Choose one of the papers that you identified as
relevant in your first assignment. The chosen paper
needs to have at least two studies in it. Read it
carefully. If you have decided to switch topics, your
chosen paper for this assignment needs to be on
your new topic.
2. 1-2 paragraphs, using
your own words (do not rely on the abstract).
3. Identify the methods used in that paper to the best of
your ability (e.g., Study 1 uses an experimental
design, Study 2 uses a longitudinal design).
4. Identify how key constructs are being
operationalized and measured, separately for each
study.
5. In about a paragraph or two, reflect on which of
these designs, constructs and operational definitions
might be applicable to your own research question
and why. How might you extend or improve on them in your proposal?
I have included my earlier paper for reference.
