– there are two examples to help you structure the essay.
– *** MAKE SURE YOU USE ANY NUMBERS THAT ARE IMPORTANT AND SATISTICS TO SUPPORT THE HYPOTHESIS

-summarize or paraphrase) the reasoning leading up to the proposed hypothesis, then state the hypothesis (ideally, quote it, if possible). If the article contains many hypotheses, focus on the one that is most clearly derived from the theory. Be sure to explain clearly the logical connection between the hypothesis and the theory.

– the article that needs to be summarized is a empirical based researched.
– Communication Studies 306: Paper Assignment
Your assignment is to read (several times) and summarize one empirically-based research article (i.e., a study… not a theoretical discussion, literature review, or meta analysis) from a social science journal (i.e., communication or psychology journal). This article must be a test of an “objective” theory discussed in class (consult your textbook) and must feature a hypothesis deductively derived from a single theory. Your summary should be typed, double-spaced, and a minimum of 2 pages in length (feel free to use additional pages if necessary). Your summary must also include the following elements:
1. First, briefly describe the selected theory: with what phenomenon is the theory concerned? and what explanation does it offer for this phenomenon? (2 pts)
2. Overview (i.e., summarize or paraphrase) the reasoning leading up to the proposed hypothesis, then state the hypothesis (ideally, quote it, if possible). If the article contains many hypotheses, focus on the one that is most clearly derived from the theory. Be sure to explain clearly the logical connection between the hypothesis and the theory. In other words, based on the theory, why would we expect things to happen as stated in the hypothesis? (2 pts)
3. Describe the method(s) the researcher(s) used to answer their research question or test their hypothesis- did they conduct a survey, an experiment, or content analysis? Provide specific details about the participant population, the measurement or manipulation of variables, and the operations that the researcher(s) performed (i.e., exactly what did the researcher(s) do?). (2 pts)
4. Describe the results that were obtained. You do not have to report all of the results, only those that are critical to the test of your hypothesis. Determine whether or not the data were consistent with the hypothesis, or perhaps partially consistent. If the results are too complicated, quote the authors regarding their assessment of whether or not the data support the hypothesis (2 pts)
5. Discuss the implications (i.e., the ramifications and theoretical impact) of the results. After reviewing this data, does the theory seem correct? If not, how might the theory be changed to better explain the data? Alternatively, why might we still trust the theory even if the data was inconsistent with the hypothesis? (2 pts)
6. End the paper with a reference of your article in APA style. The basic format is presented below. For additional information, see “APA Style: 7th edition” on Canvas. (2 pts)
