Find one scholarly article related to your research question that
uses the experimental method to conduct research. Read the article, and
then write a one paragraph response to each of the following three
questions. A good paragraph is at least 3 sentences, preferably 5-7
sentences. Your submission should include an APA style cover page, and a
reference page that references the article you read.
Note:
These are short answer questions, not an essay! You do not need to
write an introduction and conclusion. You do need to cite in the body of
the paper as needed and include a reference page.
- Summarize the research project. Your summary should clearly identify the project’s research question.
- Describe the experimental set up and choice of sample and present the results of the project.
- What were the strengths of this research project? Consider both the
methodology and the sample selection. For the methodology, think about
the strengths of the experimental method, and whether this project took
advantage of those strengths. For sample selection, think about whether
the project selected a truly representative sample. - What were the weaknesses of this research project? Consider both the
methodology and the sample selection. For the methodology, think about
the weaknesses of the experimental method, and whether this project fell
prey to those weaknesses. For sample selection, think about whether the
project selected a biased sample.
