he Results section reports what you found simply and objectively, without subjective interpretations of why you found these results or what they may mean. [MO 8.3]

Instructions

1. Analyze the data collected for your project and report your findings. Refer to journal articles, the course textbook, and the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association to aid you in determining how to report your findings. Your results need to be detailed and sufficiently comprehensive. Model the formatting used in journal articles, as much of what you see is applicable to your own project.
2. Organize, summarize, visually display, consider, and evaluate the results obtained in your research project.
3. Make the determination of whether your results are statistically significant. Without this, your results are incomplete.
4. As part of your data summary and analysis, indicate if further work and research is needed. Remember, this is being formatted as a Results section. Things that do not belong in a Results section include: raw data, explanations of how statistics work, step-by-step statistical calculations, interpretation and/or discussion of results, and any explanations of why the results matter. Any consideration of your results should take place in the Discussion section of your paper. It is the appropriate location to interpret the meaning of the results, put them into context, and explain why they matter.
