Template:

Formulate a summary of the research that was conducted in the article you have found and include your thoughts on the methodology. Focus on topics we discussed in class like confounds and validity. Do not be polite. Think critically - question the variable's operational definition, question the claims the authors make, question what variables should have been measured or mentioned (what else could have been at play to make this outcome? What importance does this have for society? Does this study generalize to the world now?). Try to avoid using "I" statements. State your thoughts as facts. For example, instead of saying "I thought the study was interesting" state: "This study is interesting because..."

Questions:

• What question or hypothesis is being studied?
• What is the purpose of the study?
• Who were the subjects and how were they selected?
• What method did the researchers use to study their hypothesis?
• What evidence was provided that supported their hypothesis/hypotheses?
• What possible violations to validity (internal, external, construct) might the study have had?
• Overall, what is the claim being made? Is the claim valid?
