research and evaluate your research variables and utilize to confirm or deny your research hypothesis.
Remember, at least five of your resources for the Capstone Research Project must be found in the UAGC Library.
(Be sure to note those resources you found in the UAGC Library.) For each of the resources identified, describe in two to three sentences how the resource supports your research.
Research Question is: How effective is the TSA’s layered, risk-based security approach in preventing terrorist attacks in US airports?
