Results 1. Begin by re-stating the hypothesis you were testing or answering the research questions posed in the introduction and/or the literature review. 2. Support the answers with the results. Address all the results relating to the questions, regardless of whether or not the findings were statistically significant. 3. Describe the patterns, principles, and relationships shown by each major finding/result and put them in perspective. If necessary, point the reader to a figure or table to enhance the “story”.
