Document Summary
Highlight the link between the hypotheses, result and discussion. Predictions based on prior research: there is gender differences (two evidence that there is, What the interpretation of results mean for your discussions section. We conducted study comparing two group (ales and females) We predicted we would see a difference between these two groups ie, difference level of attachment styles (dv- secure, fearful, dismissive, preoccupied) There is differences, but how do we know they are not due to chance. We look at the probability of the difference between the two groups occurring by chance alone. If the p is less than 0. 05 (p<0. 05) it is less likely that the findings occurred by chance: then we can interpret a statistically significance difference. If it is equal to or more than 0. 05, it means the result are too small and too insignificant to find it - statistically significant.
