  1. Proposals

  2. APA style and an abstract • Don’t forget them

  3. Intro • Start broadly with the problem • Then set up what your study will do • Use headings • Tell where you’re going, go there, then summarize • Use topic sentences • Focus on results and important details

  4. Typical paragraph • Topic sentence: What is this paragraph about and how does it add to what you’ve already said? • Important method details with focus on results • Possibly of more than one study • In present tense for general results; past if you talk about the study in the text • Then tell what this all means or suggests

  5. Current study section • Getting to the narrow part of the hourglass • Summarize what your study adds to what we know • Give the rationale for your hypotheses • Set up your study • End with your hypotheses/research questions

  6. Method • Design section • Design, IVs, DVs, Covariates, Meds/Mods, etc. and why • Participants • Recruitment • Power analysis • Any incentives • Any criteria

  7. Procedure • Put it in time order • In enough detail that I could do exactly what you have in mind • Measures/materials • If necessary, or include with procedure • For each measure (including demographics): • Citation • Number of items, scale used • What it measures • Reliability and validity info • Sample item • Put in Appendix

  8. Validity • Internal • External • Construct • Conclusion • Ethics • Any concerns, how you’ll deal with them

  9. Expected results • Any calculations • Manipulation checks • How you’ll test each hypothesis • Stats • Comparisons (IVs, DVs, etc.) • What you expect to find • Any follow-up tests

  10. Discussion • Tell what your expected results would mean • Talk about what your study would add • Talk about a couple of limitations that are interesting (not things that are always issues) and why they aren’t that big a problem if possible and ways future research could address them • What are the implications for practice, for theory, for the real world? • End strong—what does this tell us about what you started out with as a problem?

  11. Rest of today’s assignment • Read over what’s expected of the papers and what to look for in the reviews: www.uni.edu/harton/Rubric for proposal.docxwww.uni.edu/harton/Peer review assignment.docx • Change papers with your partner • Read and write lots of comments on it • Do a summary of your feedback with strengths and things to work on • MEET with your partner today to go over that feedback • Give me a copy of your summary with partner’s initials indicating he/she met with you (due today) • Turn in the rough draft with feedback on it with your final paper
