Tables: Format a table (or tables) correctly to present part of the analysis accurately and concisely. Figures: Design figure(s) clearly to accurate describe a relevant aspect of the results. The heading for this section is centered with upper and lower case letters. You should indicate concisely what results you found in this research. Use notation such as: F(2, 10)=13. 78, p=. 001 n=50 This section should include: Results from the factor analysis the ANOVA the reliability(Cronbach’s alpha, pg. 100 in text)

Discussion Implications of the study: Assuming the expected results are obtained , discuss the implications of these results. Briefly mention any remaining problems that you anticipate in the study. Link you findings back to theoretical hypothesis that you discussed in your Introduction. Note: this does not have to be a consistent finding. Your can try to refute some of the research literature. You should describe the conclusions you reach(assuming you got the results described in the Results section). You should related these conclusions back to the level of the construct and the general problem area that you described in the Introduction. You should also discuss the overall stregth of the research proposed(for example a general discussion of the strong and weak validity areas) and should present some suggestions of possible future research that would be sensible based on the results of this work.

Abstract: the abstract is 125 words or less and presents a concise picture of the proposed research. Include major constructs and hypotheses. The abstract is in the first section of the paper. The abstract is limited to one page, double spaced. At the top of the page, centered, you should have the word “Abstract. ” The abstract itself should be written in paragraph form and should be a concise summary of the entire paper including the problem, major hypotheses, the name of the design or a short description (no design notion here), the major results, and the major conclusions.
