Research Proposal

So, I've been trying to come up with a research proposal for my applied research methods course in psychology for a few weeks, and I'm not getting anywhere. Anyone have any suggestions of topics that would be interesting to research.
It can be anything as long as the mode of research would be experimental.

I am taking Research Methods in Human Development and my research proposal involves correlation between frequent Barbie play in the preteen years and the development of disordered eating in the teen years.

For my senior thesis (in Sociology), I examined whether At NCSU, Greeks, Varsity Athletes, or Students not Affiliated with either of those two groups participated in more sexual activity (specifically examined sexual intercourse and oral sex). It was a cohort study so the population that I studied were "traditional" students (ages 17-24). The population I studied was 600 students (200 from each category - split 100/100 male/female).

It was neat...but not really experimental I suppose.

One of my friends was in psychology and she examined whether scent really effects memory. She had people come in one at a time and smell a hanky sprayed with a scent - then they did an activity (read a childs book, color a picture, play with a stuffed animal, etc.), smelled another scent then did an activity, etc. Then after 8 scents she brought the subjects into a different room and had them smell the hankies and tell her what they were doing when they smelled that particular scent. It was neat too.
