SOCB05H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Dependent And Independent Variables
Document Summary
What did i ask in my research; remind us about the questions that motivated our topic. Interpret your data and relate to your research questions. Good conclusion will clearly state in simple term what the data reveal. Who do my conclusion apply to? (larger population?: what did you ask. The best way to do this is to remind you of your research question, hypothesis or objective. Remind yourself that the focus of your research was limited, so the conclusion you draw will also be limited by the factor you examine. Careful with confusing between correlation and causation (things can correlate, however not necessarily the cause of each other) Restate the general issue and hypothesis and show how your findings relate to each of those. Interpret and evaluate your findings (graph, mean, medium, mode ) explain to our readers. Result section: no interpret, only express in words what the graphs, and tables say.
