    Assignment Details

    For this component, you will need to choose one of the research topics from the list below.
    Your task is to develop an hypothesis based on your chosen research topic and to design a
    true experiment to test your hypothesis. You will then ‘write up’ your experiment in the
    form of an APA style methods section containing the following sections: design statement,
    participants, materials, procedures, and use of variables. this assignment must be
    submitted via Turnitin.

    Research Topics
    1. The relationship between the alcohol and risk taking behaviour.
    2. The relationship between social media use and self-esteem.
    3. The relationship between video games and aggressive behaviour.
    4. The relationship between sleep and mood.
    5. The relationship between physical activity and cognitive capacity.

    What are the assessment criteria?

    The following criteria will be assessed: design statement, participants, materials,
    procedure, and use of variables.

    Helpful Advice For Component 2

    • The best way to approach this component is to imagine that you have designed a
    study, collected the data and you writing it up as a methods section for an APA journal.

    • The purpose of the methods section is to tell the reader what you did and how you
    did it. It should always be written in the past tense.

    • When thinking about the amount of detail that you need to include, a good guide is
    that another researcher should be able to replicate your experiment based on what you
    have written.

    • A good place to start is to look at methods sections of other papers that have used
    a similar design or materials to what you have used.

    • Each section has a similar weighting (2 – 6 marks out 20), so your word count
    should be spread relatively evenly across each section (i.e.., 80 – 100 words per section).

    surname and the assessment number, for e.g.,
    Smith-Component2 x

    Word count range: 500 – 600 words (maximum of 600 words, penalties apply)

    Weighting:
    The Portfolio contributes 60% to the final grade for this course.
    Component 2 contributes 40% to the final grade for this course
    (i.e. 40/60 of the Portfolio mark).

    Reference list required: A separate reference list is not required. If you need to cite a reference, include the Author(s) and year in the text.

    • Design Statement
    The section should give a logical outline of the experiment. It should describe:

    • The hypothesis;
    • The type of design;
    • The independent variable;
    • The dependent variable.

    Suggestion: Do not include too much information about the procedure – the design
    statement should be a clear, concise description of the experiment.
    Participants
    This section should describe the type of participants that took part in the study. It should
    describe:

    • The number of participants and their major demographics (e.g., age, gender, etc.).
    • The inclusion/exclusion criteria that might be relevant to your experiment.
    • A description of how the participants came to do the study – did they volunteer, where

    they paid, etc?
    Suggestion: Avoid including too much information about the participants – only
    describe the demographics and inclusion/exclusion criteria that are critical to your
    study.
    Materials
    This section should describe all of the materials and stimuli used in the experiment. A
    good materials section is written in full English sentences. It should describe:

    • The name(s) of all of the materials used (e.g., scales, questionnaires, equipment);
    • How the equipment works and what it measures;
    • The number of items on scales/questionnaires that are used and the how scores are

    calculated.
    Suggestion: This section should only describe the materials/methods you used (i.e.,
    what they are called and what they measure). It should not include any information
    about how/when they were used – this information should only be described in the
    procedures section (see below).

    Procedure
    This section is the narrative of the experiment. A good procedures section will provide
    sufficient detail so that someone else is able to repeat your experiment exactly as you
    did it. It should describe:

    • How the participants were allocated to groups;
    • Where the experiment took place;
    • When/how the participants were exposed to the independent variable;
    • When the dependent variable was collected;

    Suggestion: Many people write this section as if it were the instructions that were
    given to participants. This is not correct. The procedures section should be a clear
    description of what happened during the experiment and it should be written from the
    viewpoint of the experimenter.

    Use of Data
    This section should include a description of how you would use the data collected
    during the experiment to test your hypothesis. You can describe how you would use
    the data in lay terms – you do NOT need to describe formal statistical analyses.
