Hypotheses and Article Summary Step 1 As mentioned in class and in the text, a hypothesis is a declarative statement about the relationship between variables. Your task is to create a testable hypothesis. This can be based on any area that you are interested in exploring. Be sure to clearly state which variables you are referencing and the relationship between them. An example is below. Children who experienced traumatic brain injuries during infancy will be more violent during early adolescence than those children who did not. Step 2 You will use the UCC library databases and/or google scholar to select 2 articles based on your hypothesis. You can access the library databases via the link below. Your articles should come from peer reviewed journals only. Peer-reviewed journals – Articles are written by experts and are reviewed by several other experts in the field before the article is published in the journal in order to ensure the articles quality. (The article is more likely to be scientifically valid, reach reasonable conclusions, etc.) In most cases the reviewers do not know who the author of the article is, so that the article succeeds or fails on its own merit, not the reputation of the expert.
