Methodology

• 100 individuals to participate in questionnaire. Participants need to be apart of a family of 4. Age can range from 16 to 50 years old
• Questionnaire will find information on how long a day they are on their devices, how much time they spend with their family, and how much personally connection they have with every member of their family, among other questions.
• Results will be evaluated
• Evaluate the results, to determine if or how much the evolution of technology affects family relationships.

Discussion

• I will discuss why I asked the questions that I asked. I also explained why I wanted a certain criteria for my sample size of the research.
• I explain how much of a age difference probably matters in a research proposal like this.
• Explain how much holes a study like this can have and how it could affect the results.
