aricle analysis

Content Requirements

Carefully read the article corresponding to your topic. (Articles can be found in the locker corresponding to your group.) Identify the  purpose,  hypotheses,  key variables (independent, dependent, or correlational) and how they are operationalized,  type of research design (e.g., experimental, correlational, quasi-experimental), procedure (including cover story),  and key results. You can use the  article analysis form  to summarize these details if you wish, but this form does not need to be submitted. If your article is a multi-study paper, read the whole article, and summarize the first study and then briefly (in 1-2 sentences) mention how the subsequent studies differed from the first study.

Then describe implications of the results (in plain language) and a possible follow-up study. Explain why your follow-up study is important and what it would tell us about this line of research. Aim to propose something original rather than something described in the Discussion section of the article. Finish the paper with an APA style reference for the article. The paper should be written in paragraph format, in accordance with APA style. As writing quality is especially essential in such a short piece, plan to write multiple drafts.
