B. WHAT TO WRITE
Your written report should follow the following format, and be typed and double-spaced. 
a. Begin with a cover page in APA format. 
b. In the first paragraph, answer these questions:
1) What is the title of the first research study you participated in?
2) Who are the researchers, and from where? 
3) What are the goals of the research study, or what questions is it trying to answer?
4) In what ways does the research study address potential concerns that participants might have? How
does it protect participants’ confidentiality?
c. In the second paragraph, answer these questions:
1) What are three independent variables from the study? Recall from class that these are usually the
questions asking about demographic data, such as gender, age, and so forth.
2) What are the attributes for each of those three independent variables?
3) What are three dependent variables from the study? Remember that these are usually the questions
relating to the research study’s topic.

are open-ended, where you write in the answer rather than choosing from options, state that no
attributes were provided.)
