LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Write out simple descriptive statistics in American Psychological Association (APA) style.
- Interpret and create simple APA-style graphs—including bar graphs, line graphs, and scatterplots.
- Interpret and create simple APA-style tables—including tables of group or condition means and correlation matrixes.
Once you have conducted your descriptive statistical analyses, you will need to present them to others. In this section, we focus on presenting descriptive statistical results in writing, in graphs, and in tables— following American Psychological Association (APA) guidelines for written research reports. These principles can be adapted easily to other presentation formats such as posters and slide show presentations.
