• Full Data Collection: You will specify the date that you will have your full data ready to analyze. This means all data inputted into SPSS and ready to analyze. (EMAIL SENT—RESPONSE:)
• Data Analysis Plan: You will send me a plan as to what you will specifically analyze and the type of statistic you are going to use. This can be short, but it needs to be completed in consultation with your mentor so I know that the plan is solid. (EMAIL WILL BE SENT ONCE MY MENTOR RESPONDS.)
• Result Section Draft: If you have results, report them as appropriate using proper reporting format (you learned this in sophomore lab). Do not, under any circumstances, copy and paste SPSS Regression or t-test output into your paper. You should, however, include relevant graphs and figures (make sure they look good… no gray SPSS backgrounds). For many of you, the results section will be the shortest section of the paper… that is OK. If your results are not yet collected, you may leave blank spaces for t and p values, and put in blank tables with only column headings labeled.

(WILL UPDATE ONCE I GET THAT EMAIL)

• Discussion Section and Reference Page: This is where you interpret your results. Substantively, what did you find and what does it mean? How does it fit into the existing literature? And, most importantly, what are the possibilities for future research? If your data collection is not complete, write your discussion section as if your hypothesis is confirmed. Use APA format for your reference page. Every item on your reference should be cited in your paper.

Single space your entries and use hanging format.
