• Will need this for Project 1
• This is a brief summary of your report.

For this, youll want to start with your general
topic of interest (i.e., predicting health
outcomes) and discuss the topic. Review the
required articles. Describe it in YOUR
words. Then, youll want to lead into your
specific hypotheses (include explanation/justifica
tion of why you believe these to be so). Do not
begin this section with the heading Introduction

• Youll have three sections
• Participants tell me how many
• Measures tell me what your variables are (give
  them names), what type they are, and specifically
  how they were operationalized. You may include an
  example of an item from each scale of interest.
  Only include the measures that are relevant to
  the hypotheses you chose.
• Procedures now tell me what you did

Begin by summarizing the data with means and
standard deviations of the variables relevant to
your hypotheses. Tell me the type of analysis
that you did and what the analysis revealed
include both significant and non-significant
results that are relevant for your paper Do not
include results that arent relevant! Report
statistics in APA style Also tell me briefly
what the results mean in English do NOT tell me
how they relate to your hypotheses

Now youll discuss your results in light of your
initial hypotheses Were they supported? Why or
why not? If not, are there other alternative
explanations? What were the limitations of this
study? How could they be improved upon? Was there
a flaw in the research design? How did it affect
the results? Are there any relevant issues of
measurement? What future directions are there?
