Homework: QALMRIQ Writing

Purpose of the QALMRIQ

Writing QALMRIQs will help you comprehend the empirical papers that you read on a weekly basis. Empirical papers contain a lot of information and it requires practice to extract the central important questions that are being asked, and the main findings that are being reported.

QALMRIQ is an acronym. It stands for the following components of empirical papers:

What are the broad and specific questions?, what were the alternative hypotheses, what was the logic of the design, what was the method, what were the results, what inferences about the specific and broad question can be made from the results, what's the next question?

QALMRIQ is a guide to focus your reading so that you can identify these aspects of the articles you read. If you can clearly identify all of these aspects of a journal article, then you are on your way to comprehending the research you read about. The best way to ensure your comprehension is complete is to write it out.

Task

Writing a QALMRI for any research paper is simply writing short answers to each of these questions using clear and concise language. It is a condensed, short-form, version of the research. You should think of this as an efficient way to summarize the paper. If someone hadn't read the paper, they should be able to get the gist of the paper from your QALMRIQ. You should not copy and paste any sections of the article- these summaries must be entirely in your own words to reflect your own understanding of the content in the article.

To be even more specific, your task is to answer these questions for the paper that you read:

Question: What was the broad question? What was the specific question?

Alternative hypotheses: What were the hypotheses?

Logic: If hypothesis #1 was true, what was the predicted outcome? What was the predicted outcome if hypothesis #2 was true?

Method: What was the experimental design?

Results: What was the pattern of data? What was the main finding?

Inferences: What can be concluded about the hypotheses based on the data? What can be concluded about the specific and broad question?

Question: What new questions arise from these results? What's the next step in the research? What remains unknown with regard to the original broad/specific questions?

How long is a QALMRIQ? Long enough to answer each question with clear and brief sentences.
