Research Article Analysis (t-<\/strong><\/em>Test<\/strong><\/span> and\/or Correlation)<\/b><\/p>\n

This assignment follows the same rationale and format as the
\nprevious Research Article Analysis, with which you are already familiar.<\/p>\n

To receive credit for this analysis, the selected article must
\ninclude one (or more) of the <\/p>\n

following analyses:<\/p>\n

1.    
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>One sample t-<\/em>test<\/span><\/p>\n

2.    
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Independent samples t-<\/em>test<\/span><\/p>\n

3.    
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Related samples t-<\/em>test<\/span><\/p>\n

4.    
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Correlation matrix with the interpretation of
\ncoefficients<\/p>\n

Log on to our online library databases, and locate an
\nonline, full-text, peer-reviewed,          empirical research article related to your
\ncurrent field of study or future job (testing children with austism\/school psychology). The research  article must be a first-hand
\nreport of      research and cannot be a meta-analysis or review   article.  The
\nresearch in the article     must collect data from human research participants.The research article must include an introduction, method, results, and discussion   section to   be appropriate for this.                 assignment. A case study, single-subject
\ndesign, or other article type that does not            present quantitative data analysis
\n(i.e., the procedures  we are learning in this course) is   not appropriate for
\nthe assignment. All articles submitted for the Research Article Analysis
\nassignments should include the statistical analyses requested that we are computing in    this course (i.e., at least one of those stated above).<\/p>\n

After identifying and reading the article, respond to the
\nfollowing items in essay format.     These topics will help you identify and apply
\ncourse content from the text to actual             research  in your area that is important
\nto you. This process will assist you in connecting   statistical concepts to
\ninformation and research that will guide your future practice.<\/p>\n

First, at the top of the page, write the citation for the
\narticle in APA style (see pages 174-205 of your APA style manual). (-5 points
\nif not provided)<\/p>\n

Second, upload an electronic copy of the article with your
\nassignment so I can review the article. Assignments will not be graded without
\nthe original article to accompany the <\/p>\n

analysis.<\/p>\n

Next, as the body of your essay, state, define, and explain
\nthe following information as it     pertains to your specific article. Write your
\nresponse in essay form using complete              sentences that are logically connected.
\nDo not create a bulleted list of sentences. You may slightly reorder the points
\nbelow to improve the flow of your essay. <\/p>\n

Do not use direct quotes or close paraphrases from the
\narticle. Direct quotes, close             paraphrases, or plagiarized work will receive no
\ncredit. The Research Article Analysis will   be reviewed for originality prior to
\ngrading.
