Introduction

APA Format

Not APA format

Tried APA format

Mostly APA, some errors

Good APA format

Literature Review

No real review of the existing literature

Minimal review. It’s not clear how cited lit relates to your research

Decent review of the current literature on your topic. Have at least 3 references that directly relate to your research question

Good review of the current literature on your topic. Have at least 5 references that directly relate to your research question

Hypotheses

Hypotheses not mentioned or it’s not a testable hypothesis

Hypotheses stated at the end of intro. Hypotheses don’t really follow from literature or don’t entirely make sense

Hypotheses that follow from the literature. Hypotheses are testable and directional.

Well thought out and interesting hypotheses based on the literature – testable and directional.

Methods

Participants

Very little thought into participant selection

Clearly state how data will be collected – e.g. what’s the population. How would you obtain a sample from that population

Clearly state how data will be collected, state the population, include a sample size determination based on the literature

Well thought out sample size determination based on the literature – clearly state the population and a feasible method for collecting data from that population.

Procedure – research design

Little info about procedure

Not a clear procedure

Stated research design that tests the hypotheses

Procedure section clearly lays out research design. The research design provides a good test of the hypotheses

Procedure - Materials

No or little info about materials

Vague info about materials

Materials (e.g. measures, manipulations) make sense given the hypotheses and research design. Measures clearly labeled as independent or dependent variables.

Well thought out materials. Materials selected make sense given the hypotheses and research design and thought was put into controls variables and choosing measures that are well-established. Measures clearly labeled as independent or dependent variables.

Proposed analyses

No info about proposed analyses

Include proposed analyses, but they don’t make sense given the hypotheses

Proposed analyses make sense given the hypotheses.

Well thought out statistical analyses given hypotheses. Analyses take into consideration all measures and manipulations in the study.
