Homework answers / question archive / Rationale – what motivated this paper? Why do the authors think this is an important question to study, and why do they think they will see a specific pattern of results? (5 points) Hypothesis – what are the researchers hypothesizing? What pattern of results are they predicting they will find? Note that they may not specifically say “We hypothesize that…”, so to identify the hypothesis you’ll have to think about the argument they are building and predictions that follow

Hypothesis – what are the researchers hypothesizing? What pattern of results are they predicting they will find? Note that they may not specifically say “We hypothesize that…”, so to identify the hypothesis you’ll have to think about the argument they are building and predictions that follow. (5 points)

 Method – how are the researchers testing their hypothesis? Who is the population? If it is an experiment, what is the independent variable, and what is the dependent variable? If it is a correlation, what is the predictor variable(s) and what is/are the outcome variable(s)? (5 points)
