I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Government Policies in a Population Survey about Good Government. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. This is an experimental study involving a control group who will be given the survey without reading anything prior to testing and an experimental group who will read an essay on government policies prior to completing the research survey. This will be a randomized study of college seniors who are of similar age and educational background who will be randomly assigned to the control or experimental group. The experimental condition is a dramatic and colorful expose on the accomplishments (or, alternatively, abuses) of government that will be used to determine whether exposure to opinionated statements affects attitudinal responses on a government survey questionnaire. The effect will be measured by a comparison of survey responses between the two groups. The setting is controlled in that it comprises a peaceful library setting at the university attended by the study subjects. The randomization will affect the potential generalisability of the study results and decrease the possible occurrence of random variables that could affect test responses. The randomization of the study also provides a basis for the statistical assessment of study results. This is an example of a classic controlled experiment design (Campbell & Stanley 1963). As such, it will involve pre-tests and post-tests.

Maximum internal and external validity may be obtained by the use research study designs that involve group studies rather than case studies or same subject design, subject randomization, and statistical analyses that are appropriate for the type of research study to which they are applied (Bulpitt 1996).&nbsp.&nbsp.
