Selected two empirical articles on a research topic of interest. Provided a summary of both articles, including the following:

Explained whether the authors used a population or a sample. Explained how this could have affected the results. Analyzed and justified whether a sample was used and whether it was representative of the entire population.
Described the hypotheses of the studies. Stated the null and research hypotheses.
Described the major independent and dependent variables. Described one additional independent and one dependent variable to provide novel information.
Provided an example of a measure of central tendency and explained why the authors chose this measure as opposed to the other measures. Explained how the results might have differed if the authors had chosen another measure.
Provided an example of a measure of variability and explained why the authors chose this measure as opposed to the other measures. Explained how the results might have differed if the authors had chosen another measure.
Selected a result that includes the mean and the standard deviation, converted the values to a z-score, and interpreted how this score compares to the average.
On the basis of the statistics used and the authors’ interpretation of the results, described which study did a better job and justified your stand with a specific example.
