Assignment 2: Tests of Significance
Throughout this assignment you will review mock studies. You will needs to follow the directions outlined in the section using SPSS and decide whether there is significance between the variables. You will need to list the five steps of hypothesis testing (as covered in the lesson for Week 6) to see how
every
question should be formatted. You will complete all of the problems. Be sure to cut and past the appropriate test result boxes from SPSS under each problem and explain what you will do with your research hypotheses.
All calculations should be coming from your SPSS
. You will need to submit the SPSS output file to get credit for this assignment. This file will save as a .spv file and will need to be in a single file. In other words, you are not allowed to submit more than one output file for this assignment.
The five steps of hypothesis testing when using SPSS are as follows:
State your research hypothesis (H
1
) and null hypothesis (H
0
).
Identify your significance level (.05 or .01)
Conduct your analysis using SPSS.
Look for the valid score for comparison. This score is usually under ‘Sig 2-tail’ or ‘Sig. 2’. We will call this “p”.
Compare the two and apply the following rule:
If “p” is < or = significance level, than you reject the null.
Be sure to explain to the reader what this means in regards to your study. (Ex: will you recommend counseling services?)
* Be sure that your answers are clearly distinguishable. Perhaps you bold your font or use a different color.

Researches are interested in whether depressed people undergoing group therapy will perform a different number of activities of daily living after group therapy. The researchers have randomly selected 12 depressed clients to undergo a 6-week group therapy program.
Use the five steps of hypothesis testing to determine whether the average number of activities of daily living (shown below) obtained after therapy is significantly different from a mean number of activities of 17 that is typical for depressed people. (Clearly indicate each step).
Test the difference at the .05 level of significance and at the .01 level (in SPSS this means you change the “confidence level” from 95% to 99%).
As part of Step 5, indicate whether the behavioral scientists should recommend group therapy for all depressed people based.

A psychotherapist studied whether his clients self-disclosed more while sitting in an easy chair or lying down on a couch. All clients had previously agreed to allow the sessions to be videotaped for research purposes. The therapist randomly assigned 10 clients to each condition. The third session for each client was videotaped and an independent observer counted the clients’ disclosures. The therapist reported that “clients made more disclosures when sitting in easy chairs (

For the following question(s): A school counselor tests the level of depression in fourth graders in a particular class of 20 students. The counselor wants to know whether the kind of students in this class differs from that of fourth graders in general at her school. On the test, a score of 10 indicates severe depression, while a score of 0 indicates no depression. From reports, she is able to find out about past testing. Fourth graders at her school usually score 5 on the scale, but the variation is not known. Her sample of 20 fifth graders has a mean depression score of 4.4. Use the .01 level of significance.

Do men with higher levels of a particular hormone show higher levels of assertiveness? Levels of this hormone were tested in 100 men. The top 10 and the bottom 10 were selected for the study. All participants took part in a laboratory simulation in which they were asked to role-play a person picking his car up from a mechanic’s shop. The simulation was videotaped and later judged by independent raters on each of four types of assertive statements made by the participant. The results are shown in the table below. Explain these results to a person who fully understands the

For the following question(s): A school counselor tests the level of depression in fourth graders in a particular class of 20 students. The counselor wants to know whether the kind of students in this class differs from that of fourth graders in general at her school. On the test, a score of 10 indicates severe depression, while a score of 0 indicates no depression. From reports, she is able to find out about past testing. Fourth graders at her school usually score 5 on the scale, but the variation is not known. Her sample of 20 fifth graders has a mean depression score of 4.4. Use the .01 level of significance.

For this problem, we will use the experiment presented in Chapter 15, Problem 25, p. 394 of the textbook. For convenience, the experiment is repeated here.
A university researcher knowledgeable in Chinese medicine conducted a study to determine whether acupuncture can help reduce cocaine addiction. In this experiment, 18 cocaine addicts were randomly assigned to one of three groups of 6 addicts per group. One group received 10 weeks of acupuncture treatment in which the acupuncture needles were inserted into points on the outer ear where stimulation is believed to be effective. Another group, a placebo group, had acupuncture needles inserted into points on the ear where stimulation is known not to be effective. The third group received no acupuncture treatment; instead, addicts in this group received relaxation therapy. All groups also received counseling over the 10-week treatment period. The dependent variable was craving for cocaine as measured by the number of cocaine urges experienced by each addict in the last week of treatment. The following are the results.

