The teacher is looking for a brief (paragraph) summary of an empirical paper related to our class study, akin to how you would write about it in your introduction. For example, instead of telling me all of the measures used and the exact statistics, you would tell me only enough details about the basic design, procedure, and results so that I can understand what the study found (we’ll talk about how to strike the appropriate level of detail). Relate the article to our current study. Points will be allocated as follows: 10 points for correct APA style citation (the full citation as it will appear in your References section), 10 points for summary of design of study (e.g., “In one experiment,” or “In a correlational study”), 20 points for summary of findings, and 10 points for relating back to your hypotheses. If a paper includes more than one study, please focus on ONE of them (the one most relevant to your hypotheses). In this second article summary, you also need to include your hypotheses, so I can provide feedback on them (and so I can ensure that you are properly relating your article back to your hypotheses).
The one study I’m focusing on is gratitude.
I have attached the article I chose to use which is “Are Some Ways of Expressing Gratitude More Beneficial Than Others?” and our class study article she wants us to refer to which is “The proximal experience of gratitude”
I also attached a document that helps with the hypothesis. And the two dependent variables i chose was gratitude and indebtness.
Lastly I attached an example my teacher provided for the summary.
