a) Give the correct, full citation for the article at the beginning of the paper. (1 point)
b) The summary must be written in your own words and it must be complete. (5 points)
c) You may use quotes from the article very cautiously (I don’t want to see an entire paragraph in
groups or even ½ of a paragraph in quotes).

Activity 2:
Answer the following questions about the article.

a) What is the problem or question(s) this research concerns? You should be able to identify the
central focus. If there are additional secondary problems, identify these too. (1-4 sentences)
b) What is the source of the data? (That is, questionnaire, intensive interview, documents, existing
statistical information, observations, laboratory manipulations, field manipulations, etc.) In
some studies there are two or more sources of data. Give a brief overview of how the data were
acquired. (2-5 sentences)

Activity 3:
Give the following information about the sampling procedures in outline/Table form, saying “not given,”
if it is not:

a) Definition of the population of theoretical or substantive interest; what is the population of


theoretical or substantive interest; that is, to whom does the author seem to want to be able to
generalize? Your answer to this should be based on what the author says in the introduction
to the article, not in the methods section.
b) Geographic areas, organizational units (e.g. what state, University, county), or other primary
sampling units and how these were chosen. Was the sampling of these units’ probability or
nonprobability?
c) The sampling units (e.g. people, organizations, sentences). These may or may not be the same
as the units of analysis;
d) Sampling frame, or operationalization of the actual population studied; by what rule or list were
units of analysis located?
a) Method of selecting the units of analysis from the sampling frame. Was the sampling of these
units’ probability or nonprobability?
b) What kind of sample (e.g., convenience, stratified random, etc.) does this seem to be?
c) Response rate (e.g., to a mailed survey) and sample size; if analyzed sample size is different from
initial sample size (e.g., cases were dropped for missing data) explain why.
d) Does the author discuss any shortcoming in the sample or the sampling procedures? If so, what
does s/he say?
