Sample Experimental Report

This section offers sample pages from a master's thesis reporting on a psychololgical experiemnt, written by an graduate psychology student at Purdue University. Since it's a real paper written by a real student, we haven't corrected the student's errors, but have instead included comments that point them out. If you have a comment you'd like to add to the paper, send us an e-mail and we'd be glad to add it.

We've marked up the paper with sample comments from various psychology teachers that comment on the paper's format, content, and use of APA style. Just click on the "next page" and "go back" buttons to move through the pages of the paper.
