QUESTIONS:
1. What was the purpose of the study?
2. In a few sentences, try to describe what was done methodologically in the study. This should be simplistic compared to all the details provided in the paper. The goal is for the reader to have a sense of what participants did in the study and how things were measured.
- Example: "College students were randomly assigned to a pain or non-pain condition. Those in the pain condition were asked to hold their hand to a cold bar until they could no longer do so, whereas those not in the pain condition were asked to hold their hand to a normal metal bar for 5 minutes (as a control task). The participants then answered some surveys, which included Beck's Depression Inventory."
3. What were the results of the study? What are the implications of these results? If there are many outcome variables described in the study, pick the most important or interesting one to describe.
- Example: "After running an independent-samples t-test, they found that those in the pain task (vs. not) reported higher depressive symptoms."
4. What is a potential future direction or additional research question that this paper leaves unanswered?
