PART 3 PROPOSING A RESEARCH STUDY: RESULTS 30
Due: May 27 on Canvas Suggested length: 2 paragraphs + a figure.
The Results section of a research report presents the studys numerical results, including effect sizes and any statistical tests and their significance. You dont report the values for individual participants; you present group means or overall associations. Ask yourself: If you were to conduct this study, what would you predict the results would look like? Make up hypothetical data to support your hypothesis. Focus on the hypothetical patterns of findings you would see rather than on the statistical details. Discuss how you will ensure high statistical validity.
A well-organized Results section is systematic, and its sentence structure may even be a little repetitive. The priority is to be crystal clear. Begin with simple results and then move to more complicated ones. For example, if you included a manipulation check in an experiment, begin with its results. Then move to group means, followed by tests of significance. If your study was correlational, begin by presenting the simple bivariate correlations and then present multiple-regression results. If your study included multiple dependent variables, present the results for each one in turn, but try to keep the sentence structure the same for each dependent variable, so the reader can follow a predictable pattern.
Please also include a figure of your predicted findings. Figures should be created using a computer program such as Excel. Each figure should have clearly labeled axes and should be presented in black and white rather than color (see sample on p. 520). Figures should appear at the end of the Results section (though, in an actual manuscript, they would be placed at the end of the entire paper). If you have more than one figure, number each one consecutively (Figure 1, Figure 2, and so on), and place each on its own page. You must refer to each figure that you are including in the text of the Results section (e.g., Figure 1 depicts the effect of food quality and bowl size on amount of food consumed) but do not repeat the same numerical values in the text. Provide a descriptive caption for each figure, typed on the same page as the figure, appearing below it. The label (e.g., Figure 1) appears in italics followed by a period. The caption follows on the same line, in plain text.
Use the right kind of figure for your data: a bar graph works best for studies with one categorical variable (IV, on x-axis) and one quantitative variable (DV, on y-axis); a scatterplot with trend line works best for studies with two quantitative variables, such as variables measured at multiple points over time (or bivariate correlations).
Correlational studies should also include a multiple regression table in which you present all of the predictor variables and their associations with the outcome variable.
