ABSTRACT
For an experiment or causalcomparative study, the usual form for a title is "The Effects of A on B" or "The Effectiveness of A in Producing Changes in B," or "The Influence of A on B." Example 3 contains two titles. The first one is for an experiment, and the second one is for a causal-comparative study. Example 3
The Influence of Birth Order on the Development of Psychomotor Skills Among Children
Finally, avoid referring to anticipated results in the title. While you may discuss the anticipated results when you introduce a hypothesis in a proposal, results seldom belong in the title. Example 4 illustrates this. Example 4
Improved title: The Effects of the Wisconsin Program on the Employability of Welfare Mothers
