ABSTRACT

This chapter provides guidelines on empirical research report writing. An empirical report is normally presented in a series of subsections, each of which begins with the title of the subsection as a heading. In the Results section of the report, the data you have collected is summarised and the findings from relevant statistical analyses are reported. When writing up qualitative reports, it is necessary to bear in mind that the subsections may differ from the previously given report format in terms of some of the focus points within the subsections of the report. Summary of format for an experimental report: Title, Abstract, Introduction, Method: design, participants, materials, and procedure, Results, Discussion, References, Appendices. The Reference section should follow the format outlined earlier in this chapter and detailed in. This chapter also provides guidelines for writing undergraduate psychology project. For most psychology degrees run experiments or studies throughout the first two years and, in third year, design own experiment.
