For the culminating activity, you will build upon the previous weekly assignments.
For the culminating activity, you will build upon the previous weekly assignments. You will use a self-selected secondary data set to complete this assignment. The data set you select has to be large enough for a valid analysis. For example, for a correlation, linear regression, multiple linear regression, independent samples t-test, ANOVA, or MANOVA, you would need at least N = 30 for each group (so 30 rows of data). Note: You can reuse the data set from the Week 4 assignment, but if you do, then you must pick a different research question and type of statistical analysis.
For this assignment, you will write a mini-Chapter Four (Research Findings). The paper must meet APA (7th Ed.) and Handbook standards. As noted in the Doctoral Research Handbook, this will include:
Title page
Introduction
Participants and Research Setting
Provide brief information about the data set, including a citation for the data set.( https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/… )
Write at least one well-articulated RQ that addresses the data set.
Identify the variables, including the following:
Variables (ex: gender, GPA, IQ)
Are the variables numeric or categorical (ex: Gender is categorical; GPA & IQ are numeric)
If the variable is categorical, then provide the categories/groups that make up that variable (ex: For gender, the groups would be female, male, and other)
If the variable is numeric, then provide the range of possible values (ex: GPA is the person’s GPA score, IQ is the person’s IQ score)
Correctly worded hypothesis (null & alternative) in the correct format. H0: / Ha:
What statistical test should be used to analyze this hypothesis, and why is that test the most appropriate? Include a citation to back-up your use of this test for your research question.
Statistical Test Options: Chi-square, Correlation, Spearman correlation, Independent samples t-test, ANOVA, Linear Regression, Multiple Regression, MANOVA. [Note: You can only use one of these tests for this assignment unless you get permission from the instructor.]
Remember, the statistical test has to match the type of variables you have. Ex: You cannot do a multiple regression between gender, GPA, and IQ because gender is categorical. For a multiple regression, you need three numeric variables. Instead, you could do a MANOVA because there is a categorical variable with three groups and two numeric variables.
Conduct the statistical analysis using JASP and write up the results in the correct APA format.
APA formatted results per the information provided in our course.
If needed, and depending on the statistical test used, include any additional results (ex: Shapiro-Wilk, Box’s-M, Durbin-Watson, etc.).
If needed, do any follow-up post hoc tests and include the results (ex: Tukey post hoc for ANOVA, MANOVA).
Include screenshots of the JASP output as an Appendix
Summary of Results
Reference – Include a citation for the data set and have at least one citation (peer-reviewed and/or textbook) to support your choice of test.
Appendix – Include all JASP output in the Appendix