Calculating Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Post Hoc Analyses Follo.docxaman341480
Calculating Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Post Hoc Analyses Following ANOVA
Analysis of variance (ANOVA)
is a statistical procedure that compares data between two or more groups or conditions to investigate the presence of differences between those groups on some continuous dependent variable (see
Exercise 18
). In this exercise, we will focus on the
one-way ANOVA
, which involves testing one independent variable and one dependent variable (as opposed to other types of ANOVAs, such as factorial ANOVAs that incorporate multiple independent variables).
Why ANOVA and not a
t
-test? Remember that a
t
-test is formulated to compare two sets of data or two groups at one time (see
Exercise 23
for guidance on selecting appropriate statistics). Thus, data generated from a clinical trial that involves four experimental groups, Treatment 1, Treatment 2, Treatments 1 and 2 combined, and a Control, would require 6
t
-tests. Consequently, the chance of making a Type I error (alpha error) increases substantially (or is inflated) because so many computations are being performed. Specifically, the chance of making a Type I error is the number of comparisons multiplied by the alpha level. Thus, ANOVA is the recommended statistical technique for examining differences between more than two groups (
Zar, 2010
).
ANOVA is a procedure that culminates in a statistic called the
F
statistic. It is this value that is compared against an
F
distribution (see
Appendix C
) in order to determine whether the groups significantly differ from one another on the dependent variable. The formulas for ANOVA actually compute two estimates of variance: One estimate represents differences between the groups/conditions, and the other estimate represents differences among (within) the data.
Research Designs Appropriate for the One-Way ANOVA
Research designs that may utilize the one-way ANOVA include the randomized experimental, quasi-experimental, and comparative designs (
Gliner, Morgan, & Leech, 2009
). The independent variable (the “grouping” variable for the ANOVA) may be active or attributional. An active independent variable refers to an intervention, treatment, or program. An attributional independent variable refers to a characteristic of the participant, such as gender, diagnosis, or ethnicity. The ANOVA can compare two groups or more. In the case of a two-group design, the researcher can either select an independent samples
t
-test or a one-way ANOVA to answer the research question. The results will always yield the same conclusion, regardless of which test is computed; however, when examining differences between more than two groups, the one-way ANOVA is the preferred statistical test.
Example 1: A researcher conducts a randomized experimental study wherein she randomizes participants to receive a high-dosage weight loss pill, a low-dosage weight loss pill, or a placebo. She assesses the number of pounds lost from baseline to post-treatment

How do I do a T test, correlation and ANOVA in Spss?
Solution
One-way between-subjects ANOVA A one-way between-subjects ANOVA allows
you to determine if there is a relationship between a categorical independent variable (IV) and a
continuous dependent variable (DV), where each subject is only in one level of the IV. To
determine whether there is a relationship between the IV and the DV, a one-way between-
subjects ANOVA tests whether the means of all of the groups are the same. If there are any
differences among the means, we know that the value of the DV depends on the value of the IV.
The IV in an ANOVA is referred to as a factor, and the different groups composing the IV are
referred to as the levels of the factor. A one-way ANOVA is also sometimes called a single
factor ANOVA. A one-way ANOVA with two groups is analogous to an independent-samples t-
test. The pvalues of the two tests will be the same, and the F statistic from the ANOVA will be
equal to the square of the t statistic from the t-test. To perform a one-way between-subjects
ANOVA in SPSS • Choose Analyze General Linear Model Univariate. • Move the DV to the
Dependent Variable box. • Move the IV to the Fixed Factor(s) box. • Click the OK button. The
output from this analysis will contain the following sections. • Between-Subjects Factors. Lists
how many subjects are in each level of your factor. • Tests of Between-Subjects Effects. The row
next to the name of your factor reports a test of whether there is a significant relationship
between your IV and the DV. A significant F statistic means that at least two group means are
different from each other, indicating the presence of a relationship. You can ask SPSS to provide
you with the means within each level of your between-subjects factor by clicking the Options
button in the variable selection window and moving your withinsubjects variable to the Display
Means For box. This will add a section to your output titled Estimated Marginal Means
containing a table with a row for each level of your factor. The values within each row provide
the mean, standard error of the mean, and the boundaries for a 95% confidence interval around
the mean for observations within that cell. Post-hoc analyses for one-way between-subjects
ANOVA. A significant F statistic tells you that at least two of your means are different from
each other, but does not tell you where the differences may lie. Researchers commonly perform
post-hoc analyses following a significant ANOVA to help them understand the nature of the
relationship between the IV and the DV. The most commonly reported post-hoc tests are (in
order from most to least liberal): LSD (Least Significant Difference test), SNK (Student-
Newman-Keuls), Tukey, and Bonferroni. The more liberal a test is, the more likely it will find a
significant difference between your means, but the more likely it is that this difference is actually
just due to chance. 14 Although it is the most liberal, simulations ha.

