One-Way ANOVA

As with your previous assignments, you will complete this assignment with the DAA Template. Links to additional resources are available in the Resources area.

Reminder: The format of this SPSS assignment should be narrative with supporting statistical output (table and graphs) integrated into the text in the appropriate places (not all at the end of the document).

You will analyze the following variables in the grades.sav data set:

  • section
  • quiz3

Step 1: Write Section 1 of the DAA.

  • Provide the context of the grades.sav data set.
  • Include a definition of the specified variables (predictor, outcome) and corresponding scales of measurement.
  • Specify the sample size of the data set.

Step 2: Write Section 2 of the DAA.

  • Analyze the assumptions of the one-way ANOVA.
  • Paste the SPSS histogram output for quiz3 and discuss your visual interpretations.
  • Paste SPSS descriptives output showing skewness and kurtosis values for quiz3 and interpret them.
  • Paste SPSS output for the Shapiro-Wilk test of quiz3 and interpret it.
  • Report the results of the Levene test and interpret it.
  • Summarize whether or not the assumptions of the one-way ANOVA are met.

Step 3: Write Section 3 of the DAA.

  • Specify a research question related to the one-way ANOVA.
  • Articulate the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis.
  • Specify the alpha level.

Step 4: Write Section 4 of the DAA.

  • Begin by pasting SPSS output of the means plot and providing an interpretation.
  • Also report the means and standard deviations of quiz3 for each level of the section variable.
  • Next, paste the SPSS ANOVA output and report the results of the F test, including:
    • Degrees of freedom.
    • F value.
    • p value.
    • Calculated effect size.
    • Interpretation of the effect size.
  • Finally, if the omnibus F is significant, provide the SPSS post-hoc (Tukey HSD) output.
    • Interpret the post-hoc tests.

Step 5: Write Section 5 of the DAA.

  • Discuss the conclusions of the one-way ANOVA as it relates to the research question.
  • Conclude with an analysis of the strengths and limitations of one-way ANOVA.

Submit your DAA Template as an attached Word document in the assignment area.

PSY 335 Which Would You Buy? Short Paper Guidelines and Rubric This assignment will give you the opportunity to use available resources for evaluating and comparing different test instruments and to directly apply your learning about test construction and reliability and validity to choose a particular test. Prompt: Imagine that you have been put in charge of choosing a child behavior rating test for your agency, a center offering psychological treatment and consultation to parents for a variety of behavioral and educational issues commonly seen in school-aged children. You will analyze the BASC-2 Behavioral and Emotional Screening System and Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment behavior-rating tests. Using the ASEBA Catalog, the Pearson Clinical Catalog, and Mental Measurements Yearbook, determine which of these two tests you would choose for the agency to buy: the Behavior Rating Assessment for Children (BASC2) or Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA). State your choice and explain your decision. Be sure to justify and support your recommendation with research. In your short paper, the following critical elements must be addressed:

 A thorough and detailed comparison of the BASC2 and ASEBA tests

 A thorough and detailed explanation of the differences between the BASC2 and ASEBA tests

 A statement and clear explanation of which test you are recommending your agency purchase

 A well-supported justification using relevant research of why you are recommending your choice Guidelines for Submission: Your paper must be submitted as a one- to two-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and at least three sources cited in APA format.
