\nIn your article summary, respond to the following questions:
\nState the research hypothesis in your own words. Identify the independent and dependent variables.
\nWhat were some variables the researchers controlled in their study? Why was this necessary?
\nWhat evidence do the researchers offer as a test of their hypothesis? Is this evidence empirical (observable)? Is it valid?
\nWhat explanation do the researchers offer for their findings? Does the evidence justify this explanation?
