Article Critique – Non-Experimental Designs
Assessment Description- My hypothesis for my study is to find out the correlation between household income and the correlation with mental health. The steps that I took in developing my hypothesis is gathering information through a cross-sectional study. To examine the cross-sectional association between income and mental disorders I had to research a few mental disorders were associated with every level of decrease in income i.e., bipolar disorder, social phobia, and more.
