Details: Empirical research is the foundation to scholarly research and scholarly writing. An empirical article is defined as one that presents original research conducted or personally observed by the author(s). The articles you select will include the following elements: a description of the study, an introduction, a research question, an explanation of the study’s methodology, a presentation of the results of the study, and a conclusion that discusses the results and suggests topics for further study. This assignment will help you locate and identify empirical research studies. Use the following information to ensure successful completion of the assignment: Locate your completed Comparison Matrix from Module 3. This assignment uses a grading rubric. Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required. All claims should be supported with current research. You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Refer to the directions in the Student Success Center. Only Word documents can be submitted to Turnitin. Use the information from the completed Comparison Matrix to write a paper of 750-1,000 words that compares the two empirical articles. The paper will include the following sections: Comparison of the introductions. Comparison of the purposes of each study. Comparison of the research questions. Comparison of the literature reviews. Comparison of the sample populations. Comparison of the study limitations. Comparison of the results and conclusions from the studies Comparison of topics suggested for future study.
