Methods: – Participants: For this class, the requirement is a minimum of 60 participants per condition– so 180 participants minimum for a study with 3 conditions (high/low/control groups). Also, you could cut sentences 2-4 in this section, and simply substitute them with a statement on what demographic variables you’ll collect data on. For example: “I will collect data on the age, ethnicity and gender of participants” (in your own words).
Finally, make sure to specify where you’ll collect data from will you collect from universities, advertising through bulletin boards on campus? An online survey available to the general population?
Telephone calls to households? – Materials: You need more detail on the IV here.
What were your 3 (or more) conditions? How are you manipulating social media use? For your dependent variable measure are you using 4 different surveys to measure dishonesty?
You only need to use one scale to measure your dependent variable. If you’re having trouble finding a scale, let me know and we can talk through some options! –
Procedure: You need a lot more detail here. In particular, make sure to describe what activities participants do when they participate in each of your IV conditions. – Analysis: Wording is confusing in this section; check for grammar/spelling mistakes.
Briefly describe what the omnibus test will do; make sure to specify that Turkey’s HSD test will only be performed if the results from the ANOVA are statistically significant.
