This paper should be 2-3 pages long, and typed in a font no larger than 12, with normal (1 inch margins).
Seventy percent of your grade will be determined by how well you explain the study or studies (within one article). In the first section of your review (around 1 page), describe in your own words the study or studies that make up the article. What was the research about, and what research questions was the author trying to answer? How exactly was the research conducted? Who were the participants? What were the major findings, and what is the theoretical significance of those findings? Please be careful with this section; you will lose major points by misinterpreting the findings. You don’t have to focus on the analyses, but reading the discussion section and/or conclusions carefully will help a lot.
Thirty percent of your grade will be determined by how well you evaluate the study. In the second section, you should discuss the positives and negatives of the research design. Do you think the researchers were studying what they thought they were studying (validity), and do you think if the study was done again, it would have the same results (reliability)? Was the sample a reasonable sample, or was the group not representative of the type of people who would be in similar situations? If college students were the only participants, was that reasonable? What about the experiment(s)? Was it a good model of how people behave in real life? Or do you think people would behave differently in a similar real-life situation? Can you think of a better way to study the phenomenon? Did any surveys seem to ask the right questions? Is it possible that the participants’ behavior was affected by their beliefs about what was going on in the study? Were participants treated ethically?
What about the discussion? (You don’t have to read results closely if you’re not familiar with the statistical methods—but you can read the discussion for the plain English version.) Do you think the author came to the right conclusions about his/her study? Were the findings overstated? Would you come up with a different explanation for the findings? What do you think about the author’s suggestions for future research? Do you have any more suggestions that were not mentioned?This paper should be 2-3 pages long, and typed in a font no larger than 12, with normal (1 inch margins).
