Lab Project Phase 3 - Analysis Instructions PURPOSE:The purpose of this assignment is to choose the correct statistical analysis and graph for your lab project data and complete this analysis using SPSS. SKILLS/KNOWLEDGE:As a result of completing this assignment, you will be able to: Select the appropriate statistical test to analyze and interpret psychological data in a specific research context.Use SPSS statistical software to analyze survey response data. Present your data in a visual format in APA style. TASK:Choose the statistical analysis that best addresses the lab project research question and fits the lab project data in your SPSS data file. The correct test is one that you have learned within the first five weeks of the course. There is a “right” answer, so look carefully at the wording of the research question. Complete the analysis and turn in a Word document that contains: a title page in current APA style, your rationale for using this analysis with support from course materials, the SPSS output, the appropriate graph, and an APA-style Reference page. You will be graded on how completely you address the following: Your title page must be in current APA styleYour submission must be double-spacedIn 3-5 sentences, state which analysis you are using and provide a rationale as to why this is the correct analysis to use for the Lab Project. Provide at least one source from the course (text and/or presentations) to support your rationale. Use current APA formatting for your in-text citation(s).Paste the SPSS output of your analysis. The analysis should include only the variables relevant to the research question.Paste the appropriate graph as a Figure in current APA style, again including only the variables relevant to the research question.Your Reference page must be in current APA style and include any sources cited in your rationale. CRITERIA FOR SUCCESS: Please carefully review the Lab Phase 3 Rubric. Also, remember that asking questions contributes to learning and success, so please contact your instructor should you have any questions related to the assignment. Submit this assignment by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week 6.

This week you have explored three different approaches to t tests. By this point, you know that each test has assumptions about the data and type of research questions it can answer. For this Assignment, you will be provided with three scenarios. As you read the scenarios, be sure and think about aligning the appropriate t test with the question. Consider whether the data are independent samples and if two samples are being compared.To prepare for this Assignment:Review the Learning Resources and the media programs related to t tests.For additional support, review the Skill Builder: Research Design and Statistical Design and the Skill Builder: Hypothesis Testing for Independent Samples t-test, which you can find by navigating back to your Blackboard Course Home Page. From there, locate the Skill Builder link in the left navigation pane.Also, review the t test scenarios found in this week’s Learning Resources and consider the three different approaches of t tests:Independent sample t testPaired sample t testOne sample t testBased on each of the three research scenarios provided, open the High School Longitudinal Study dataset or the Afrobarometer dataset from this week’s Learning Resources using SPSS software, then choose and run the appropriate t test.Once you perform your t test analyses, review Chapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document.For this Assignment:Write a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of your t test results for each research scenario and include the SPSS syntax and output. Do not forget to evaluate if the t test assumptions are met, justify the selection of type of t test, and report the effect size. Based on your results, provide an explanation of what the implications of social change might be.Use proper APA format, citations, and referencing for your analysis, research questions, and output.
