Description

Choose an empirical journal article you are using for the literature review of your research proposal.  Analyze the article based on sound research methodological principles, addressing each of the questions below.

 For this assignment, you will need to submit two items:

 Your critique, i.e., your responses to the questions below, in a .doc or .docx (Word) file, AND

 A full text copy of the article in .pdf, .doc, .docx, or .rtf format.  Do not paste the article into the same file as your critique.  Attach a separate file.  If you fail to submit a full text copy of the article along with your critique, you will receive reduced or no credit.

THIS IS THE LITERATURE REVIEW YOU NEED TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS (Google it and make sure that you provide the entire article)

Perkins, D. D., Meeks, J. W., & Taylor, R. B. (1992). The physical environment of street blocks and resident perceptions of crime and disorder: implications for theory and measurement. Journal of Environmental Psychology, 12(1), 21-34. doi:10.1016/s0272-4944(05)80294-4

 Answer the following questions in about 1-2 sentences each, leaving the questions and question numbers intact.  Write entirely in your own words—plagiarism or “too close paraphrasing” will result in reduced or no credit.  Be sure to cite your source appropriately using APA style.

1.  What is the importance or purpose of this research?  (Note this is different from the research question.)

2.  What is the research question?

 3. What is the research hypothesis(es)?

 4. What type of research methodology was used? What type of design was used?

 5. What is the independent variable (or predictor variable)? What are the levels of this variable?

 6. What is the dependent variable (or outcome variable)?  What is the operational definition of this variable?

 7. What variable(s) was controlled by the researcher?

 8. What materials were used to conduct the study?

 9. What were the results of the study?  (Note I’m looking for words here, not statistical terminology.)  Did they support the hypothesis?

10.  What is the importance or significance of the findings? (Note this is different from support for/refutation of the hypothesis.)

 11. What suggestions do you have for future research on this topic?

 Provide an APA style reference for the article.
