When you're reading journal articles, look for key information like:
- What are the main hypotheses?
- Why is this research important?
- What are the theoretical perspectives of the authors?
- What is the sample size?
- Were the research measures and procedures appropriate for studying the stated hypothesis?
- What were the key research findings?
- Are the authors' conclusions supported by the data? Why or why not?
- Did the authors show any bias?
