SPIRITUALITY aa AND aa QUIET aa EGO aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa a aa aa aa aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa 1
aa Your a study aa on aa the aa relationship aa between spirituality and ego aa reflects
a aa well-put-together aa section aa of a the aa research. aa In aa the aa first aa section aa of
your aa research, aa you aa described aa the aa demographic aa attributes aa of aa the a
sample aa using descriptive aa and aa frequency aa statistics aa while aa noting the aa
symmetry aa and aa skewness aa of the aa sample aa based aa on aa the aa demographic aa
characteristics. aa In aa the aa second aa section of aa the aa study, aa the aa Pearson aa
correlation aa coefficient aa was aa correctly aa used aa to a evaluate aa the aa relationship aa
between aa the aa independent aa and aa dependent aa variables. aa Formatted aa the aa table
using aa the a tables a in aa APA aa format aa and named aa them aa appropriately aa
was aa also aa correctly put aa together. aa Further, aa you aa correctly aa used
scatterplot aa to visualize aa the relationship between aa ego and aa spirituality.
Your aa interpretation aa of aa the a output aa was aa also a correct, aa and your aa
decision aa not aa to aa reject aa the a null aa hypothesis aa with aa a aa p-value of aa 0.336 aa
was aa also aa valid. aa However, aa you did not aa comment on aa the aa direction
and aa strength aa of aa the relationship between aa ego and spirituality. aa Was aa
the aa relationship weak, aa moderate, or aa strong, aa and aa did aa an aa increase aa in aa
spirituality aa lead aa to lower aa or aa higher levels aa of aa quiet aa ego? aa I aa think aa
you aa incorrectly aa referred aa to aa the a correlation aa coefficient aa as aa the
coefficient aa of aa determination.
In aa the aa discussion aa section, aa you aa first a summarized aa the aa purpose aa of aa the aa
study, aa the aa methodology, aa and aa the findings. You aa were also aa correct aa in
stating aa the aa weakness aa in aa the a study aa as aa it aa involved only aa people aa who aa
used aa Facebook aa as aa they aa may aa share specific characteristics aa that a are aa
not aa representative aa of aa the aa general population. aa You aa then related aa the
results aa of aa your study aa to aa previous aa findings. aa I aa commend you aa for a
using aa studies aa aligned with aa your results aa and aa those that aa contracted aa
your aa results, aa making aa your aa discussion aa broad and aa well-rounded.
You aa further aa noted aa nuances aa in aa the aa definition aa of spirituality and aa
religiousness, aa which may aa have aa led aa to aa a aa difference aa in the aa expected aa
and aa the actual results. aa Finally, aa the study aa suggested aa further aa study aa for
the aa topic a while noting aa its aa importance aa and using aa well-formatted aa
references. aa Overall, aa the aa study a was aa well aa thought aa out aa and aa articulated.
The aa first a strength aa in aa your result aa and aa discussion sections aa is aa your
breakdown aa of your aa demographics, aa and aa the aa associated aa limitations aa
presented. aa Future aa researchers aa can aa attempt aa to further aa diversify aa the aa
sample aa of aa participants. aa Your second strength aa is aa your a effective aa use aa
of aa graphs. The aa correlations aa graph presented aa relevant aa information aa to aa
your aa reader and the aa scatterplot aa captured aa the disassociation between aa
your aa two aa variables.

The aa first a recommendation aa I would make aa is aa including aa previous aa
research aa methods aa and aa to comparison aa them aa to yours aa so that aa the aa
reader aa is aa able aa to grasp aa a aa full picture aa concept aa on lessons aa learned aa
and/or aa for aa repeat aa purposes aa (15 aa Steps, aa n.d.). aa The aa second aa suggestion aa
is aa to aa include aa if aa you aa did aa or did not aa brief a participants aa over aa the aa
definitions aa of your aa variables aa (15 aa Steps, aa n.d.). aa You aa explained aa quite aa
well aa in your aa discussion aa section aa how aa defining aa the aa terms aa can aa
complicate aa and aa negatively aa impact aa research aa efforts. aa The third aa
suggestion aa is aa stressing aa the aa big aa picture aa on aa why aa research in aa this aa
area aa is aa important aa and the aa positive aa outcomes aa it aa can aa have aa (15 aa
Steps, aa n.d).
aa aa a aa aa aa aa aa aa aa a aa aa aa aa aa The aa study aa you mentioned aa was aa relevant aa and
your aa tone aa and aa word aa usage aa was aa appropriate.
Your aa results aa and aa Discussion aa were a well aa constructed. aa One suggestion aa
would aa be to aa maintain aa the aa anonymity aa of aa the aa participates aa is if aa you aa
would aa have aa allowed aa more aa participants aa to aa fill aa out aa the aa form aa and aa
randomly aa selected aa the aa number of aa participants aa for aa the aa study aa or a post
the aa link a on aa two aa different aa social aa sites aa to obtain ensure aa that a
anonymity aa was aa indeed aa protected. aa You nicely explained aa the aa results aa
section aa of aa the aa study aa and aa provided the aa proper aa table and figure aa in
APA aa format, aa which aa gave aa a great aa visual aa of aa the aa results. aa One a
weakness aa is aa that aa there aa is aa not aa a a notes aa section aa for aa the figure, aa
although aa not required, aa it aa would aa have aa made aa the a results aa in aa the aa figure
easier aa to aa understand aa (American aa Psychological Association, aa 7th aa ed, aa p. a
227). aa Another aa great aa aspect aa of aa your aa research aa is aa the aa use aa of aa relevant
references. aa This aa aided aa in aa the aa support aa of aa your a study. aa aa Lastly, aa you a
did aa not aa discuss aa what aa the aa results aa mean for aa the field, aa and this aa
impacts aa the aa big aa picture.
