Identify your participants and explain what you are doing with your participants.

For each of the studies:
1. Identify your hypothesis
2. Identify your participants and explain what you are doing with your participants
3. Identify your operationally defined variables (two for each study)
4. Write a paragraph or two to describe all aspects of each study, right up to the point where you would actually do the study.
5. Imagine you did the studies and that your hypotheses were supported. Include a simple statement of what conclusion can be drawn from each study.
6. Include a final statement about how such psychological findings could be helpful to students.
Finally, write a single paragraph to explain the differences between the findings of your two studies (i.e., how correlation and experiments are different)
