The researchers used the literature review to define the variables in this study adequately and provided an idea of the direction of the research.
4) The specific hypotheses of the study
Internalized homophobia. Violence and discrimination are positively related to depressive symptomatology and alcohol use, while community connectedness is negatively related to depressive symptomatology and alcohol use.
5) Independent Variable(s)/Predictor Variable(s)
The independent variables in this study are internalized homophobia, violence, discrimination, and community connectedness.
5a) How did the author(s) operationalize the variables?
The researchers explained how each variable would be measured, the tools to be used, and the limitations of controlling them.
6) Dependent Variable(s)/Outcome Variable(s)
The dependent variables in this study include depressive symptomatology and alcohol use.
6a) How did the author(s) operationalize the variables?
The authors identified the measuring tools and explained how each variable would be measured.
