Psychology

This section should only include the straightforward reporting of results. Generally, do not comment on or discuss your data in this section; simply present it in a clear and meaningful way. Be selective in highlighting the key findings. Summarise the data, e.g., in tables, graphs, text boxes. If required, present any examples of raw data (non-identifiable) or statistical calculations in an appendix. Note that negative results are acceptable.

Ensure that summary material (tables, graphs, line drawings, text boxes, and photographs) are self-explanatory and can ‘stand alone’, requiring no reference to the text for the reader to understand them. This means that headings, captions and legends must be carefully composed so that they are succinct and self-contained. This is not to say that the results section should only consist of tables and figures or only consist of quotations. At the very least, you must guide the reader through the data, indicating which tables/figures/text boxes, etc. illustrate a particular statement: “X% of the population agreed that Y was more important than Z (Table A), but did not include Y in their overall top five rankings (Table B).” Do not describe the results merely in terms of ‘Table A shows that… and Table B shows that…’ as if the section is merely a guided tour of the tables, etc. Avoid repetition of the material presented in the tables in the text; only highlight the important elements. The results should be a summary of the important findings, with due reference to the summary material. Be clear whether material is integral to the reader’s understanding of the text or whether it is a stand-alone summary-element (table, text-box, etc.) to which the reader can refer for further information. Where you are presenting quotations, you must be selective and be clear about what concept a particular selection illustrates. If you are analysing quantitative data, you should also be aware of, and pay attention to, the dangers of multiple statistical significance testing.I need data to be interpreted with relevant figures.
