Experiment Overview General Issue Researchable Question (Theory) Hypothesis Specific Predictions Results / Outcomes Methodology/ Data Collection (see threats to validity) Analysis / Statistics (prescribed by design, pg 215, 263) Design (Factorial, 2X2) Written Report Poster

Researchable Question Idea development Group Individual Brainstorm Ideas Your Interests How design experiment? Hypotheses/ Operational Definitions Specific Predictions Expectations of results How analyze? Best Idea Back Group Brainstorm

Data Collection Experimental design Conducting Experiment Materials Is something already available? Adequate materials Does it address hypotheses? At least one group member present Is a debrief and/or informed consent needed? Need to develop? Back Use class or other?

Results/ Outcomes (written report) Written Report Group Individual Gather info for sources (library, PsychInfo) for intro? Develop reference list Consult APA manual and class handouts for guidelines Share and combine individual drafts Develop a “super section” (build on individual drafts) Write individual draft PosterBack

Written Report (Sections) IntroductionMethodsResultsDiscussionReferences See worksheet for further explanations. PosterBack

Results/Outcomes (Poster) PosterGroup Individual Select important content of written material to include (bullets are a useful way to present lots of info). Apply threats to validity poster framework Integrate anything especially useful in representing your results (graphs, charts, etc.) ReportBack

Poster Title Authors, group, and class Introduction and hypotheses (what do you really need to know to understand study?) Method (subjects, procedure, materials used) Results (accept/reject hypo., useful graphs, important findings or lack thereof) Discussion (meaning of results in terms of past research from introduction, future directions and things you would change) References Back
