Please read instructions very very carefully. I have started the essay but clearly I am missing a lot like in the instructions below. I will attach what I started. This needs to be into 3 parts like, please read the instructions .
Part 1: Introduction Outline, Methods (~4 double-spaced pages)
The introduction, also known as the literature review, sets the tone and context for the reader. It also provides information from past research studies to back up any claim made. The research studies cited should be peer-reviewed articles or books and book chapters. The introduction typically starts out with general information about the topic (e.g. definitions, background info) as the introduction progresses the information becomes more specific (e.g. includes research related to the hypothesis) and is tailored to match what you are studying. At the end of the introduction is the hypothesis. This provides the purpose or aim of the study. You do not thave to write out a fully formed Introduction section. You are being asked to write an outline of your Introduction. To write the Introduction outline, you will do the following.
Research your topic and accumulate relevant research papers to your topic
Create an outline that will determine the structure for the paper (from general to specific)- it should include in-text citations using APA formatting throughout the introduction outline
Include your research question(s) at the end of the outline
The methodology provides information about the participants, stimuli/measures, and procedures used in the study. Participants are people who you collected data from in your study. Stimuli are what are used (e.g. face, color, words) to test your hypothesis, usually your independent variable in an experimental research design. Measures are used to quantify the responses, usually your dependent variable (e.g., surveys, questionnaires, assessments), but can also be an independent variable in a correlational research design. Procedure states how you conducted your study. This section should allow someone to replicate your study. To write your method, you will do the following:
Report of how many participants and brief demographic details (e.g. age, sex, SES, race, ethnicity, etc.), unless otherwise warranted by your research
Include a description of stimuli used, if you conducted an experiment or quasi-experiment
Describe the measurement used (including reliability and validity information) and identify where it came from, if it is a measurement that is already in existence
Describe the step-by-step procedure used
Part 2: Methods continued, Discussion (~4 double-spaced pages)
To finalize your Methods section, you will write the Data Analysis. Data Analysis section specifies what statistical test(s) you are conducting to test your hypotheses, and identification of your independent and dependent variables.The results include the output of all the statistical analyses (univariate and multivariate) that you analyzed as part of your hypothesis and/or to provide context to the constructs/variables used in the study. After collecting all of your data, it must be statistically analyzed (e.g. descriptive stats, ANOVA, t-test, correlation, regression, etc.) in some way. In order to analyze your data, you must code the data so that it can be entered into SPSS or a similar statistical program. Once the output is received, you must extract important statistical information to provide the reader with tests of significance, direction of effects, and effect sizes. The results section will include a lot of numbers as a summary of facts (e.g., statistical significance or no), but no interpretation about what the numbers mean. To write the results, you will do the following:
Identify which statistical analysis you will be conducting to test your hypotheses, including specifying the statistical software used to run analyses and alpha level
Identify the independent variable and dependent variables
Identify what type of statistical analyses were done
Identify the statistical test of significance and associated p-value
Identify and interpret the effect size
Report your statistical analyses in APA format
Include a graph or diagram to help illustrate your findings – remember to use APA formatting
State your conclusion about hypothesis, whether the results are consistent or inconsistent with your hypothesis
The discussion includes a summary interpretation of results (i.e., what it means that the statistical analysis was significant or not). No numbers should be listed in the discussion, only words to describe and interpret the numbers from your results section. The summary of results should be contextualized based on previous research, and elaborated on to explain why you think the results turned out to be what they are. Additionally, the discussion helps the reader frame the results by highlighting strengths and limitations of the study design to justify the generalizability of findings, discussion implications of the findings (why is the research important and what can be gleaned from this information?), and identifies directions for future research based on study findings and/or limitations of the study. To write your discussion, you will do the following:
Elaborate on what this conclusion about the hypothesis means
State the implications with evidence, limitations of research, and possible future directions for the research
Peer review of results/conclusion section
Write a revision based on peer review suggestions and turn it in
Part 3: Final Paper (12-15 pages)
The final paper is essentially a research article. It includes a title page, abstract, introduction (but you will have an outline instead of a written-out Introduction), hypothesis, method, results, discussion, and reference section. It is an accumulation of your revised sections from parts 1-2 with the addition of the title page, abstract and references, which should all be in APA-format. The abstract is a summary of the entire study and should be completed after the conclusions are made. In order to write the final paper, you need to do the following:
Write revisions based on the instructor’s feedback via rubrics for parts 1-2
Write revisions based on peer feedback via rubrics, line edits, and written feedback
Create a 150-word abstract that summarizes what your study examined, the method used, results found, and conclusions made. I encourage you to look at the abstracts of published articles to get a sense of how this section is succinctly written
Your title page should include your title, running head, your name, college name
Reference section lists all of the articles you cited throughout your paper in APA format
