Hypothesis: Men with mullets

My teacher is making us find a research question we are interested in. We then have to formulate that question into a hypothesis. Then define independent and dependent variables for your hypothesis.

I was thinking about men with mullets have lower iq's than those without. I want something totally wacky. Any other suggestions?

I am totally lost on the variables.

Can anyone help?

Hey, that is awesome.

So like, Students who eat alot of fast food have lower standardized test scores?

What about the independent and dependent variables?
 
Probably would agree that men with mullets have lower IQ but never was good with science so can't really help.

Two ways you could play it. Fast food fvcks up your test scores, so that would mean test scores dependent, fast food intake indep., or you could say being stupid makes fast food more appealing, so fast food dependent, test scores indep. Choose one.

Men with mullets probably have less education, but I'd doubt that intelligence has anything to do with it.

<--- had a mullet (+10)
<--- college dropout (+50)
<--- Middle Manager (crap. + 10,000)

I think your Hypothesis rings true.
 
I suggest asking the site owner of kittenhate to share his metrics of all the female members. I'm sure you could form a good hypothesis for that. 😉

C'mon man, you should be able to figure out the variables by just looking at the question. Ask yourself this: "In my situation and with what I'm looking at, what can change when going from person to person?" Those are your variables.

Hint: There are two.

When I was in college, I did a study on Internet/computer use vs social behavior (introverted, shy, etc.) I said it'd come up without a direct correlation and although I would've preferred a bigger sample size, it did come up with no correlation between either 😛. God it took forever to go through all the data as each survey measured in at about 20 pages, then I had to create weights for each personality question (I decided to go with a straight-up personality "test" rather than try to ask direct questions about one's social life. You could debate whether or not asking direct questions could sway someone's answers).
