Guidelines for Data Analysis Paper
This detailed outline should assist you in writing your data
analysis paper. It is not necessary that you stick to this outline
exactly but use it as a guide. Each of the areas should be
addressed, but depending on the topic, some papers will
necessitate spending more time in some areas rather than others.
You are graded on the following:
Grammar
Is the paper well written and free of errors?
Is the paper properly cited?
Completeness
Did you review 5 relevant articles?
Did you discuss all areas listed below?

Understanding Results
Do you understand the output from SPSS?
Did you use the most relevant statistical test for your data?
Did you explain your results?
1. Describe what the topic is and why it is interesting and
worthy of research (approx. 1 page)
This is done in the introduction and the beginning paragraphs of
your paper. Your hypothesis should concern an interesting and
important question.
a. Explain why this is an important topic, one worth studying.
b. Do this in your introduction to catch your reader’s attention.
2. Review the relevant literature (approx 2-3 pages)
Once you have compiled 5 articles, create a summary of what
others have found about your question. These sources should be
scholarly in nature, from books and academic journals.
“Scholarly” excludes newspaper articles, magazine articles, and
websites. These can be used, but they are extra sources.
a. Demonstrate your familiarity and knowledge of other
important studies that inform your research question.
b. Compare and contrast theoretical approaches for explaining
your particular research question.
c. If relevant, discuss how others have defined variables of
interest.
3. Research Methods (approx. 3-4 pages)
a. Identify and explain your research question and

hypothesis
1. Spell out the particular research question that guides your
study.
2. Identify the hypothesis that enables you to answer your
research question,
and be sure to specify both your independent and dependent
variables.
3. Explain how you will measure your variables: Provide
operational definitions for your IV, DV and control
variables.
4. Discuss the reliability and validity of your measures.
b. Data
Explain what specific data collection technique or
techniques was used to carry out your research. Most of you
will use one of the survey provided but you must also
consider the following:
What other method could you use? Are there any better
ones?
Discuss the sample in the survey (in the codebook)
Specify the questions used (in the codebook)
Identify your unit of analysis (i.e. who or what should be
observed, surveyed, interviewed, etc)
If necessary, discuss any particular problems with the
sample.
4. Results (approx 2 pages, tables do not count)

Run the appropriate statistics and present the results in a way
that makes sense. You must include relevant tables from SPSS.
You must explain the results. If they are not as you would
expect, state why that might be and offer an alternative
explanation/hypothesis.
5. List of Sources (last page)
Make sure you have a works cited list and properly cite these
sources throughout the paper. If you do not properly cite you
will end up with a failing grade.
