article data & results

The participants were 94 female students from the age of 19-24.
The data section begins by explaining how many participants there are and explaining their BMI and the difference between high self-discrepant women and compared to low self-discrepant women.
It is organized in many ways. They have 3 different tables help showing results and also they break it into sections of different concerns. They give us the means and standard deviations of each of the experimental and control groups.
The themes are showing that the media does somewhat affect how women perceive themselves.
They use the p-value, and the means and SD in order to prove whether or not their study is statistically significant.
What stands out the most for me is that they are doing an experiemt which is what I see a lot in my major and also what I am doing for my data collection. Mine will not be as difficult as theres but I feel that mine will still get my point across.
I would give them an A. It was very thought out and they had all the information they needed written in an intelligent way.
