Article 1: Title of the article
Purpose of Study and Hypotheses
A description of the article’s purpose and main hypotheses.
Research Design and Variables
A clear statement of the study’s design: Experimental or correlational? What were the main independent variables (IVs) or predictor variables (PVs)? What was the main dependent variable (DV)?
Participants
Describe the subjects who participated in the study.
Measures
A paragraph in which you mention each key variable in turn, followed by how it was operationalized. (e.g., “The study measured the variable self-compassion using a self-report questionnaire developed by Neff; it had 25 items that were rated on five-point scales.”)
Results
A paragraph in which you describe the main results. If they used regression, you must describe the main relationship as well as what it was controlling for (e.g., “Self-compassion predicted well-being, even when controlling for self-esteem and emotionality”). If it was a factorial design, describe the main effects and interactions.
Conclusions
A short paragraph about the authors’ conclusions.
Your summary should be 500-600 words.
