Please read instructions carefully
-For your final lab, you should suggest an experiment where you manipulate the IV and measure the DV.
-For the lab proposal we need to hear a lot more about the proposed method. Especially specifics as to how the independent and dependent variables will be defined

Lab Report
Throughout your discussion forum assignment you will have developed a methodology in order to test the hypothesis/research question that you have chosen. The lab report is based on that research question. It’s important that your hypothesis/research question lends itself to being able to complete this report.
Though you will be writing a lab report including pre-determined sections, note that you are not required to test and provide real results. You must demonstrate your ability to perform and understand statistical tests using SPSS.
Note: Your course material has provided you with numerous resources that will be helpful in developing and writing this material. You may also wish to review The Lab Report , a website with clear and comprehensive information.
Part 1: Lab Report Proposal
You are required to submit a lab report proposal (approximately 2 pages, typed, double spaced, or roughly 600-700 words) including your research question, a brief literature review, and a proposed method for the planned research.
Part 2: Lab Report
Criteria
The lab report will be written as a mini research article and will include the following sections:
Abstract (5 points): 150 words. Must summarize the study and give a clear statement of the objective and whether that objective was met. (Note: Since you are not required to test and provide real data, you must act like your hypothesis was supported and communicate this in your abstract.)
Introduction (15 points): 2-3 double-spaced pages. Must demonstrate the ability to synthesize previous findings, justify the research questions posed, critically evaluate previous methods, and summarize theory behind previous findings. (Note: You should be considering between 7 and 10 references throughout your report.)
Methods (10 points): Must follow the sections provided in APA format. Must be clear and be replicable.
Results (50 points): Must clearly state the type of analysis used. Must include post-hocs where necessary. Must state if data met assumptions for the analysis and how they were addressed. Must include at least 1 figure/table, but not exceed 3. (See more detailed information about the Results section below.)
Discussion (15 points): 2-3 pages. Must summarize hypothesis/research questions and indicate if they were supported by data. Must demonstrate ability to integrate findings into current theory. Must identify limitations in the methodology. Must indicate at least 1 future research question.
A good piece of advice for writing your final lab report is that you read through all the modules, asking yourself “How can I apply this to my Lab Report?” for each module.
Assignments must be in APA format! (5 points)
We stress the importance of avoiding plagiarism! Submit only your own work, reference all quotations, and put things in your own words.
Results
Your results section is where you will demonstrate your ability and understanding to perform statistical tests using SPSS. For this section you will do the following:
Create an SPSS file that would be necessary to input the hypothetical data that would be generated from the methods you have developed. This may be difficult to conceive until you have done your project, but some resources are provided within your online course materials.
Input fake (but realistic) data into your SPSS data file. The data must at least support your interaction. You must generate a dataset that has a sample size sufficient to give the study enough power to detect a significant effect. Therefore, depending on the methods you selected, this may be different for each individual based on the research question and methods chosen.
You will then do an entire analysis that would be necessary to test all of the hypothesis/research questions discussed in your introduction. This is where it gets interesting! All significant effects must be followed up with relevant post-hoc analysis.
Graphs/tables must be appropriately used in the results section to convey results properly to readers.
