Assignment 2: Correlation and Bivariate Regression in Practice

In Assignment 2 you will locate a quantitative research article that used a Pearson Correlation or Bivariate Linear Regression to analyze the results. It is OK if other statistics are included in the study – only discuss the correlation or bivariate linear regression. Only report one result, not all of the results in the paper.

Length
You will write a 2 to 3 paragraph (not page) critique of the article you found.

Be sure to
-briefly explain the research question so your readers can follow your discussion.
-explain why the authors used the correlation or bivariate regression (consider the type of research question and the measurement of the variables)
– Explain whether their choice was appropriate – support your position with reference to our course materials
– Explain if and how the authors displayed their data (table, graph, other?)
– Critique their data presentation, indicate whether the table or graph was easy to interpret. Explain why it was either easy or difficult to interpret. You could offer suggestions for data display if none was included.
– use a scholarly tone and APA format
