For this assignment I need to conduct a “smile experiment” but a simple hypothetical experiment is fine.
Be sure your submission includes the following critical elements:
* Introduction: Peer-reviewed resources—Include at least one peer-reviewed article for support.
* Introduction: Hypothesis—End with your hypothesis.
* Method: Development/description—Describe what you did. This should be detailed enough that you could hand the paper to a stranger and they could replicate your study exactly.
* Method: Data collection and analysis—Describe the data collection and analysis procedures in detail.
* Method: Participants—Describe your participants. Descriptions must be an estimation only (such as estimating age). DO NOT approach people asking for any information.
* Discussion: Supports/rejects—Write up what you found. State if the data supports or rejects your hypothesis.
* Discussion: Larger conclusion—What larger conclusions could you draw from this data? Are the results generalizable? What are the next steps if someone wanted to continue this research? (Note that this section is not present in the current exemplar but is still expected for this assignment.)
* Discussion: Limitations—What are the limitations of the study that your reader needs to be aware of?
