The journal article has five sections-abstract,
introduction, methodology, results and conclusion. The final subsection of the introduction
includes the study’s purpose, the rationale for that purpose, and the specific
hypothesis or hypotheses. The previous
subsection should naturally lead up to this point. A reader should be able to understand what is
being tested and why. There should not
be a “surprise hypothesis” or something that was not covered under
the background subsection. Each
hypothesis should have a clear rationale describing the logic behind the
predictions. Keep in mind that sometimes
the hypotheses will be spelled out for you; other times, they may be listed as
predictions or “we believe such and such will happen”.
The Methodology Section should be able to find a detailed description
of the study-how many participants, the age of the participants, how long is
the study, where the study is being conducted,
what measures will be used to collect the data (surveys, questionnaires,
etc.)
What research method (design) is being used-correlational/experimental. If it is a correlational you will see the
words-association, relationship, increase/decrease. Identify the variables to show what type of
correlation (positive, negative or no correlation; if it is experimental
identify the variables-independent/dependent variable, experimental/control
group, within groups/between groups, double-blind/single blind
