Form arguments defending your rankings and reference and discuss related academic studies to support your position.
• Using the NCU library, identify an academic article that tests or provides insight into one of the above theories (note the trade-off theory maybe be discussed as an extension to the M&M proposition). Explain the nature of that study discussing the research questions, the data, the methodology and the results. Form what you believe would be an important next research question that would extend the results within that area of study. Discuss that proposed research question.