Formulas considering costs and mark up will help you to do the Problem set assignment:
1. Markup for setting prices (Mark up $ = SP-CP); MARK UP % = (MU $/SP) X100)
Formula for setting price with the markup method
SP = Cost/(1- Markup %)
Example - retailer buys A hat for $15 and wants a 40% markup, his selling price would be….
SP = 15/(1-.40)=.60
= $25.00
2. Understand Role of different costs – fixed, variable, total costs and average costs
3. What is the breakeven point? Formula for calculating the Break Even point.
BE = Total Fixed Cost/Fixed cost contribution
Fixed Cost Contribution=Price – variable cost
4. Average Cost = when there are many flavors/types of the same product, producer determines average cost and then add the mark up to set a common selling price.
.ANOVA
Analysis of Variance is a method of testing the equality of three or more population
means by analyzing sample variance.
One-Way ANOVA
The one-way ANOVA is used to compare three or more population means when there is
one factor of interest.
Requirements
The populations have distributions that are approximately normal.
The populations have the same variance.
The samples are simple random samples of quantitative data.
The samples are independent of each other.
The different samples are from populations that are categorized in only one.
way
One-Way ANOVA is a hypothesis test. There are seven steps for a hypothesis test.
Example
A professor at a local University believes there is a relationship between head size and
the major of the students in her biostatistics classes. She takes a random sample of 20
students from each of three classes and records their major and head circumference.
The data are shown in the following table.
Step 1: State the null hypothesis.
Mean 1 equals mean 2 equals mean 3 equals mean 4.
Step 2: State the Alternative hypothesis.
At least one mean is different.
Step 3: State the Level of Significance.
The level of significance is 0.05.
Step 4: State the test statistic.

Assignment 2 Successful Domestic Company Goes Global! Due Week 6 .docxkarenahmanny4c
Assignment 2: Successful Domestic Company Goes Global!
Due Week 6 and worth 280 points
Imagine that you are the CEO of a successful domestic company. In the last 6 months, many potential clients in foreign countries have expressed a desire to conduct business with you. You know that in order for your company to grow, you will have to expand overseas. You have recently attended a local three (3)-day international trade exposition and have gathered many brochures on the foreign companies interested in doing business with your company.
After meeting with the Executive Committee of your successful domestic company, you decide that you will need to identify a minimum of two (2) countries for expansion and two (2) expatriates whom you will send into the chosen countries.

PROBLEM 15.2
For this problem, we will use the experiment presented in Chapter 15, Problem 25, p. 394 of the textbook. For convenience, the experiment is repeated here.
A university researcher knowledgeable in Chinese medicine conducted a study to determine whether acupuncture can help reduce cocaine addiction. In this experiment, 18 cocaine addicts were randomly assigned to one of three groups of 6 addicts per group. One group received 10 weeks of acupuncture treatment in which the acupuncture needles were inserted into points on the outer ear where stimulation is believed to be effective. Another group, a placebo group, had acupuncture needles inserted into points on the ear where stimulation is known not to be effective. The third group received no acupuncture treatment; instead, addicts in this group received relaxation therapy. All groups also received counseling over the 10-week treatment period. The dependent variable was craving for cocaine as measured by the number of cocaine urges experienced by each addict in the last week of treatment. The following are the results.

