Interpreting the Results of Research

In this assignment, you will interpret the results of your statistical procedures. You will include the findings, as well as a table and a figure, answer the research questions, and include a discussion about post-hoc tests and reliability and validity. Step 1. Interpret Interpret the correlational tests and address the following: Determine the strength of the correlation based on the calculated r- value. Can you reject or do you fail to reject the null hypothesis? Write out your interpretation of the statistical test, stating the critical value under consideration and whether the null hypothesis could or could not be rejected. Step 2. Interpret Interpret the t-tests and address the following: Inspect the generated table, including the p-value. For either one or two tailed tests (depending on your hypothesis), if p < .05, there is a statistically significant difference between the means, and the null hypothesis can be rejected. Can you reject or do you fail to reject the null hypothesis? Write out your interpretation of the statistical test, stating the critical value under consideration and whether the null hypothesis could or could not be rejected. Step 3. Interpret Interpret the ANOVA tests and address the following: An ANOVA tests the extent to which the variances of the means in more than two groups are different (μ1 = μ2 = μ3). The F-ratio is calculated by Excel's output (Between Groups / Within Groups) and is displayed in the "F" column. You can determine if there are equal variances among the group means by stating whether the generated F > F crit, in which case you can reject the null hypothesis. Step 4. Include Include at least one APA-formatted table to show the results of your statistical test. Include at least one visual, such as a chart or graph, showing a demographic overview of participants (e.g., gender or years of experience bar graphs for each group). Ensure the figure is labeled according to APA format. Step 5. Answer Compose a paragraph explaining how your hypotheses were tested and how you reported the results. Compose a paragraph about the findings: What do they reveal in relation to the research questions? Answer the research questions based on your interpretation of your findings. Step 6. Consider In a single paragraph, include a section discussing possible post-hoc tests that address power or effect size. If you are able, feel free to run the procedures using Excel. If not, you can describe what they are and why they are important. Step 7. Discuss In a single paragraph, discuss issues related to reliability and validity of your mini-project, including known limitations, small sample size, the instrument, and the way you conducted your statistical procedures. How would post-hoc tests affect reliability and validity? You are not expected to be extensive, but you should discuss basic issues surrounding reliability and validity mentioned in this module. Step 8. Compile Compile your mini-project again. It is should now include the following sections and subsections: Introduction (no subheading, 1-2 pages) Problem Statement and Problem Background Purpose Statement Research Questions Theoretical Framework (one paragraph) Research Design and Methodology (2-3 pages) Design justification Independent and dependent variables Subgroups Instrumentation Scope and Delimitations Assumptions Limitations Population and Sample Selection Data Collection Data Analysis Research Findings Reliability and Validity Step 9. Submit Use APA format for your essay, including the title and reference page, and include at least three scholarly citations. Submit your essay. I was awaiting a response from my lecture in regards to data provision. Unfortunately, now was given and the use of realistic data can be used. UPDATE: Just a note this order was related to a previous order. I will add files. Please let me know if anything else is needed. 00180648.docx 00180847.docx 00180849.docx 00180476_revised_1_(2).docx 00180730_(1).docx
