Assignment: Choose 1 quantitative article and compose a 3-page review (not including the reference page in the count). Your review must include 2 sections (using Level 1 headings in APA): (1) a summary of the article and (2) a critical analysis of the article.

Your summary must include:

• The purpose of the study;

• A description of participants/sample;

• The research design (experimental, quasi-experimental, correlational, regression, etc.);

• The method of data collection (survey, test, questionnaire, etc.);

• A statistical analysis (t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), chi square, Pearson product moment correlation, Spearman rho, etc.); and

• The results.

Your analysis must include:

• Opportunities for further research not already stated in the article,

• Threats to validity or rival hypotheses not already discussed,

• Other original insight or criticism, and

• Implications of the findings.

See your textbook if you need more help evaluating your article. Remember to include a reference page. All citations and references must be in current APA format.

NOTE: If the article you selected does not identify how the data was statistically analyzed (e.g., t-test, ANOVA, ANCOVA etc.), it is likely that this article is either not a quantitative study or not an actual research report but a summary of a study, in which case you must select another article.
