For full credit, all explanations must be given in the spaces provided. Upload this modified Answer Form to the intellipath Unit 2 Submission lesson. Make sure that you submit your work in a modified Microsoft Word document; scanned or handwritten work will not be accepted. If you need assistance, please contact your course instructor.
All of the commonly used formulas for geometric objects are just the mathematical models of the characteristics of physical objects. For example, because a basketball is approximately a sphere, it can be partially modeled by its distance from one side through the center (radius, r) and then to the other side by the diameter formula for a sphere, D = 2r.
For the two-dimensional variables of length (L) and width (W), the perimeter and area formulas for a rectangle are mathematical models for the distance around a rectangle (perimeter, P) and the region enclosed by the sides (area, A), respectively, as follows:
P = 2L + 2W and A = L × W
Along with another variable, height (H), a three-dimensional rectangular prism’s volume and surface area can be measured. For example, the formulas for a common closed cardboard box’s inside space (volume, V) and outside covering (surface area, SA) are, respectively, as follows:
V = L x W x H and SA = 2(L x W) + 2(W x H) + 2(L x H)

Painting a Bedroom
The walls and ceiling inside your bedroom need to be painted. To save money, you decide that you will paint the bedroom yourself. Use the following information to solve this problem:
· The bedroom is 17 feet long by 18 feet wide, and the ceiling is 9 feet high.
· The inside of the bedroom door will be painted the same color as the walls.
· Two coats of paint will be applied to all of the painted surfaces.
· The room has one window, measuring 3 feet, 9 inches by 4 feet, which will not be painted.

Project Requirement :
Creativity Creativity involves the generation of new ideas or the recombination of known elements into something new, providing valuable solutions to a problem. It also involves motivation and emotion. Creativity “is a fundamental feature of human intelligence in general. It is grounded in everyday capacities such as the association of ideas, reminding, perception, analogical thinking, searching a structured problem-space, and reflecting self-criticism. It involves not only a cognitive dimension (the generation of new ideas) but also motivation and emotion, and is closely linked to cultural context and personality factors.” (Boden 1998).
Fundamental concepts for all creative techniques are:

TOPIC 6: NEGOTIATION
Negotiation is a highly important personal and professional skill which presents itself with numerous challenges. Understanding how to successfully negotiate with a variety of persons is important for effective communication across a variety of contexts. Complete both part one and part two of this assignment.
Part One: Role Play
Directions
: choose ONE of the scenarios from the attached "Negotiation Scenarios" document, or an alternative scenario approved by your instructor.
To successfully do your negotiation, follow the Seven Elements of Principled Negotiation found in the textbook and use those during your selected "Negotiation Scenario." For this assignment, you will serve as the initiating party of the negotiation. The objective is to gain a better understanding of the negotiation process and how each step functions.
You will need to solicit the help of one person. This person will take on the role of the adversarial party in your selected scenario.
One Volunteer
Please solicit the help of one volunteer, this can be a friend, family member, or classmate. This volunteer will help you role play the negotiation scenario. Share your selected scenario with the volunteer and inform them that there is no verbatim script, so they are encouraged to behave the way they feel the participant would in a real negotiation. Encourage your volunteer to approach this in a serious and realistic fashion when advocating for their assigned position. The provided scenarios should require about 20 minutes of your volunteers time in order to properly address the negotiation.
*To help orient your instructor, state the role you took and the goals you set out with in your essay. Additionally, include the name of your volunteer in your essay.
Part Two: Essay
After conducting the negotiation, write a 1,250-1,750-word paper that discusses your experience and cites at least four credible and authoritative references. In your paper, analyze and reflect on your experience negotiating using the Seven Principles of Negotiation. Consider the following prompts:
1. Were you able to focus on the relationship or did it become competitive?
2. What elements of communication were you able to attend to and which did you struggle the most with?
3. Did you remain on the interest or did it get personal?
4. What options did you generate for the outcome?
5. What were your solution criteria?
6. Did you achieve your desired outcome or use the BATNA?
7. Was the commitment fair and realistic? How so?
8. How might this negotiation have been different if it were real and not a role play?
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide.