Calculating Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Post Hoc Analyses Follo.docxaman341480
Calculating Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Post Hoc Analyses Following ANOVA
Analysis of variance (ANOVA)
is a statistical procedure that compares data between two or more groups or conditions to investigate the presence of differences between those groups on some continuous dependent variable (see
Exercise 18
). In this exercise, we will focus on the
one-way ANOVA
, which involves testing one independent variable and one dependent variable (as opposed to other types of ANOVAs, such as factorial ANOVAs that incorporate multiple independent variables).
Why ANOVA and not a
t
-test? Remember that a
t
-test is formulated to compare two sets of data or two groups at one time (see
Exercise 23
for guidance on selecting appropriate statistics). Thus, data generated from a clinical trial that involves four experimental groups, Treatment 1, Treatment 2, Treatments 1 and 2 combined, and a Control, would require 6
t
-tests. Consequently, the chance of making a Type I error (alpha error) increases substantially (or is inflated) because so many computations are being performed. Specifically, the chance of making a Type I error is the number of comparisons multiplied by the alpha level. Thus, ANOVA is the recommended statistical technique for examining differences between more than two groups (
Zar, 2010
).
ANOVA is a procedure that culminates in a statistic called the
F
statistic. It is this value that is compared against an
F
distribution (see
Appendix C
) in order to determine whether the groups significantly differ from one another on the dependent variable. The formulas for ANOVA actually compute two estimates of variance: One estimate represents differences between the groups/conditions, and the other estimate represents differences among (within) the data.
Research Designs Appropriate for the One-Way ANOVA
Research designs that may utilize the one-way ANOVA include the randomized experimental, quasi-experimental, and comparative designs (
Gliner, Morgan, & Leech, 2009
). The independent variable (the “grouping” variable for the ANOVA) may be active or attributional. An active independent variable refers to an intervention, treatment, or program. An attributional independent variable refers to a characteristic of the participant, such as gender, diagnosis, or ethnicity. The ANOVA can compare two groups or more. In the case of a two-group design, the researcher can either select an independent samples
t
-test or a one-way ANOVA to answer the research question. The results will always yield the same conclusion, regardless of which test is computed; however, when examining differences between more than two groups, the one-way ANOVA is the preferred statistical test.
Example 1: A researcher conducts a randomized experimental study wherein she randomizes participants to receive a high-dosage weight loss pill, a low-dosage weight loss pill, or a placebo. She assesses the number of pounds lost from baseline to post-treatment

How do I do a T test, correlation and ANOVA in Spss?
Solution
One-way between-subjects ANOVA A one-way between-subjects ANOVA allows
you to determine if there is a relationship between a categorical independent variable (IV) and a
continuous dependent variable (DV), where each subject is only in one level of the IV. To
determine whether there is a relationship between the IV and the DV, a one-way between-
subjects ANOVA tests whether the means of all of the groups are the same. If there are any
differences among the means, we know that the value of the DV depends on the value of the IV.
The IV in an ANOVA is referred to as a factor, and the different groups composing the IV are
referred to as the levels of the factor. A one-way ANOVA is also sometimes called a single
factor ANOVA. A one-way ANOVA with two groups is analogous to an independent-samples t-
test. The pvalues of the two tests will be the same, and the F statistic from the ANOVA will be
equal to the square of the t statistic from the t-test. To perform a one-way between-subjects
ANOVA in SPSS • Choose Analyze General Linear Model Univariate. • Move the DV to the
Dependent Variable box. • Move the IV to the Fixed Factor(s) box. • Click the OK button. The
output from this analysis will contain the following sections. • Between-Subjects Factors. Lists
how many subjects are in each level of your factor. • Tests of Between-Subjects Effects. The row
next to the name of your factor reports a test of whether there is a significant relationship
between your IV and the DV. A significant F statistic means that at least two group means are
different from each other, indicating the presence of a relationship. You can ask SPSS to provide
you with the means within each level of your between-subjects factor by clicking the Options
button in the variable selection window and moving your withinsubjects variable to the Display
Means For box. This will add a section to your output titled Estimated Marginal Means
containing a table with a row for each level of your factor. The values within each row provide
the mean, standard error of the mean, and the boundaries for a 95% confidence interval around
the mean for observations within that cell. Post-hoc analyses for one-way between-subjects
ANOVA. A significant F statistic tells you that at least two of your means are different from
each other, but does not tell you where the differences may lie. Researchers commonly perform
post-hoc analyses following a significant ANOVA to help them understand the nature of the
relationship between the IV and the DV. The most commonly reported post-hoc tests are (in
order from most to least liberal): LSD (Least Significant Difference test), SNK (Student-
Newman-Keuls), Tukey, and Bonferroni. The more liberal a test is, the more likely it will find a
significant difference between your means, but the more likely it is that this difference is actually
just due to chance. 14 Although it is the most liberal, simulations ha.

