Week 7 – Assignment: Summarize And Evaluate A Peer-Reviewed Journal Article

Now, write a summary of the research, including background  information on the topic, the main hypotheses, methods, results, and the  conclusions drawn by the researchers. In addition to this summary, be  sure to address the following in your paper:

• Describe the variables used in the analysis, along with the level of  measurement (i.e., nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio) for each  variable.
• Explain why the researchers used chi-square to analyze the data. In  other words, how does the level at which each variable is measured  determine which analysis is appropriate?  Please support your answer to  this question using the course materials or other scholarly resources.
• Did the authors use a diverse group of participants (e.g., various  ages, races, etc.) in their research? You should describe some  characteristics of the sample used in the research.
