Research Proposal in Pyschology course?

i have to write a research proposal for my research methods lab class. not sure what to do it on. any suggestions/ideas????

Research Proposal in Pyschology course?
The effects of humor on political decision making. Give participants a comic of one of the 3 political candidates, ask them to write a short description of what the comic is saying, then have them read quotes from each candidate and rate the merits of each aspect of the quote. Does the comic have an effect on people's political choices?





Have the comic make references to hot topic issues: i.e. a racist comic for Obama, a sexist one for Clinton, and an ageist one for McCain. My hunch is that there will be less reaction for the Ageist comic than for the sexist and racist ones.
