I need help with a psychological statistics paper

I need help with a psychological statistics paper

Preparation

Complete the following:

  • Step 1: In the Capella library, find six peer-reviewed journal articles related to the variables you identified in your Week 3 assignment. If you've been following along with the suggested preparations each week, hopefully you already have a strong set of articles to help you with this assignment. If you aren't quite at six articles yet, be sure to visit the library and complete your set.
  • Step 2: Analyze the data from the two variables you identified in your Week 3 assignment using the statistical test identified in your Week 7 assignment (consider your instructor's feedback).

Instructions

Follow the outline below for your paper; you can use the Week 9 Paper Template [DOCX] to help organize your writing. Page and paragraph lengths are provided to help you gauge if you’ve written enough or too much—use them as a guide to help you stay on track.

  • Introduction. (1–1.5 pages.)
    • Write 2–4 paragraphs summarizing the six peer-reviewed journal articles you found on your topic.
  • Hypothesis.
    • Include both your null and alternate hypotheses you created in a previous assignment.
  • Methods. (1.5–2 pages.)
    • Participants. (1 paragraph.)
      • Describe the number of participants in the study.
        • For this archival data project, the number of participants refers to the number of participants who responded to both of your selected variables.
    • Measures. (1–2 paragraphs.) See your Week 5 assignment and any feedback you received.
      • Describe the GSS.
        • Discuss its reliability and validity.

      • Be sure to revise based on any instructor feedback you received.
    • Data Analysis Approach. (1–2 paragraphs.)
      • Explain the form of analysis you used to manipulate your data. Consider the following questions in your explanation.
        • From the point that you had the raw data, what tests did you run?
        • Why did you select that test (or those tests)?
        • How did you manipulate the data (for example cleaning the data)?
        • Why did you choose to manipulate the data?
        • What results did you desire?
          • Note: Don't put your actual results here (those come next), instead discuss what you expected to find.
  • Results. (1–1.5 pages.)
    • Report the results of your statistical analysis. (1 paragraph.)
      • Use current APA style format for reporting your results.
    • Reflect on whether your null hypothesis or alternative hypothesis is correct. (1–2 paragraphs.)
      • Conclude if the null hypothesis or alternative hypothesis is correct.
      • Explain how you reached this conclusion.
    • Make a conclusion about the relationship between the variables and explain how you reached this conclusion. (1–2 paragraphs.)
    • Include a chart or graph (for example, a scatterplot for correlations) to show your data.
  • Discussion. (1–2 pages.)
    • Discuss your results in relation to the following:
      • How do your results compare to other research studies? (1–2 paragraphs.)
      • How can your results be generalized? (1–2 paragraphs.)
      • What were the limitations of the study? (1–2 paragraphs.)
      • Is your research valid and reliable—see the Lameck article in Week 8: General Social SurveyLinks to an external site.. How would you evaluate the validity and reliability of your study? (1–2 paragraphs.)
      • What might you do as a next step in research?
