Barbara,
Good start to the discussion. For your RQ, you’ll need to have the DV (deviant behaviors) in the RQ- I think this is what you mean by “impact” and if so use the DV instead since it is more specific. Think of your IV(s), as variables you are changing/manipulating or grouping or correlating with your DV. What group(s) would you have? or what variable do you want to measure on a continuos scale?
