And lead into a theory – why do we predict the
variables to be related? Theories explain why
Review of the articles, making sure to use
your own words, focusing on their method and results,
using correct APA style citation
What is your hypothesis based upon the
literature reviewed? Specific testable pred.
about how the groups will differ
Method 11 13 15 17 19 20
Participants – what kind of sample did
we use, how many did we end up w in total,
number per group, other relevant
participant information (who was included vs.
excluded?)
Materials– should be very brief, what did
we need to conduct the study?
Procedure – first explain the method,
Demonstrating knowledge of naturalistic observation,
Then talk about operational definitions,
Then talk about procedure

First, explain what inter-observer reliability is,
Then report the value obtained for ICC (the stat for

measure, the SD, and whether you think the variable is normally
distributed, positively skewed or negatively skewed.
