• Critically evaluate the research articles, emphasizing flaws in the research methodology, gaps, or discrepancies in the research findings.

• After your critical evaluation, the last portion of your paper should be a proposal for a new research study (a new experimental design) that will help provide additional evidence for or against the theory in question. It should give the details of the procedures, and you should make clear the purpose of the study and why you think the results of this study will help resolve the issues involved.

• Finally, you should indicate your “expected results” (hypotheses) incorporating an explanation of the reasons for that prediction.

• Review and use at least six primary source articles.
