ARTICLE REVIEW

Write a summary of the article in your own words as if you were describing the article to a friend or family member. In your summary be sure to answer the following questions, not necessarily in this order:
• What was the research about?
• How did the researchers conduct the research? How did they recruit participants? Describe the participants who made up the sample? What did the researchers ask participants to do?
• What kind of research method did the researchers follow (e.g., correlational study, experiment)? Briefly explain how you can tell it is that type of research.
• What did the researchers find? How did the findings fit with what the researchers predicted (hypothesized)?
• What might be an alternative explanation for the research findings or a limitation to the research?
• How might the findings be relevant to your life or your reader's life? How can the findings help explain or address a current social issue or problem? How can the findings be applied to possible personal issues faced by you or your reader?