Chapter 18 – Pricing Setting in the Business World
There are few Methods for setting pricing – costs methods vs demand methods
Formulas considering costs and mark up will help you to do the Problem set assignment:
1. Markup for setting prices (Mark up $ = SP-CP); MARK UP % = (MU $/SP) X100)
Formula for setting price with the markup method
SP = Cost/(1- Markup %)
Example - retailer buys A hat for $15 and wants a 40% markup, his selling price would be….
SP = 15/(1-.40)=.60
= $25.00
2. Understand Role of different costs – fixed, variable, total costs and average costs
3. What is the breakeven point? Formula for calculating the Break Even point.
BE = Total Fixed Cost/Fixed cost contribution
Fixed Cost Contribution=Price – variable cost
4. Average Cost = when there are many flavors/types of the same product, producer determines average cost and then add the mark up to set a common selling price.
.ANOVA
Analysis of Variance is a method of testing the equality of three or more population
means by analyzing sample variance.
One-Way ANOVA
The one-way ANOVA is used to compare three or more population means when there is
one factor of interest.
Requirements
The populations have distributions that are approximately normal.
The populations have the same variance.
The samples are simple random samples of quantitative data.
The samples are independent of each other.
The different samples are from populations that are categorized in only one.
way
One-Way ANOVA is a hypothesis test. There are seven steps for a hypothesis test.
Example
A professor at a local University believes there is a relationship between head size and
the major of the students in her biostatistics classes. She takes a random sample of 20
students from each of three classes and records their major and head circumference.
The data are shown in the following table.
Step 1: State the null hypothesis.
Mean 1 equals mean 2 equals mean 3 equals mean 4.
Step 2: State the Alternative hypothesis.
At least one mean is different.
Step 3: State the Level of Significance.
The level of significance is 0.05.
Step 4: State the test statistic.
variance between samples
variance within samples
F
The test statistic follows the F distribution which has two degrees of freedom, one for
the numerator and one for the denominator.
The calculations for the test statistic are complicated, so a software program is
generally used for the calculations. We will be using Microsoft Excel for this example.

Assignment 2 Project Paper – Comparative EssayDue Week 8 an.docxkarenahmanny4c
Assignment 2: Project Paper
–
Comparative Essay
Due Week 8 and worth 200 points
This “Assignment 2” writing assignment is a comparative essay focused on topics encountered in our HUM 111 class. The project will be based on research but will reflect your views and interpretation of the topic. This project is designed to help you stretch your mind and your abilities as an organized, innovative, and critical thinker. If approached properly, it should also be fun!
Choose one (1) of the topics from the list of topic choices below. Read the topic carefully. Write a three to four (3-4) page paper (750-1,000 words) that follows instructions and covers each part of the topic. (The title page and References list do not get included in this word count).
Note:
Your instructor may require you to submit your topic choice for approval before the end of Week 5.
For the topic you choose:
Establish a clear thesis about your topic as part of the introductory paragraph (often the thesis is the last thing one determines after doing the basic research and outline; however it will be placed in the first paragraph of your paper).
This is a comparative essay. Comparison approached properly will require some critical thinking on your part. Use a point-by-point approach for the essay. That means, if comparing subject A with subject B, don't do the first half of the essay on subject A and then the second half on subject B--that will seem like two (2) separate essays and comparisons will tend to get lost. Instead, you should be mentioning both subjects in most of your paragraphs as you compare them throughout the essay. Comparisons will identify similarities as well as contrasts.
Do not try to do everything on your two (2) subjects. You should end up narrowing your focus to a few insights and issues about the subjects being compared. And, from those fairly specific points of comparison, you will develop a thesis and glean some lessons.

