The Results and Discussion Sections in the Research Proposal Since you will not typically be carrying out your research proposal, you may be wondering how you will
fill out your results section. There are four items that can be included. 1) Since you created the design for
the Method section, you can select the appropriate statistic. 2) You can include the alpha level (of .05). 3)
You know how many subjects you need, so df can be calculated. 4) Thus, you can also calculate the
critical value needed to reject the null hypothesis. The Discussion section should explain three aspects: 1) what the results mean, in "everyday" language
(practical versus research significance), 2) the strengths and the limitations of the study, and 3) future
possibilities for research (Martin, 1977). In addition, for this class' project, a discussion of ethics is
needed (e.g., how ethical issues were dealt with). Following the body of the paper is the References page; see the American Psychological Association
(APA) Manual for the correct format (pp. 49-51). The last two items are Tablesand Figures.The research
project must contain one of each (or two tables or two figures). Tables are columns of data (if you do not
carry out the project, do not make up data; the table format can still be set up). Figures include pictures,
graphs, or drawings. Conclusion
This lecture discussed how to use inferential statistics. Two inferential tests were examined in detail: the
t-test for correlated groups and the one-way analysis of variance test. In the last lecture, tips for drawing
appropriate inferences and writing in APA format will be explored.
