RES 320 Week 3 Experimentation Critique

Resource: University Library

Find a research report that uses experimentation.

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word critique on that experiment.

Define the terms: independent and dependent variables, then describe how they are used in the selected study.

Comment on the sampling used to gather subjects, as well as on the reliability and validity of the study.

Use only journal articles that report actual experimentation—magazine or newspaper articles, opinion pieces, and commentaries are not appropriate. Here are some tips for selecting an appropriate article:

• If using the ProQuest database, check the box next to “Scholarly journals, including peer-reviewed.”
• Look for an abstract at the beginning of the article.
• These are reports of empirical research that were conducted. Think of an experimental report as a “story” of the research in which you lead the readers through the various aspects of the scientific experiment that was conducted.
• Make sure the article includes a description of the independent and dependent variables and the sampling plan.

Format yourpaper consistent with APA guidelines.
