Background Research and Preparation

Developing your introduction literature review
Part 1: Background Research and Preparation
Review the sample Experimental Student Papers provided in the Experiment Paper Assignment Submission**Submission Page
Review the Introduction Section of the Fall 2021 Experimental Paper Information and Outline
Part 2: Locating Articles
Locate, read, and analyze 10 empirical studies that are directly studying one or more of your selected variables for the study, which can be used for your Literature Review.
Locate additional articles, including popular press material that may help with the opening paragraph of your Introduction.
Part 3: Building a Draft for your introduction
Following the outline provided above, construct a thorough and complete Introduction, which presents the importance of research on COVID and your three specific variables of interest, provides a thorough literature review of the articles you have located, and closes with a general description of your three research questions and hypotheses, along with the empirical support for those predictions.

Developing your method
Part 1: Revision Work
Review the feedback that was provided on your Introduction and make revisions as needed. (You may also want to submit your paper to the Writing Center for feedback as well.
Part 2: Background Research and Preparation
Review the sample Experimental Student Papers provided in the Experiment Paper Assignment Submission** Submission Page
Review the Method Section of the Fall 2021 Experimental Paper Information and Outline
Part 3: Building a Draft for your Method
Following the outline provided above, construct a thorough and complete Method, which thoroughly describes the sample and the sampling methods used to recruit the sample, outlines all of the materials with detailed descriptions, describes the procedure followed by participants as they completed the study, and outlines the data analysis and statistical analyses that will be used to test your hypotheses.
Post your revised Introduction and Method in the Discussion Forum for peer critique in a word document, which can allow for Comments.
**Please note that you will not have all of the participant demographics for this subsection until you run the analyses. This will require you to skip ahead to the next lab activity where the instructions are posted along with some resources to help guide you through the data analysis.
