Scenario

You work for a market research company that supplies information for political non-profit organizations throughout the nation. A number of your clients are interested in the public perception around policies about sexual orientation and political opinions and ideologies.

Use the research question you chose in your milestone assignment and the appropriate data set provided to support your analysis. Then, summarize your analysis in a brief report.

WRITING TEMPLATE

Your research question: Is there a linear relationship between feelings toward conservatives and beliefs regarding gay persons’ right to marry one another?

Directions

For this project you will submit an analysis report summary, which is an APA Style write-up, using the data and writing templates on this page.

Your first step is to perform the inferential test you selected in your Project Two Milestone using the appropriate data set from the provided file. Then you will complete the APA write-up for that inferential test using the writing templates on this page. The Module Four Activity: ANOVA Quiz and Module Five Activity: Regression Quiz have prepared you for this project.

Select and report the inferential statistical test contextualized in the research question.

Provide the alpha value and use it to determine the significance of your test.

Report the results in APA format, including statistical value with degree of freedom, p value, and effect size.

Report the values necessary to interpret the findings and identify the pattern of relationship (for example, slope for regression and means for ANOVA).

Connect the statistical findings back to the research question and conceptual variables.

Propose an actionable item that uses the results of your findings relevant to the research question.

Provide the output from your data analysis (using the Analysis ToolPak) as a screenshot or picture.
