Conduct a literature search and choose one article that interests you. After reading the article, write a three- to four-page paper that identifies whether each of the following was a strength or weakness in the introduction and discussion sections of the article, and give an example to support each argument:

1.       Did the introduction: Describe the problem and explain why it is important to conduct new research to address the problem? Integrate previous research that is relevant to the research conducted to address the problem? State the hypotheses being tested and the research design being used to address the problem?

2.       2. Did the discussion: State whether the findings lend support or nonsupport for the hypothesis that was tested? Give context for how the findings fit with previously published studies? Identify potential limitations of the research and methods, imprecision of measures that may have biased the pattern of results observed, and any potential threats to internal or external validity? Provide a broad summary or commentary on the importance of the findings?
