summary of 3 journal articles (please be specific with the longer journal too)
Font: Times New Roman; size 10

State the (1) hypothesis, (2) method, (3) result of the journals in the following format:

hypothesis/research question: one or two sentences
method: by order in point form (be specific and clear, including every important methods used but taking out unnecesary or repeating explanations).
result: by order in point form (e.g., what did the authors find? what were the results? were there differences between groups? or differences between measures used?

– feel free to use direct quotations as much as you would like “if it can help to make things clearer”
– do not need to divide summaries with a space

A good sample summary would look like this:

hypothesis: as stereotype susceptibility is found to emerge during middle school, the activation of gender identity would inhibit quantitative performance while the activation of ethnic identity would facilitate quantitative performance in Asian-American girls.

Subjects: 81 Asian-American girls from Boston area (including Chinese, Korean and Japanese)
method:
– each children were randomly assigned to one of the three groups: gender identity activation; ethnic identity activation; control group
– Each completed 2 age-appropriate manipulation tasks
a) Kindergarten – grade 2: colored three randomly selected pictures
* Ethnic-identity condition = Asian children eating rice with chopsticks
* Gender-identity condition = picture of a girl holding a doll
* Control = color a landscape scene
b) Grade 3-8 filled one of three randomly selected questionnaires
* Ethnic-identity condition = questions related to ethnicity
* Female-identity condition = questions related to gender
* Control condition = neutral questions
– all groups given a math test appropriate to their grades
– all groups given 2 implicit stereotype-awareness tasks (gender stereotype-awareness task = told a story about a student who is good at math and made participants repeat the story to note whether they use the pronouns he or she; ethnic stereotype-awareness task = told one of the student in the picture is good at math and asked participants to point out who the student would be – Caucasian or Asian)
– all groups given explicit stereotype-awareness task (asked “are boys or girls better at math or are they the same?”)
result:
– all three age groups showed implicit stereotype awareness in ethnic stereotypes
– only youngest and oldest age groups showed implicit stereotype awareness in gender stereotypes; girls in grade 3-5 tended to identify the student as a girl than a boy
– all age groups tended to show no explicit stereotype awareness
