Research Design for One-Way ANOVA

Research Design for One-Way ANOVA

Similar to the previous week’s Discussion, this Discussion assists in solidifying your understanding of statistical testing by engaging in some data analysis. This week, you will once again work with a real, secondary data-set to construct a research question, perform a one-way ANOVA, and interpret the results.

Whether in a scholarly or practitioner setting, good research and data analysis should have the benefit of peer feedback. For this Discussion, you will post your response to the hypothesis test, along with the results. Be sure and remember that the goal is to obtain constructive feedback to improve the research and its interpretation, so please view this as an opportunity to learn from one another.

To prepare for this discussion:

  • Review the learning resources related to t tests that are attached
  • Using the SPSS software, open the General Social Survey data-set found attached.
  • Open SPSS using the General Social Survey data-set and 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.

Post via a word document. Be sure to support your writing with a minimum of 2 scholarly articles.

Follow the attached guidelines for assistance when completing the assignment.