Assignment 2 Physical Development in Early AdulthoodDuring earl.docxkarenahmanny4c
Assignment 2: Physical Development in Early Adulthood
During early adulthood, people begin make important life decisions in three areas: career, family, and health. Young adults establish patterns of nutrition and physical activity that can have either positive or negative effects on their physical development in later stages of adulthood. They also begin to make decisions about what career path to follow. At some point during early adulthood, individuals also choose either to marry or remain single, and decide whether or not to start a family. Consider the following example:
Jeff is 23 years old. He recently graduated from college with a business degree and took a managerial position with a midsize company. He likes his coworkers, but often finds himself bored with his work. Although he was active in college, recently he has gained about 10 pounds due to his sedentary job and lack of time to exercise. Jeff broke up with his college girlfriend after graduation, and since then he has dated a few different women, but hasn’t had another serious relationship. Jeff wonders what the remainder of his 20’s and his 30’s will bring.
Based on your reading, prepare a PowerPoint presentation that would help individuals like Jeff set goals related to career, health, and family. The presentations should discuss the relationship between lifestyle choices and health risks. In addition, it should address how factors like personality and attachment may influence both career- and family-related goals. Finally, address diversity in the presentation. Explain how your plan could be adapted to fit the needs of different socioeconomic or ethnic groups.
Your PowerPoint presentation should include an introduction, a conclusion, and detailed speaker’s notes. Include your references on one slide.
Develop a 6–8-slide presentation in PowerPoint format with speaker’s notes. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.ppt.

Assignment 2 Overview of Interviewing and InterrogationA criminal.docxkarenahmanny4c
Assignment 2: Overview of Interviewing and Interrogation
A criminal justice professional gathers information through effective interviews and interrogations. Ineffective victim or suspect interviews or interrogations can cost an investigator a case, and understanding the difference between an interview and an interrogation is critical in selecting an appropriate approach for a specific situation. Interviews and interrogations are dynamic, evolving situations, and developing interviewing and interrogation skills takes time and practice. Interrogation involves an accusatory, persuasive approach. Effective interviewers have the ability to quickly establish rapport with their subjects and gain complete, concise, and accurate information about crimes, additional witnesses, and suspects. Building rapport early helps take down barriers to open and clear communication, which is critical in conducting interviews and interrogations.

Further, read the scenario below and answer the following questions too.
Richard and Susan are in the process of a divorce. They had two children together during the course of their marriage. Richard refused to pay Susan child support for their children. Susan cannot support the children on her own and needs Richard to pay child support. Prepare a motion for Pendente Lite Child Support to compel Richard to pay Susan child support.

Assignment 2: Library Research—Training Police Recruits
Chief Draper has noticed that the behavior of many of his officers reflects a lack of understanding of many basic criminal justice concepts. Last week, he received a complaint about a patrol officer with ten years of experience on the force. The complaint alleged that the officer pulled over a car for a traffic violation and allowed the driver to leave with a verbal warning after the driver gave him free football game tickets. Another complaint involved the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) supervisor. In this complaint, it is alleged that the SWAT team broke down the door of a suspected drug dealer only to find that it had the wrong house. The team later found the suspected dealer at another location and arrested and interrogated him before reading the Miranda warnings. These are only a few of the complaints being reviewed, and Chief Draper believes that police recruits need more training on the following topics:
Discretion
Ethics
Probable cause
Plain view doctrine
Arrest
Good faith exception
Miranda
Reasonable suspicion
Use of force
Racial profiling
Tasks:
Prepare a 12- to 14-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation with your recommendations of the important points that should be addressed in the training of police recruits.
Devote at least one slide to each of the ten topics listed.
Use court cases to support your explanations.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

1. Assignment 2: Tests of Significance
Throughout this assignment you will review mock studies. You
will needs to follow the directions outlined in the section using
SPSS and decide whether there is significance between the
variables. You will need to list the five steps of hypothesis
testing (as covered in the lesson for Week 6) to see how
every
question should be formatted. You will complete all of the
problems. Be sure to cut and past the appropriate test result
boxes from SPSS under each problem and explain what you will
do with your research hypotheses.
All calculations should be coming from your SPSS
. You will need to submit the SPSS output file to get credit for
this assignment. This file will save as a .spv file and will need
to be in a single file. In other words, you are not allowed to
submit more than one output file for this assignment.
The five steps of hypothesis testing when using SPSS are as
follows:
State your research hypothesis (H
1
) and null hypothesis (H
0
).
Identify your significance level (.05 or .01)
Conduct your analysis using SPSS.
Look for the valid score for comparison. This score is usually
under ‘Sig 2-tail’ or ‘Sig. 2’. We will call this “p”.
Compare the two and apply the following rule:
If “p” is < or = significance level, than you reject the null.
Be sure to explain to the reader what this means in regards to
your study. (Ex: will you recommend counseling services?)
2. * Be sure that your answers are clearly distinguishable. Perhaps
you bold your font or use a different color.

