Presenting Results (Quantitative) 
Topic 1: Chapter 4

How do you present your results (quantitative)? 

In a quantitative dissertation or capstone you will be presenting your results. You may present your results with or without a discussion explaining what those results mean. You will want to consult your chair to make sure you are following the approach 
preferred by your chair. Thus, your chapter 4 may include the following: 

• Introduction 
  
• Results 
  
• Discussion 
  

First you should remind your reader what your research question(s) is/are. Your results should then be presented in response to your research question(s). Your results are the “solution(s)” or “answer(s)” to that/those questions. 
Example: Nollner Dissertation, p. 58 
Your results should focus only on data that enables you to answer your research questions, not simply raw data. 
If you are also providing a discussion of the results in this section, your discussion should be related back to your conceptual framework.
