My decision for my Research Project is:

 

Do people have different levels of sympathy and empathy for different abused objects?

My purpose for doing this project is because the topic really touches my heart to think that people feel worse for one abused thing and not another.

This project can be tested by creating a log/article/quiz about an abused, for example lets say baby, so the log/article will be about an abused baby and at the bottom the subjects (people) must write down their feelings towards the article/log.

Other people can do this project as well by just asking the peole their feelings on different abused objects.

This question is concise because by just reading the title you get a summary of what the project is going to be about.

I got this idea from Alexia Grant's article, Abused Puppies Get More Sympathy Than Adult Crime Victims, on her blog (http://scienceandsarcasmag.blogspot.com/)

I think I should be approved on this question because it is a subject I haven't seen before on a science project and because I work hard and am focused on what I do and what I want to do.
