The Research Process for an Original Research Project. It’s often instructive for
students themselves to go through the components of the research process as
seen in Table 1-2 (p. 4). Students can go through the first 4-5 components
(Problem, Literature Review, Theoretical Considerations, Hypothesis, and
Research Design) for a topic of interest to them (see handout entitled The
Research Process for an Original Research Project).
Students need to have access to the full text of the articles in order to answer
the questions, so instructors could either make the articles available (e.g., on
Reserve at the library) or have students find the articles themselves at their
library (this may not be feasible if students need to use Interlibrary Loan).
The article for Chapter 1 is on handshakes and how aspects of the handshake
(e.g., strength, vigor) relate to gender, personality, and first impressions.
The questions for this Article Review focus primarily on the components of the
research process (see Table 1-2 on p. 4). There is some deception in this study,
so it could be used in Chapter 2 as well. In addition, a correlational research
design is used, so this article could be used in Chapter 4.
