PSYC 6393/FPSY 6393/IPSY 6393/DPSY 6393: Capstone
Causes and Effects of Your Capstone Problem
Organizational Matrix
Every problem can have many causes, or reasons, for the problem. When you examine a cause of a problem, the effects, or what results from that cause, become apparent. The purpose for this section of the Capstone Project is to identify 3 main causes of your problem, then to identify 3 effects from those causes.
Use this matrix to organize your information about the causes and effects of your problem. As with all aspects of a research paper, the information about the causes and effects of the problem should come from the scholarly literature. Use this information to complete your written assignment on the Causes and Effects of a Research Problem.
