IRMAD Format


The IMRAD format is a lot different than the normal research papers that students learn how to write in high school. The structure is a lot different. In the IMRAD format you must write an abstract first. Following you have to write, Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion sections.

In the introduction you are answering the question, "why are you writing this report?" and in the methods section you explain what you did in your research. To continue, in results you explain what you found in your research, and in discussion you explain why your findings are importantThese sections are important to include, so that the reader can easily locate information needed about the research.

The title is also more important in IMRAD, than in the basic english paper. The title needs to be informative and explaining what is being researched.

I intend to create a better alternative to applying for instate tuition that is better for the student in terms of stress and campus involvement, in addition to helping the University of Iowa's ...

Topic proposal

My research topic is exploring the effectiveness of persuasion techniques commonly found in social psychology such as "foot-in-the door" and"door-in-the-face" phenomenons. These are important because they are commonly taught compliance techniques and have been heavily studied in my field of psychology. I have a few research questions I can dive into with these compliance strategies. One is, do these strategies and which strategies work better than no strategy at all? Do certain strategies work better on specific genders? Finally, which strategy is most effective of the ones used in the experiment? I plan on conducting an experiment maybe even more than one experiment to test my hypothesis. My hypothesis is that the foot-in-the-door technique works better than chance, and better than the "door-in-the-face" phenomenon. The independent variable is the strategy used and the dependent variable is compliance. One group will be the control group with no strat...
