For this assignment,
revise the Methods from the Research Report in PSY-452. You are required
to keep the following sections: participants,
materials/instruments/apparatuses, procedures, and design. As you make
revisions to the Methods make sure to include the following information
in each section:
Introduction paragraph: Describe the need
for additional research on your topic, which you found and pointed to at
the end of the literature review. State the purpose of your study in a
problem statement or hypothesis. Finally, write a thesis statement that
describes what the purpose of this section of the paper is: to present
the methods including participants, materials, procedures, and design,
that will be used to conduct the study.

factors that are not implied when stating who can participate. Be
specific about any factors that would be included in the study (i.e.
age, gender, race/ethnicity, SES, education level, etc.). Include how

should be based on how you plan to generalize the results. In other
words, to whom would the results be applied?

how they will be used, just state what you need (i.e. tables, chairs, a

store the data, etc.)
Procedures: Make sure this section is
written in detail. You will begin with providing informed consent and
write detailed directions that you will follow (in paragraph format) to

design of your study (descriptive, correlational, qualitative,
quantitative and/or experimental). Also, describe how participants are
assigned to groups if applicable (i.e. within/between).
