Problem:
The research questions were logical with the purpose of the study, which was to examine ethnicity, sex, and ethnicity by sex difference on adolescents' group on youth violence. Need Assignment Help?
The research questions and hypotheses are listed below:
1. To determine whether there are differences across ethnic groups in Hawai'i, including among the AAPI groups (i.e., European American, Filipino American, Native Hawaiian, Japanese American, Samoan, and other) for six different forms of youth violence (i.e., social exclusion perpetration, teasing perpetration, physical perpetration, emotional victimization, physical victimization, and overall), with the hypothesis that there will be generally higher rates for Pacific Islanders (Native Hawaiians, Samoans) and higher rates of victimization for those with low ethnic populations for the schools in question.
2. To determine whether there are differences by sex for the six youth violence measures, with the hypothesis that boys will have higher rates than girls for at least the physical violence indicators, and girls will have higher rates than boys for emotional violence measures.
3. To determine whether there are ethnicity-by-sex interactions for the six youth violence measures.
4. To determine whether the SES measures, used as covariates, alter the results involving ethnicity and sex, with the hypothesis that SES will decrease the number of statistically significant findings given SES's association with ethnicity.
The research questions align with the study design, which is an epidemiologic survey design. The research is based on data collected from 881 high school students at two public high schools on O'ahu. The two schools have students who are the study's focus ethnicity. The research is a quantitative study with data collection in Spring 2007. Parental permission and youth assent were required for participation. The survey was distributed in groups at one school and in students' individual classrooms at the other school (Hishinuma et al., 2015). Purposive sampling refers to selecting a sample based on a particular purpose that meets the needs of the study (Burkholder et al., 2020). This research also wants to focus on violence perpetration as opposed to victimization and emotional violence due to a lack of research with this variance (Hishinuma et al., 2015). The study seeks to research Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders within the ethnocultural groups due to a gap in the literature.
