Introduction
1. Relevance
2. Definition of the variables (only the ones you use)
3. Hypotheses supported by two articles
Hypotheses
 One hypothesis about the relationship between two continuous variables
 One hypothesis about how one of the variables differs between two different groups

etc.)
Method
1. Participants
2. Materials
3. Procedure
Participants

those people out. You only have to mention this once, nothing changes in your results.

description of the variables on Canvas)
 Explain how the scores are used for your results (you can find this in the description
of the variables on Canvas)
Procedure
 Explain how the questionnaire was used (in workgroups of x participants, how much
time did they get, etc.)
 Explain what knowledge the participants had of how the data was going to be used
 Explain what the participants agreed to by filling out the questionnaire
Results
