| The results section for this experiment are somewhat
complicated. If
you have any trouble with this section, then please come see me
immediately.
If you find any significant interactions between the IV's and your
DV's,
then you ARE REQUIRED to have a table or figure for each
significant or marginally
significant interaction. Your APA manual has several examples of how a
table could look. You must also interpret any significant interactions.
YOU
WILL RECEIVE AN AUTOMATIC 60% IF YOU DO NOT INTERPRET A SIGNIFICANT
INTERACTION.
Results The effect size r was calculated for all
appropriate analyses (Rosenthal, 1991). Manipulation Check of Social Activity (This is a margin heading: Format it appropriately) A 2 (social
activity) x 2
(applicant appearance) analysis of variance (ANOVA) was calculated on
participants
ratings of the applicant's level of social activity. There (was or was not) a significant
main effect for social activity, F(x, xxx) = xx.xx, p =
.xxx (r = .xx). Participants who read about a
socially active
applicant rated that applicant as being ... socially active (M = x.xx, SD = x.xx) than did participants reading about a socially inactive applicant (M = xx.xx, SD = x.xx).
Note: You must tell whether each effect is significant or not significant. For siginificant effects, you must describe them using means and standard deviations. For additional information, you should refer to the following links: |
