11/23/2020 APA Style Research Report 2020 APA Style Research Report 2020 Submit Assignment Due Nov 30 by 11:59pm Points 27 Available after Nov 16 at 12am Submitting a file upload File Types pdf The most important step in the research communication process for researchers is to clearly document their research and the contribution it makes to understanding human behaviour in a written manuscript. These written manuscripts are then reviewed by their peers, and (hopefully!) published in a journal. This individual report is designed to give you experience with a part of this process. Reports are to be prepared independently; each team member must prepare a report separately from other team members. Evidence of collaboration or co-writing the reports will result in major deductions from your lab component grade and in severe cases may result in a grade of zero on the lab component. Format: Your report must be written using APA style and must include the following sections: Abstract, Introduction, Method, Results (including at least one graph), Discussion and References (at least 2). lease refer to the Purdue Writing Lab APA Resource (https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/general_format.html) for lots of great resources, tips and tricks on writing an APA style paper, as well as writing samples, and to the APA Citation module for help with citation and references. Please also refer to Appendix A of your Methods in Behavioural Research (Third Canadian ed.) textbook for guidance, as well as a sample APA style paper. PLEASE NOTE: the textbook includes APA 6, which is an older version of the APA style guide. If there is a discrepancy between the textbook and the other sources, use the other sources as they are more up-to-date. Reports must be between 5 and 7 double spaced 8.5 x 11 inch pages (approximately 1500-1700 words). This page limit does NOT include a cover page, abstract, references, graphs, tables or appendices. Exceeding the page limit gives one an unfair advantage over other students, therefore we must stop reading after 7 pages. You must use 12 point Arial, Times New Roman, or Calibri font and margins must be set to 1 inch all around. Your paper should integrate into the introduction section at least 2 references to related empirical journal articles (e.g., to set up a foundation for your hypothesis). Articles can also be used in the discussion section to help put results into context. Submission: Reports are due on the Monday of the last week of classes by 11:59pm. If you fail to do either submission by the deadline, your report will be considered late. You will lose 10% for each day the report is late. 1. Convert your paper to a single .pdf file.
