Is the study replicable? (Did it actually replicate—If not, could you replicate it?) What is the evidence for its replicability?

10/___

Is the study in generalization mode or theory-testing mode? How do you know? How does this affect the types of validities you prioritize and the types of questions that you ask?

10/___

Does the study test a theory? (If so, does it provide good support for the theory?)

10/___

Is the study important in the real world? (Was it in generalization mode? Could it be? To what extent does real-world applicability matter?)

10/___

Your paper is formatted in perfect APA style. The APA style components I will be looking for include:

· Title page (see the sample paper in the book!)

· Reference section

· Citations within text

· Margins, spacing, pagination

I will take off one to two points per error! Triple check your work.
