I don’t understand this Psychology question and need help to study.
I’ve attached the research Paper that will be used for this assignment!!!
Overview
This assignment will allow you to demonstrate a basic understanding of the article you have chosen. However for this assignment you are only going to summarize a very brief aspect of their study.
Learning goals
- Practice identifying hypotheses, constructs and operational definitions.

You should have no more than 2 pages of text for the article plus one reference page.
