so this assignment you need,
Please look for a short empirical, quantitative (numbers) paper — a manuscript describing an actual study conducted on people from whom measures were taken and data analyzed using statistical procedures.
The PowerPoint presentation of a published paper from a psychological journal
of your grade). The final task that will be included in your course performance is comparable to a “term
paper.” To make this class highly compatible with your intellectual interests and needs, you will be asked
to make an 18-22 slide presentation of a psychological paper of your choice. This should be an examination
of a topic relevant to course content. This must be a short empirical paper — a manuscript describing an
actual study conducted on people from whom measures were taken and data analyzed using
statistical procedures. The paper has to be published in one of the established peer-reviewed
psychological journals found in any decent college library. You cannot present review papers
(including meta-analyses), chapters from authored or edited books, case studies, qualitative analyses,
thought papers/essays, web blogs, or web summaries of articles originally printed somewhere else.
Carefully browse, better said – READ the paper before you decide on summarizing it. The more
thoughtful is your initial choice, the easier your task will be to complete.
If you were to actually make this presentation in class, it should not exceed 20 minutes. An example of
such a presentation is available in the content of our D2L course. Go to: “SUBMIT your POWERPOINT
presentation:” Example of PowerPoint presentation by KK. I also included the actual paper that was
presented in my PowerPoint presentation: Brown & McGill’s (1989) reading for the PowerPoint
presentation example by KK.
More specific instructions that you should carefully follow in completing this assignment are posted on
D2L (11 points). Basically, you will start with a title slide (authors’ names, affiliations, paper’s title and
the citation, your name). The second slide must include the original abstract of the paper. Next slides
should be designed to address the following questions serving as an outline for your presentations:
* What was the theoretical/practical justification for the study? What was the research question
posed in the study?
* What specific questions or hypotheses/predictions were made?
* Who were the people studied?
* How were the independent variables (predictors) measured, or what were the experimental
manipulations?
* What dependent measures (outcomes) were collected?
* What were the MOST IMPORTANT results? (include only the most important statistical
information, use your own words about whether or not the main hypotheses were supported,
and include graphs, and tables if available).
* What conclusions did the authors draw?
* What do you think of the study’s contribution to our understanding of the stress and coping
process?
* What is your “take-home message”? In 20-25 words – what have you learned from this study?
