Procedure – research design Little info about procedure Not a clear procedure Stated research design that tests the hypotheses Procedure section clearly lays out research design. The research design provides a good test of the hypotheses Procedure - Materials No or little info about materials Vague info about materials Materials (e.g. measures, manipulations) make sense given the hypotheses and research design. Measures clearly labeled as independent or dependent variables. Well thought out materials. Materials selected make sense given the hypotheses and research design and thought was put into controls variables and choosing measures that are well-established. Measures clearly labeled as independent or dependent variables. Proposed analyses No info about proposed analyses Include proposed analyses, but they don’t make sense given the hypotheses Proposed analyses make sense given the hypotheses. Well thought out statistical analyses given hypotheses. Analyses take into consideration all measures and manipulations in the study.
