SPSS: Two-Way ANOVA Assignment Instructions
Overview
This assignment is designed to increase your statistical literacy and proficiency in conducting and interpreting the two-way independent-measures ANOVA. You will be completing two 2-way ANOVA analyses in SPSS, using data that are related to specific research scenarios in the behavioral sciences, such as psychology, social work, and counseling. You will also be completing one Cumulative Knowledge Question that will use an analysis learned in a previous week. Behind the scenes knowledge of how this test is conducted is fundamental to being able to understand and apply research in your related field to your practice. Additionally, SPSS skills are professionally valuable, as it is one of the most commonly used statistical software packages in behavioral science settings, both academic and professional.
Instructions
This assignment includes three problem sets that contain research scenarios and related questions.
For each scenario, you will run an analysis in SPSS. The required product will include the SPSS output, an APA-style Results section describing the results, and the appropriate graph inserted as a Figure in APA style.
For all problems, interpret results based on an alpha level of = .05.
This assignment is worth 90 points.
