This is a rewrite. There is no hypothetical study section, which needs to include method and results, participant description and a discussion section. This paper only has the resources discussed and not an actual hypothetical research study. Some APA formatting errors need to be addressed and if possible quantitative research methods should be used. All the information needed has been listed below
- Abstract: For the first section of your research report, you will create an abstract that is a concise summary of your research study. Include information on your research question, subjects (if applicable), methods, results, and discussion.
- Introduction: In this section, you will create an introduction that includes a literature review of research pertinent to the topic area you have chosen. This section should contain the following elements, which will demonstrate your ability to interpret psychological research and develop research questions regarding unexplored topic areas:
- Prepare a literature review
- Determine testable research questions with hypotheses
- Methods and Results: For the next section of your research report, you will develop methods and results sections that inform potential readers of how you conducted your study and what the statistical results of the study were. These sections should contain the following elements, which will demonstrate your ability to detail the process of conducting research and to appropriately convey your results:
- Explain the methods of how you conducted your study
- Conduct statistical analyses as appropriate
- Discussion: For the last section of your research report, you will write your discussion section, which describes your interpretation of your results and speaks to how future researchers can expound on your work. This piece should contain the following elements, which will demonstrate your ability to detail the process of conducting research and to appropriately convey your results:
