(*NOTE* I also attached a PDF of the article that you have to read and analyze. This is super important! Also, I attached the assignment details and format as well as included them below just in case. There is only 1 source to site as it is the PDF article that you will read and analyze. So for the works cited page, it is just the article source in APA format.
thank you so much for your help!
Assignment Details & Format
Use your own words to discuss the answers using information from the article. DO NOT use direct quotes or copied material from the article. Instead, paraphrase the source material using YOUR OWN WORDS and cite appropriately in APA format. (Links to an external site.) Do not include the questions. Your paper should be written in paragraph form; it should NOT be a list of the questions and your responses.
In a 3 to 4-page essay, briefly describe and then critically analyze all of the following components of the study:
What is the research problem? Another way to think about this is: Why was this study conducted?
What is/are the hypothesis/hypotheses stated by the author(s)? If not stated directly, what does the hypothesis appear to be?
A. Who were the study participants? How many were there and how were they recruited? B. What were the inclusion/exclusion criteria for selecting the participants?
What was the study design?
What were the main study results?
Did the results support the authors hypothesis/hypotheses? Why or why not?
What was/were the limitation(s) and strength(s) discussed by the author(s)? These are usually in the Discussion/Conclusion section of the article. Were there any additional strengths and weaknesses not discussed by the author(s)? If so, discuss with a professional critique and do not use overly personal opinion-based judgements. A. What conclusion(s) did the author(s) make? B. How can the research findings be applied? If no applications were suggested by the authors, provide ideas for how the findings could be applied. C. Based on this study and past research discussed in the Introduction, what directions should researchers take for future study of this topic?
