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
(based on the demographical variables; male vs. female, psychology vs. pedagogy,
etc.)
Method
1. Participants
2. Materials
3. Procedure
Participants
Describe all demographical variables
Mention that a few people did not fill out the questionnaire. You can then either say
you still use the data of the missing people by estimating it or you can say you left
those people out. You only have to mention this once, nothing changes in your results.
Materials
Describe what you used to obtain the data (the questionnaire)
Explain how your variables are scored on the questionnaire (you can find this in the
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
1. Overall results of your variables
2. Regression analysis
3. Independent samples t-test
Overall results of your variables
SPSS > analyse > descriptive statistics > descriptives
State the mean and standard deviation for both variables
Explain what these scores mean according to the questionnaire (disagree, neutral,
agree)
