THE DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY GUIDE TO WRITING RESEARCH REPORTS
The following set of guidelines provides psychology students at Essex with the basic information for structuring and formatting reports of research in psychology. During your time here this will be an invaluable reference. You are encouraged to refer to this document each time you write a lab report. The writing of laboratory reports is an essential part of any practical module in Psychology. This is because psychologists (and more generally most scientists) write accounts of their studies using a standard format, which makes explicit certain aspects of the study. There are two main reasons for doing this:
(1) Ease of communication: it is easier to find what you want from a study if it is written in …show more content…
The mean (standard deviation) solution times for the primed and unprimed conditions were 45.0 (12.3) and 56.3 (14.2) seconds, respectively. The effect size for this difference is large (d = 0.85). An independentsamples t-test established that the solution times in the primed condition were quicker than the solution times in the unprimed condition, t(32) = 2.48, p = .019.
(2) The mean number of seconds taken to complete the six problems was calculated in order to produce a solution time for each participant. The mean (standard deviation) solution times for the primed and unprimed conditions were 49.0 (12.3) and 56.3 (14.2) seconds, respectively. An independent samples t-test showed that there was no significant difference between the mean solution times of the primed and unprimed conditions, t(32) = 1.60, p = .119, d = 0.55 (medium effect size).
(3) Solution times (in seconds) were calculated separately for each participant by obtaining the mean completion time for each of the six problem solving tasks. The mean (standard deviation) solution times were 38.5 (12.3) seconds for the primed condition and 56.3 (14.2) seconds
