PSYC602 Quantitative Methods in Social Science Research

W7: Examining Quantitative Research Methods

In the Week 7 Discussion, we will analyze a peer-reviewed journal article. Select a peer-reviewed journal article in psychology that uses a quantitative research design. Provide a brief summary that highlights the main research question, what was measured and how it was measured, and the primary findings. Please discuss what methods you would use differently and what I would do as a follow-up study. Ensure that your discussion focuses on the research design (i.e., methods) and your next steps target how you would design or redesign the study if you were asked to do it.

Feel free to use APA headings to separate sections.

In your peer responses, please reflect on how your peer's choices, examples, etc. are similar or different from your choices.

Please review these guidelines prior to starting the discussion to ensure you earn maximum points.
