What statistical test was used? Did the authors interpret the results of their analyses fairly? Are their conclusions well-supported by their statistics? Do they exaggerate their findings? Do you believe the statistical tests used were appropriate to answer their research question? Would some other methods (even qualitative) have been better / more useful? Do you find the operationalization of their research constructs plausible? Do the authors sufficiently address the question of whether the assumptions of the statistical tests (e.g., LINE) are met? Are their specific results plausible or implausible? Do you "buy" their findings? If you could redesign this study, what would you have done differently?
