2. Methods
Participants
This study was conducted using SNHU graduate level
students in classes PSY 510/520. The link to the survey as well
as the introduction was placed in an email to current classmates
and in the SNHU MS Psychology Lounge where students were
recruited to take the survey voluntarily. Each student was made
aware that the survey was completely voluntary and any content
provided will remain confidential. There were 12 people total to
take the survey, and there was a mix of male and female
students; only the first ten students were selected.
Materials
There were a couple of different materials used to complete this
study. I utilized the participation of ten PSY 510/520 students

3. from SNHU. I also utilized SPSS to analyze data obtained from
the survey. The survey had 29 questions that included questions
that were not broken into any category, but they measured the
current choices and feelings made by the participants due to
their childhood. The questions were not charged in nature.
Special precautions to questions were taken to be sure not to
trigger anyone’s past emotions if they may have had any.
Qualtrics was also utilized as the platform for where students
will be participating in the survey.
Methodological Procedures
The data collection heavily relied upon the Qualtrics.
Qualtrics is a system utilized by SNHU for administering the
questionnaire for students to participate. Once the
questionnaires are completed, Qualtrics will analyze the data
and group them.

Raw Data
This raw data was reduced by eliminating unnecessary and
repetitive questions. By simplifying the questionnaire, you can
focus on the questions that will provide the necessary data. The
Likert scale format will remain the same for this data set. The
statistical analysis will consist of the current feelings and tasks
of each participant in relations to their childhood. The
statistical analysis will not include questions removed that
provided no bearing to the research question, as the questions
were multifaceted and created too much ambiguity.
Descriptive Statistics
Below I have included a table outlining the descriptive
statistics. There will be three separate tables; 1. Demographics
table, 2. Childhood challenges, and 3. Current feelings and
actions.

Statistical Test
For this research study, there are so many statistical tests that
can be conducted to obtain relevant data. Those tests can
include multiple regression, one-way ANOVA, Factorial
ANOVA, Independent Samples T-test, Compared means test,
PROCESS, and bivariate correlations.
The most beneficial statistical test for this data set would be the
bivariate correlations. This research study is prevalent upon
whether a correlation exists with the variables. A couple of
different bivariate tests will be conducted to obtain the
correlation values of the demographics and childhood
challenges and current feelings. The bivariate correlation tests

11. measure the strength of two variables and their relationship.
That value of the tests can range from 1to 0, with the most
reliable relationship being closer to 1.
The research question: Does childhood abuse cause lasting
effects in adults? Due to this being the research question the
bivariate correlation tests will be the most appropriate to run to
find correlations within the separate categories listed above.
This test will be able to show the relationship within the
childhood challenges, current feelings and emotions, and the
demographics.
