Discussion Post: Article Critique- Correlation and Regression
The readings focus on the concepts of correlation and regression. In this discussion we will apply those concepts to the review and critique of Wagenheim & Anderson (2008). For information on how to critique a research article, see the Coughlan et al. (2007) from your resources and UIS (n.d.) from your resources.
In the body of your posting, include an overview of the following topics:
1) Research question: State the research question for the study.
2) Methods and study design: Describe the basic methods used, including the variables, sampling methods, data collection, etc.
3) Data analysis: Summarize the statistical tests conducted, the results obtained from each test, and the conclusions regarding the research question.
4) Critique: Critique the results of the study, paying specific attention to the appropriateness of the analyses conducted, any biases or assumptions that were made, practical significance of the results, and recommendations for improving upon the study (methods or analyses).
5) Summary: Provide a brief summary of the study's findings in 2-3 sentences. Do not use any numbers or statistical terms, but provide a review that would make sense to someone who has not studied research methods or statistics.
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
