For these assignments, you will research a journal article that studies a topic related to marriage coaching. You will review the findings of the article and relate it back to a coaching setting. An empirical research article is one where the writers have researched a hypothesis and conducted a study. You will want to summarize the methods (what they did), results (what they found), and the discussion (what they think about what they found) of the study. If an article doesn’t cover these three sections, it is most likely not an empirical study and you will need to find a different article to review.
