Describe the sample that participated in the study and the sampling method used to obtain the sample. Was the sample a good representation of the population of interest? Explain.  4. What limits does the sample place on external validity? In other words, why would you expect the results to be the same or different if a new sample was used in a replication of this study?

What study hypotheses are presented in the original journal article?  b. Which of these hypotheses are and are not presented in the popular media article?   c. Which of the hypotheses were supported? What conclusions were drawn from the findings?  6. Explain how well the journalist (writer of the popular media article) represented the original research article.

Do you expect the results to be the same or different in your follow-up study?  b. Describe the direction of the expected results of your follow-up study.  9.
