The practice of quantitative research not only involves
statistical calculations and formulas but also involves the
understanding of statistical techniques related to real-world
applications. You might not become a quantitative researcher nor
use statistical methods in your profession but as a consumer,
citizen, and scholar-practitioner, it will be important for you to
become a critical consumer of research, which will empower you to
read, interpret, and evaluate the strength of claims made in
scholarly material and daily news.
For this Assignment, you will critically evaluate a scholarly
article related to mediation.
To prepare
Review the Article Critique Assignment Guide in the Walden
Library, listed in the Week 2 Learning Resources.
Search the Walden Library for a quantitative article that
applies mediation testing.
The Assignment
Write a 2- to 3-page critique of the research you found in the
Walden Library that includes responses to the following
prompts:
Why did the authors use mediation in their multiple regression
model?
Do you think mediation is the most appropriate choice? Why or
why not?
Did the authors display the results in a figure or table?
Does the results table stand alone? In other words, are you able
to interpret the study from it? Why or why not?
