I need you to fix my introduction and make it better. I need you to ALSO create a discussion and a conclusion based on the information I give you. I attached the paper in progress you will understand study from reading. I need you to analyze my results that I provided and Interpret the results of the study in the context of previous research. You can provide what ever research you feel will help in the intro or discussion. Discuss the implications of the study for parents, mental health professionals, and policy makers. Explain what the results mean based on the study. Include in text citations and a works cited page. create or include whatever charts you feel necessary.
rubric:
9. Show off your data, not chart junk. The purpose of graphs is not to create a box into which you cram information. The purpose is to communicate with the reader. The essential part of the message is the data. Not the rest of it: boxes, labels, ticks, legends, etc. The rest is necessary, but, compared to the data, it’s junk. Don’t shrink the data to make room for the junk. The junk should never compete with the data, either for space or for ink. It’s like the bride at a wedding. No one should dress so as to upstage her.
Caption. Every figure should have a caption explaining what’s in it. If possible, briefly state what one can conclude by looking at this figure.
Introduction. The main purpose of the intro is to motivate the question and the method, i.e. convince the reader that this question is not already answered and sufficiently interesting to be worth reading about, and that your method will provide a convincing answer. But this is also where you credit what’s already been done by others, especially by potential reviewers. Your review addresses what’s been done and the hole you’ll fill, or the new landscape you’ll create. The intro typically takes the form of a historical review, but that’s more a pretext than a purpose. The purpose is to motivate and give credit. If you are not yet well-known in this field it may be important to the reviewers that you show awareness of the key papers in the field. You can get this list by scanning the introductions of other papers. You needn’t praise; it’s enough to cite.
Results. Data. Graphs. The results text should have a very plain style. “Just the facts, ma’m.” Only minimal interpretation and comparison to other work. But do mention replication and inconsistencies (real or merely apparent) with past work. Sometimes the empirical result is more or less the conclusion of your paper. Sometimes that conclusion needs a reasoned argument, which may appear here or in Discussion. It helps the reader if each figure caption briefly states the conclusion that can be drawn from looking at the figure. Unless your effects are huge, it is essential that the Results section test for significance, i.e. you must convince the reader that your results are unlikely to be the results of mere chance, from a randomly varying source.
Discussion. Try to give the reader the big picture. Take a step back. Try to forget your stake in this and guide the reader through your garden, noting the various considerations, positive and negative, that seem relevant. Connect this work to that of others. Even distant connections help, as readers come from various places and it always helps to understand the connection, however distant, of what’s new to what’s familiar. However, the meandering connections, desirable as they are, are no substitute for a tight argument that forces the reasonable reader to accept your conclusions. Ultimately that’s the core of your contribution.
Conclusion. Most papers published in psychology do not have a final section labeled “Conclusions”. My own view is that it is rarely reasonable to publish a scientific paper without a conclusion, and that it is helpful to draw attention to its presence by setting it off in its own section. The conclusion should be short and as strong as you can make it. I consider the conclusion to be the reader’s reward. This is where you deliver on your initial promise: What do I believe after reading your paper that I didn’t know before reading it?
Format: page breaks. In manuscriipts, we typically begin each major section (Abstract, Intro, Methods, …) on a new page. Keep with following. You won’t want a page break between a heading and the following paragraph, or between a figure and its caption.
Citations. There are two popular conventions for citing publications in your text. Most academic journals use the name convention, e.g. Einstein (1913), listing the surnames of the authors and the year of publication. High impact journals tend to save space by using numbers, e.g. conservation of energy (1). In both cases, the full references are listed in a Reference section at the end of the paper. Do not use footnotes for citations.
h. et al. When referring to many authors, e.g. Pelli et al. 2006, the phrase “et al.” is an abbreviation of the Latin “et alli”, which means “and others”. There is no period after “et” and the alli or al. is never capitalized.
