Sample Paper Excerpt
The author of a submitted manuscript, a psychologist, is investigating a treatment method to diminish post-traumatic stress symptoms due to previous sexual abuse among women. The author recruits subjects by advertising at a local women's shelter, offering a small remuneration for women who "have trouble sleeping", "are easily startled", and other known symptoms. The author then recruits psychology students, administers a stress inventory, and selects those with above average scores as a "control group". Finally the author administers the stress treatment protocol to both groups and reports the findings.
One reviewer rejected the paper saying that the experimental design was inadequate. The author rebutted, claiming to have set up an acceptable experiment using "matched" samples.
