Reporting the Study using APA

You can report data from your own experience by using the template below.

“A single sample t-test was conducted to determine if the (the DV measure) in a (Sample) ________ was statistically significantly different than (the DV measure) in a (Population).”

Here is an example:

“A single sample t-test was conducted to determine if IQ scores in a sample of individuals was statistically significantly different than IQ scores in a population.”

Reporting Results using APA

Here is how the results for a single-sample t-test are reported in APA.

There was no statistically significant difference in calculus anxiety scores between a sample of 30 students at University of Washington who just enrolled but had not yet attended a UW calculus course (M = 121, SD = 14.2) and the UW college students in general, t(29) = 1.03, p = .434.

M = the mean or average of the sample

SD = Standard Deviation of the sample

t(29) = 29 degrees of freedom (df) or sample

size (30 – 1)

The t value or the number of standard error units that separate the sample mean from the

population mean.

The p value or significance value. Meaning that out of 1000 replicated experiments we would be wrong 434

times if we rejected the null hypothesis. Therefore we will not reject the null hypothesis and consider the

sample and the population to be statistically similar.

times if we rejected the null hypothesis. Therefore we will not reject the null hypothesis and consider the

sample and the population to be statistically similar.

times if we rejected the null hypothesis. Therefore we will accept the null hypothesis and consider the sample

and the population to be statistically similar.

For most researchers this is a desirable outcome so that they can use this sample to run experiments

and generalize the results to a larger population.
