1. What type of research design was used in this study?
2. Which concept or theory did the author utilize to frame her study?
3. What methods were used to assess reliability of the instruments in this study? Comment on the adequacy of the instruments’ reliability.

4. List major research questions that were tested in this study. Identify the primary variables for each research question as dependent or independent. Research questions should be considered individually. Whether variables are dependent or independent may vary according to the question asked.
5. Write operational definitions for each variable and indicate the level of measurement as used (e.g. nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio).
6. How do the results fit with previous research in this area?
