The second part requires you to specify how you might operationally define the IVs and DVs that you plan to investigate in your group research project. As with all assignments, we expect that you will work independently of the rest of members of your group. You will have the opportunity to share what you've done with your group next week. Try to choose the paper that you feel is most relevant to your research project.
Many papers report more than one experiment.
If the paper you select has more than one experiment, select the one that you believe is most important or that is most relevant to your research project. Note that many experiments manipulate more than just a single IV within the same experiment. We'll talk about the advantages of doing so later in the course. Sometimes experiments may measure more than just one DV as well. There is no need to rewrite the entire Method section of the paper.
