Topic You name Name of your supervisor

Relevance of the study Here you need to show why your study is important, what your motivation to study particularly this issue was, which social problem you address ! It should not be plain text ! Use bullets Figures usually work well ( % of migrants, % of the poor, etc. ) You might want to use illustrations, but don’t exaggerate

Problem statement This slide aims to help us understand why your study makes sense and why the results you will obtain next year will tell us something new List only the most important E. g. : The analysis of previous research on the topic allows us to identify a few gaps: 1) …. 2) …. To address these gaps, I will: 1) …. 2) ….

Theoretical background This slide is needed to justify your hypotheses or research questions Please list only those concepts/ideas/theories that build on your argument, help us see the rationale, and convince us that your predictions (hypotheses) are well-though and reasonable Always use references

Research questions or hypotheses* 1) Hypothesis 1: …. . 2) Hypothesis 2: …. . 3) Research question 1: …. . Please make sure your hypotheses are specific, i. e. “Number of friends and well-being are associated” (wrong) vs. “Number of friends is positively associated with well-being: The more friends one has, the higher is their level of well-being” * You might want to have theory and hypotheses on one slide: For instance, if you have many hypotheses, it might be easier to explain them one by one

Method Sample Who you will sample for (provide a socio-demographic profile of your target audience, i. e. males and females aged 30 -50, with university degree) How you will sample (sampling strategy) How many people you will need (be ready to explain why)

Method Procedure Provide steps and describe the process of data collection Examples of questions you might want to address: Is it self-administration or an interview? What experimental design you use (if it’s an experiment)? Who will conduct interviews? How the questionnaires will be administered (e. g. online/offline)? What the instruction will say? Will there be debriefing?

Method Measures My suggestion would be to have the following on the slide: 1) Name of your variable (what you measure) 2) Name of the scale you use 3) Author(s) 4) Year it was published E. g. : Self-esteem Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1966) Self-control Self-scoring Self-control Scale (Tangney et al. , 2004) NOTE: If the name of your scale is too long, use abbreviated version

Method Adaptation If you are going to adapt any measures, provide this information on this slide If you are going to translate any scale, mention what method of translation you will use (e. g. translation-back-translation, committee approach) If you plan to do cognitive interviews, provide a brief sample description – who will be the people you interview and how many interviews you will conduct

Data analysis Say how you are going to analyze the data and which data analysis procedure you will use and why E. g. : Reliability analysis (Cronbach’s alpha) To estimate the scale (say which one) reliability Regression analysis To test the effect of variable x (i. e. values) on variable y (satisfaction with life) Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) To test the effect of nationality (Russian vs. non-Russian) on psychological well-being (satisfaction with life, self-esteem, happiness) controlling to age

Conclusions Say what has been done so far and what your further steps are You can also mention practical significance here

Thank you for your attention!