3.
Six months after an industrial accident, a researcher has been
asked to compare the job satisfaction of employees who
participated in counseling sessions with the satisfaction of
employees who chose not to participate.
The scores on a job satisfaction inventory for both groups are
listed in the table below.
Use the five steps of hypothesis testing
to determine whether the job satisfaction scores of the group
that participated in counseling are statistically higher than the
scores of employees who did not participate in counseling at the
.01 level of significance.
As part of Step 5, indicate whether the researcher should
recommend counseling as a method to improve job satisfaction
following industrial accidents based on evaluation of the null
hypothesis and calculate the measure of association.
NOTE: Do not forget to give a numeric value for those who
participated in counseling (e.g. 0) and those who did not
participate in counseling (e.g. 1).

ANOVA (20 points)
Open SPSS
Analyze the data for #1. Remember that SPSS assumes that all
the scores in a row are from the same participant. In this study,
there are 15 participants divided into three groups of five.
Therefore, each of the 15 participants will be described by two
variables, type of therapy and the number of activities of daily
living performed.
If “1” represents the group receiving individual therapy for 1
hour every 2 weeks, “2” represents the group receiving 1 hour
of individual therapy each week, and “3” indicates the group
receiving 2 hours of individual therapy each week, the first
participant will be described by entering “1” in the top cell of
the first column in the Data View window and “16” in the top
cell of the second column to indicate that the participant
underwent 1 hour of therapy every 2 weeks and performed 16
activities of daily living. The second participant will be
described by “1” and “15”, and the third by “1” and “18”.
9. When the two variables have been entered for the five
participants in this group, repeat the process for participants
who underwent 1 hour of individual therapy each week, using
“2” to describe their therapy group. When the two variables for
the five participants in this group have been entered, repeat the
process for Group 3, entering “3” in the first column. In the
Variable View window, change the first variable name to
“THERAPY” and the second to “ADL” and set the decimals for
both to zero.

Since “THERAPY” is already selected, you can click the arrow
to move the variable to the Factor window. Select “ADL” and
click the arrow to move the variable to the Dependent List
window, which instruct SPSS to conduct the analysis of
variance on the number of activities performed.
Click “Options” and click the box labeled “Descriptive” to
obtain descriptive statistics.
Click Continue.
Click OK.

Keep in mind that the clients in Group 1 will receive 1 hour of
therapy every 2 weeks, the clients in Group 2 will receive 1
hour of therapy every week, and the clients in Group 3 will
receive 2 hours of therapy every week.
Use the five steps of hypothesis testing to determine whether
the observed differences in the number of activities in the
10. following table performed by the three groups are statistically
significant at the .05 level of significance.
Clearly indicate each of the five steps.

SPSS instructions:
Chi-Square Test for Goodness of Fit:
Open SPSS
Remember that SPSS assumes that all the scores in a row are
from the same participant. In the study presented in #1, there
are 20 students, some of whom have been suspended for
misbehavior. The primary conflict-resolution style used by each
student is also entered. [Ignore the first variable in this
analysis.]
When you have entered the data for all 20 students, move to the
Variable View window and change the first variable name to
“SUSPEND” and the second to “STYLE”. Set the number of
decimals for both variables to zero.
Click Analyze
à
Non-Parametric Tests
à
Chi-Square
Click the variable “STYLE” and then the arrow next to the box
labeled “Test Variable List” to indicate that the chi-square for
goodness of fit should be conducted on the conflict-resolution
style variable.
Note that “All categories equal” is the default selection in the
“Expected Values” box, which means that SPSS will conduct
12. the goodness of fit test using equal expected frequencies for
each of the four styles, in other words, SPSS will assume that
the proportions of students each style are equal.
Click OK.
Chi-Square Test for Independence:
Open SPSS
For #2, you need to add the variable “SUSPEND” to the
analysis. Remember that in this problem, we are interested in
whether there was an association between conflict-resolution
style and having been suspended from school for misbehavior.
Since the analysis will involve two nominal variables, the
appropriate test is a chi-square test for independence.
