Approximately 10-15% of your wordcount should be allotted to the Introduction. As your literature review skills are not under examination in this module, this section should be short and get straight to the point of justifying your hypothesis/hypotheses, with reference to relevant literature. Around 5 references will suffice.
* Are you asking sensible, interesting, justified questions of the data? Don’t ask questions that cannot be answered by the data that is available to you or that will not generate any insight.
Approximately 10% of your wordcount. Describe how the data was gathered, who the participants were, etc.
*Have you reported all essential methodological and demographic information that the reader needs to understand your findings?
This is the main part of this report and may be approximately 40-50% of your wordcount, depending on your chosen methods. You and your classmates may have different approaches to the same dataset because there are a large number of variables (and associated hypotheses), multiple statistical techniques to choose from and you must fit your report within a limited wordcount. We cannot tell you what tests to use, you must engage with your data and make those decisions for yourself. As this is a Master’s assignment with a 3000-5000 word count, clearly running one t-test or a bivariate correlation will not suffice, but you should not simply run every test you can think of. You must choose the correct tests and justify their use. You can use any tests you see fit, you are not bound by what we have covered in the lectures and tutorials. Effect sizes and measures of central tendency (e.g. confidence intervals) should be included for all tests. You should include tables and/or figures as you see fit. Remember, as per APA guidelines, the same data should appear in text or in a table/figure, never both. All tables and figures should be referred to in-text. You don’t need to include every variable in your analysis. You can also create new variables from the data (e.g. adding together a number of items to make a scale, collapsing variables to create an average, etc.).
*Do your chosen tests comprehensively answer the questions posed? Have they been performed and reported correctly (with any decisions justified)? Have tables and figures been used appropriately and judiciously? Are all tables and figures in APA style? Note that this section should not include any SPSS output (tables or graphs).
Approximately 25-30% of the wordcount. This is the interpretation section of a research paper, where you take the findings (from the results section) and interweave them with the literature outlined in the Introduction. If the Results section tells us what your results are, the Discussion section tells us what your findings mean in context. Are they different to previous research? In line with your hypotheses? Etc.
*Have the results been interpreted correctly (considering both statistical significance and effect sizes)? Is there critical engagement with the research findings and their implications? Have thoughtful limitations and strengths been outlined? Note – limitations should be things that future studies should incorporate that were not within your power to do.
Approximately 5% of your wordcount – just a short paragraph to tie up the paper and reiteratre the key findings. This paragraph won’t contain any new information.
