Use the following app/weblink to enter your own data and obtain an interactive visual display.
A.
Using the SPSS software, open the General Social Survey dataset
Using the General Social Survey dataset, construct a research question that can be answered by a one-way ANOVA.
Use SPSS to answer the research question. Post your response to the following:
1. What is your research question?
2. What is the null hypothesis for your question?
3. What research design would align with this question?
4. What dependent variable was used and how is it measured?
5. What independent variable is used and how is it measured?
6. If you found significance, what is the strength of the effect?
7. Explain your results for a lay audience and further explain what the answer is to your research question.
B.
Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset (whichever you choose).
- Based on the dataset you chose, construct a research question that can be answered with a one-way ANOVA.
- Once you perform your one-way ANOVA analysis, copy and paste the output into Word document.
- Write a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of the one-way ANOVA results for your research question. Include any post-hoc tests with an analysis of the strength of any relationship found (effect size). Also, in your analysis, display the data for the output. Based on your results, provide an explanation of what the implications of social change might be.
C. Search for a quantitative article related to one-way ANOVA testing.
Write a 2- to 3-page critique of the article you found. In your critique, include responses to the following:
- Why did the authors use this one-way ANOVA test?
- Do you think it's the most appropriate choice? Why or why not?
- Did the authors display the data?
- Does the results table stand-alone (i.e., are you able to interpret the study from it?) Why or why not?
