The political economy of lap dancing

Identify the research question(s), hypotheses (if there are any), methods, findings, and limitations. 2 Methods: This is a very important section. Answer the following questions: 1. Is the study qualitative or quantitative? 2. What precise method did the authors use (e.g. surveys, interviews, content analysis, etc)? a. Explain this in detail (e.g. if they used a survey, did they contact people through telephone, was it a survey measured at several time points or just at one time point?). 3. What was the sample? a. How did they collect their sample? b. How large was the sample? c. Who was included in and excluded from the sample? 4. What variables did the authors use? a. What are the independent and dependent variables? b. How did they operationalize the variables? i. E.g. did they operationalize obesity as BMI (Body Mass Index) or body fat percentage? 5. When and where was the study conducted? Findings: What are the main findings? Are they in line with what the researchers predicted? How do they connect with the broader literature (look at the discussion/conclusion section of the article)? Limitations: Are there any problems with the research or limitations? (Hint: often the sample isn’t perfect or the operationalization of the variables isn’t ideal).
