SPSS CUMULATIVE ASSESSMENT -

The following five research questions can be answered using one of the eight tests you have learned this term, including: independent-samples t-test, paired-samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, two-factor ANOVA for independent measures, Pearson correlation coefficient, linear regression, the chi-square test for goodness of fit, and the chi-square test for independence. Note that this means that three tests will not be used. Use the information in the tables to construct your SPSS data file, just as you have been doing in each homework assignment. There is only 1 correct choice of analysis for each question. Remember to account for whether the test is 1-tailed or 2-tailed. The assessment is open-book/open-notes.

Your answer must include: A) SPSS output, and B) Results section in current APA style with the appropriate graph included as an APA-style figure.

For ANOVA problems (if applicable): Report statistical findings and make statements for all main effects and interaction effects. Use Tukey's test for any analyses requiring post hoc tests.

Problem Set 1:

Research Scenario: Children who experience chronic pain as a result of medical procedures are the focus of a psychiatrist's study. Specifically, the psychiatrist wants to measure whether a new program helps decrease feelings of chronic pain in the short-term. She measures children's self-reports of pain levels before treatment on a standardized scale with a range of 0-10, with 10 being the most severe. She then administers the new program, and measures children's pain levels after treatment. The data are contained in the table below. Does the new treatment decrease self-reported levels of chronic pain?

Using this table, enter the data into a new SPSS data file. Use the appropriate test to analyze the question and create the appropriate graph.

1. Paste SPSS output.

2. Write an APA-style Results section based on your analysis. Include your graph as an APA-style figure as demonstrated in the APA writing presentations.

Problem Set 2:

Research Scenario: A neuropsychologist is assessing the relationship between visual attention levels and the ability to multitask in a sample of 14 patients. He administers a visual continuous performance test to assess levels of visual attention on which scores can range from 1 to 20: a high score indicates better visual attention levels. He then has each patient complete a task that requires high levels of multitasking. Errors are counted, and a high number of errors indicates poor multitasking skills. The scores are listed in the table below. Is there a relationship between visual attention and multitasking scores?

2. Write an APA-style Results section based on your analysis. Include your graph as an APA-style figure as demonstrated in the APA writing presentations.

Problem Set 3:

Research Scenario: In response to recent Gallup and Pew Center polls of Americans' trust in their political leaders, a political psychologist decides to study people's trust in politicians among different political parties and regions in his state. The psychologist administers a scale-level questionnaire with possible scores ranging from 1-50, with higher scores indicating higher trust in politicians, and lower scores indicating lower trust. The data from this scale-level questionnaire are shown in the table below. Is there a difference in mean trust scores between the different groups?

2. Write an APA-style Results section based on your analysis. Include your graph as an APA-style figure as demonstrated in the APA writing presentations.

Problem Set 4:

Research Scenario: A community psychologist is interested in whether spending time in after-school programs is predictive of the number of arrests as a young adult in a high-risk neighborhood. After collecting records on 17 individuals over 8 years, she compiles the information listed in the table below. Does the time spent in after school programs predict the number of arrests after age 17?

Using this table, enter the data into a new SPSS data file. Use the appropriate test to analyze the question and create the appropriate graph.

1. Paste SPSS output.

2. Write an APA-style Results section based on your analysis. Include your graph as an APA-style figure as demonstrated in the APA writing presentations.

Problem Set 5:

Research Scenario: An addictions counselor is compiling data on the main substance used by each of his 23 clients before treatment. Based on the admissions data he has, he divides the substances into three main categories: Alcohol, Opioids, and Cocaine/Crack Cocaine. He records the number of clients in each category based on their reports of which substance they primarily used before seeking treatment. The frequencies are listed in the table below. Is the number of clients spread equally across the three types of substances?

Using this table, enter the data into a new SPSS data file. Use the appropriate test to analyze the question and create the appropriate graph.

1. Paste SPSS output.

2. Write an APA-style Results section based on your analysis. Include your graph as an APA-style figure as demonstrated in the APA writing presentations.
