use the Information below to write your method section (RESEARCH PROCEDURES & DATA SET):

This study aims to examine the relationship between perceived social support and academic performance among undergraduate students at a moderately sized Historically Black College or University (HBCU) in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The results will inform strategies for improving student outcomes through targeted support interventions.

  • Research Questions and Hypotheses

Research Question:

Is there a significant relationship between social support and academic performance in college students?

  • Participants

Sample Size: 50 undergraduate students

Sampling Method: Convenience sampling

Demographic Composition:

  • 50% male (n = 25), 50% female (n = 25)
  • Ages 18–25
  • Full-time undergraduate enrollment at the university

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Full-time undergraduate student
  • Age 18–25
  • Able to provide informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Graduate or part-time students
  • Incomplete survey responses
  • Procedures
  1. Recruitment: Participants will be recruited through campus-wide emails, flyers in academic buildings, and in-class announcements.
  2. Informed Consent: All participants will review and electronically sign an informed consent form before beginning the survey.
  3. Survey Administration: Participants will complete the survey online through Qualtrics. The survey will include:
  • The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS)
  • An Academic Performance Questionnaire
  1. Time Commitment: The full survey will take approximately 10–15 minutes to complete.
  2. Incentive: Participants may opt to enter a raffle to win one of five $20 gift cards.
  • Instruments

Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS):

  • 12-item scale measuring perceived support from three sources: family, friends, and significant other
  • Each item is rated on a 7-point Likert scale (1 = Very Strongly Disagree to 7 = Very Strongly Agree)
  • High internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .85–.91)

Sample Items from the MSPSS:

  • “My family really tries to help me.”
  • “I can count on my friends when things go wrong.”
  • “There is a special person who is around when I am in need.”
  • “I get the emotional help and support I need from my family.”
  • “I can talk about my problems with my friends.”
  • “There is a special person in my life who cares about my feelings.”

Subscale scores for Family, Friends, and Significant Other support will be calculated in addition to a total score.

Academic Performance Questionnaire:

  • Self-reported cumulative GPA (on a 4.0 scale)

Risks:

  • Minimal psychological risk; students may reflect on their academic or social situations.

Benefits:

  • Contribution to research that may improve support programs for student success.
  • Personal reflection on academic and social well-being.
  • Voluntary Participation and Withdrawal

Participation is entirely voluntary. Participants may withdraw from the study at any time without penalty. They may skip any questions they do not wish to answer.

  • Informed Consent

An electronic informed consent form will be provided prior to the survey. Participants must acknowledge and agree to participate before proceeding.

  • Recruitment Materials (Flyer and Email Script)

Data Analysis Plan:

  • Confidentiality
  • No identifying information will be collected; all data will be anonymous.
  • Data will be stored securely on a password-protected computer, accessible only to the principal investigator.
  • Aggregate results will be used in reports or publications; no individual responses will be identifiable.
  • Risks and Benefits
  • Descriptive statistics will summarize demographics, support levels, and GPA.
  • Pearson correlation analysis will assess the relationship between MSPSS scores and GPA. ** Sample paper Attached**
