Donna Schafer, Dean Research and Graduate Studies Siemens Hall Humboldt State University 1 Harpst Street Arcata, CA 95521 Dear Dr. Schafer, I am writing to you today to submit a research prospectus to be considered by the HSU Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects in Research. I have conducted extensive background research on a topic that has influenced my life throughout my childhood, and now into my young adult years. The topic I am referring to is video games. With increased popularity, video games are becoming increasingly violent, and beginning to serve as more of an impact on the lives of participants. As they continue to develop they are in need of further research. Currently, there is virtually no research being conducted on how video games influence human relationships. I am interested in discovering how video games influence heterosexual relationships. More specifically, I want to research how video games influence the communication between the participant, and the participant’s significant other. I find this an extremely relevant topic of research in our current world; considering the rapid development and influence of technology today. I would greatly appreciate your consideration when reviewing my prospectus. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Janelle Blakely
