After reading Butler, Harper, & Mitchell, C. B. (2011), answer the following questions:

1.What research question(s) does the study address?

2.What is the researchers' rationale for the study? Was the study designed to contribute to theory? Do the results of the study contribute to theory? For both questions: If so, how? If not, why not?

3.What constructs does the study address? How are they operationalized?

4.What are the independent and dependent variables in the study?

5.The researchers used analysis of variance (ANOVA) in their data analysis. Was this an appropriate choice? Why or why not?

6.Name the type of research design the researchers used.

7.What internal and external validity threats did the researchers address in their design? How did they address them? Are there threats they did not address? If so how does the failure to address the threats affect the researchers' interpretations of their findings?
