Description:

THIS IS A GROUP ASSIGNMENT TO BE SUBMITTED BY YOUR SECOND GROUP.

Submit a comprehensive but brief report of the Pilot Study on Niceness and Happiness.

As we discussed in class, the expectations for this second report are higher than for the first report. Here are some of the points I went over in class:

- As for APA Report #1, follow the general guidelines for APA reports that are given in the textbook.
- As for APA Report #1, review the general handout on guidelines for written work and the handout on writing and grammar.
- Include all sections, including an abstract.
- Include at least one citation and reference. Groups should discuss this: go to library and do a search for relevant literature.
- include a filled-out copy of the Grading Sheet for APA Reports along with your report.
- Submit the report in a pocket folder. Put the report itself (stapled!) in the left pocket. Put the grading sheet in the right pocket.
- Also include all written (typed and handwritten) drafts and all raw data in the right pocket of the folder.
- Be sure to label all sections and subsections of the report (there are 3 subsections under Method!).
- Review your report to be sure the appropriate things are in the appropriate sections: all methods under Method, all results under Results, NO commentary or discussion in the methods or results section (all commentary and discussion in either introduction or discussion section).
- Include at least one table and one figure, with proper captions and labels.
- Use false author names. Do not put your real names on the Title Page.
- Add a final sheet at the end of the paper that contains your real names and the standard course information that would go in a standard heading.

WE WILL DISCUSS IN CLASS what your hypotheses should be and what data analysis you should do.
