Harvard School of Business Memory Loss Research Paper For this assignment you will:

Find a dataset in the dataset website link provided at Kaggle.com
Write a paper in the field of psychology that is based on that dataset.

In the paper you must generate one hypothesis involving the variables you chose, and test the hypothesis. To test your hypotheses, you must perform an independent samples t-test. You should also provide a histogram or qqplot of your continuous variable. Please remember that in APA format, tables and figures do not go in the body of the paper. You may not perform an ANOVA, so do not choose a categorical variable with more than two categories. Your paper should follow a logical structure with meaningful results and interpretations.

You need to include the following six sections in your final paper (details are given below):

1.Title Page

2.Introduction

3.Method Section

4.Results Section

5.Discussion Section

6.References

Title Page:

The title page should follow the same format as the title page on the Purdue Owl example paper (URL given above). Be certain to include all of the information (e.g. Title, Name, School Affiliation, Running Header, Page Number, Correct Header)

Introduction:

The introduction serves to familiarize the reader with the project. Provide some reasons as to why the project is interesting, and why the information gained from the study could provide benefit the community at large.

This section will also involve a brief literature review. The literature review should include at least three references. We will look for in-text citations throughout the literature review.

Also include a sentence or two that outlines the exact hypothesis you plan to test. Do not make the reader guess what your hypothesis is. Relate these directly to the three references you used to generate the hypothesis.

Method Section:

This part of the paper requires a Participants, Procedure, and Data Analysis section.

The Participants section should include information about your sample. The more descriptive you are, the better your Participants section will be.

The Procedure section should detail how all of the variables were collected (i.e., the procedure that you followed to collect the data).

The Data Analysis section should outline the statistical procedures that you have chosen for your paper. Mention why an independent samples t-test is appropriate for your data and how the analysis answers the hypotheses you outlined within the Introduction. Make sure you are not applying an independent samples t-test to data that call for a dependent samples t-test. Unless stated elsewhere in the Method section, give brief descriptions of the variables used within the analysis. You should also address the 3 assumptions of an independent samples t-test: normality, homogeneity, and independence. Report the results of the Shapiro-Wilk and Breusch-Pagan tests.

Results Section:

Explain all of the statistics that you have included within the analysis. For t-tests, report all relevant degrees of freedom, standard errors, test statistics, p-values, and the mean and standard deviation of each group in APA format.

Discussion Section:

Summarize the main points from the results section and describe how these results apply to the world at large. The results section really focuses on what was discovered within the sample, and the discussion tries to generalize these results to the population.

Now that you have the knowledge you’ve gained from the results section, what are you excited to know next? Provide future directions that could follow-up this work.

References Section:

Include all citation information from the references used in your introduction or discussion in APA format. See examples in the Purdue Owl example paper (URL given above).

Appendix:

Include either a histogram or qqplot of the continuous variable in APA format.

Spelling, Punctuation and Coherence:

As with any scientific paper, it is VERY important to use proper spelling and punctuation. Take time to edit your paper more than once so that you do not lose points for incorrect spelling, punctuation, and grammar.

Coherence is also a VERY important component of your paper. Your paper should follow a logical structure, and the concepts should have a flow to them.

Length:

(introduction, method, results, and discussion sections) should be three to five pages long, double-spaced.