Topic 2 DQ 1Qualitative research is a research method which .docxherthaweston
Topic 2 DQ 1
Qualitative research is a research method which does not use numeric variables; it contributes knowledge or understanding by describing situations within certain groups or populations of interest. Data is often collected through interviews and observation (Helbig, 2018). Typically, when conducting qualitative research, there are enormous amounts of data which must be gathered, transcribed and managed. This amount of data can be overwhelming to the researcher, which may lead to confusing and erroneous results. There are ways to process the information into a quality study. First, researchers need to remain focused on the research question and the process to answer the question. Johnson et al. (2020) state, “Identifying and developing a research topic is comprised of two major tasks: formulating a research question and developing a conceptual framework to support the study.” Many times, the research question is too broad and too vague, which makes processing the information difficult. Additionally, the study should finish with a focused conclusion to help carry the focus through the entirety of the study. Wu et al. (2016) stated, “The process should be systematic (dependability) and well-documented in the analysis section of a qualitative manuscript.”
Second, Watkins suggests using the RADaR technique to manage all of the data. RADaR stand for Rigorous And accelerated Data Reduction. “The RADaR technique involves using tables and spreadsheets from general-purpose, word-processing software to develop all-inclusive data tables that undergo several revisions. These revisions, called “data reduction,” help produce shorter, more concise data tables” (Watkins, 2017). This process converts raw data into more manageable and user-friendly format.
Using 200-300 words APA format with refences to supporting this discussion
Qualitative data has been described as voluminous and sometimes overwhelming to the researcher. Discuss two strategies that would help a researcher manage and organize the data.

Topic 2 DQ 1Child abuse is any Act of Violence either physic.docxherthaweston
Topic 2 DQ 1
Child abuse is any Act of Violence either physical or emotional towards an individual under 18 years of age. Children of all age group are at risk of such forms of abusive activities. It is been estimated that globally around 1 million cases of child abuse (2 to 17 years) in form of physical, emotional and sexual violence and neglect occurred in the previous year(U.S Department of Health and Human Services, 2019)
Types of abuse
Physical abuse : This involves all forms of activities that cause physical or physiological harm to a child, examples are beating, biting, shaking and burning, and it’s prevalent among children of all ages.
Psychological abuse: This might involve mental torturing such as verbal abuse or terrorizing a child as well as humiliation. All these forms may cause psychological illness in the victims. Usually toddler, preschool, and school-age years are exposed to psychological forms of abuse.
Sexual abuse: This includes involving minors or children below 18 years in sexual activities. Sexual abuse includes direct and indirect sexual activities that the child may not be able to comprehend, most victim of sexual abuse are preschoolers and school age children, but rare cases of infant and toddler abuse are also reported in many countries(U.S Department of Health and Human Services, 2019)
Signs of abuse:
Adolescent/Child will likely exhibit the following characteristics:
Failing grades at school
Difficulties relating with others of engaging in any meaningful relationship
Increased incidence of theft, arrest, and violence
Promiscuous behaviors
Poor hygiene, and unkempt
Facial injuries with no cogent explanations
Abnormal weight gain or loss.Frequent elopements (U.S Department of Health and Human Services, 2019)
Cultural variations and child abuse
:
According to UNICEF 2022 data on female genital mutilation, about 200 million girls in 31 counties are victim of such practices. In some part of Africa, this form of child abuse is a norm for the female especially teenagers, the main reason for genital mutilation is preventing victims from promiscuity(UNICEF : For every child, 2020)
Nurse's role in reporting child abuse
Any forms of child abuse must be immediately reported to the police as well as child care authorities functioning under the state government.
When a nurse suspects a child abuse, it must be immediately reported to the physician or the senior in charge nurse.
If the child is with the person suspected to be an abuser, the further assessment must be done after eliminating the person from the room.
Ensure that the child is comfortable and then a head to toe assessment must be performed.
At the time of examination it is advisable to have a witness probably from the medical profession.
A nurse must properly record the significant assessment findings suggestive of abusive activity with date and time.
In my state the Department of child welfare referral are made who will take the incident o.
TOPIC 1 Active Listening Skill Set; Assessing your Listening Skills.docxherthaweston
TOPIC 1: Active Listening Skill Set; Assessing your Listening Skills, Barriers to Active Listening, and Improving your Listening Skills
First, we will look at "What is an Active Listener"? It’s a great question. Are you someone who while another is speaking is already preparing in your head your next statement?
I have had experiences where I was talking to a person who was not listening at all. Some have even been engaged with their phones, pretending to listen. It can be very discouraging!
Hoppe (2014) briefly stated:
Active listening is the willingness and ability to hear and understand. At its core, active listening is a state of mind that involves paying full and careful attention to others. Avoiding premature judgment, reflecting understanding, clarifying information, summarizing and sharing are the steps to great listening. By learning and committing to these skills and behaviors, leaders can become more active listeners and, over time, improve their ability to lead.
Listening with your heart.
I am still learning to do this. Yeshua listened to others with His heart. "Yeshua who was a great teacher listened without prejudice. There is an example where we can especially see His interaction with the woman at the well (Jn. 4:4-42 NIV).
Despite culture, gender, racial, and moral strikes against her, Yeshua lovingly interacted with her … both listening and talking" (
taken from Train Christian Leaders website
)
Humphries (2012) expands on this….
Emotional listening involves a range of qualities: politeness, political intelligence, an awareness of verbal and non-verbal cues, and a willingness to make the exchange enjoyable. (Humphrey, 2012, p. 55)
Learning Activities
Activity 3:1 My Listening Skills
Complete the following activities to learn about and assess your listening skills:
a) Reading: Read Hoppe, M. (2014).
Active Listening: Improve Your Ability to Listen and Lead.
b) Active Listening Assessment: Read the questions given and answer them by rating yourself on your listening behaviors towards others.
c) How to Improve Your Listening Skills After taking the self-assessment. If you gave yourself a 4 or 5 rating on any question, you will find that item on pages 16 through 20 (Note:

Activity 3:2 Levels of Listening
Leadership communication is not only about what you say, it’s about how you respond to others. Your listening skills are crucial to your ability to understand and respond to thinking that may be different from your own.
All leaders must cultivate their listening on three levels:
LISTEN PHYSICALLY
Be present. You must be “in the moment” to connect with others.
Use open body language and eye contact to create rapport.
Eliminate physical distractions such as laptops, phones, and papers.
LISTEN MENTALLY
Stay with the speaker—rather than skipping ahead in your mind.

Further, it will address the practices of the private sector employment that affects the ability of people to work and make their living above the poverty line and this mostly applies to the youths, unmarried dependent adults. The proposal is meant to make the public policy more inclusive, collaborative and responsive to the interests of the ordinary citizen so as to prepare them for their future life.
From the proposed amendment, there are measurable goals that will determine the level of success of the policy change proposal and this will include: First, by the end of the year we expect 60% of unmarried adult children to be independent and live an economically viable lifestyle. Second, by the end of 2018, the rate of poverty to reduce by 19% since the country will be composed of economically productive youths. Lastly, we expect the employment rate in the country to increase by 26% thereby increasing the economy of the country (Dillon, Erin & Rotherham 2009).
Policy change options
“Do nothing option” is when one does offer no initiative for change characterized by unwillingness and inability to take responsibility or work towards an achievement. Incremental change option is the step of making small adjustments to the expected end results, and mostly it does not alter or threaten the existing structure of the youthful age or alter the current methods of family management in this case of the change proposal. A major change option is the one that will alter the content, structure, the scheme of assessment and the mode of provision of the programs in question i.e. it will entail deletion, addition and replacement to a substantial part of the program or the act of law (Detixhe 2011).
Financial criteria
Substantive funding stream is the amount of money that is existing independently of others and is in large quantity. Likelihood of ongoing funding is the amount of money that is required to fund the ongoing operation of future developments of a project that is not currently provided for in terms of cash, debt or equity. Ability to meet current and future demands of the proposal is all about sustainability of our society as per the future and the current needs and makes appropriate changes in the way we live (Center on Education Policy 2007).Political feasibility is t.

Project Requirement :
Creativity Creativity involves the generation of new ideas or the recombination of known elements into something new, providing valuable solutions to a problem. It also involves motivation and emotion. Creativity “is a fundamental feature of human intelligence in general. It is grounded in everyday capacities such as the association of ideas, reminding, perception, analogical thinking, searching a structured problem-space, and reflecting self-criticism. It involves not only a cognitive dimension (the generation of new ideas) but also motivation and emotion, and is closely linked to cultural context and personality factors.” (Boden 1998).
Fundamental concepts for all creative techniques are:

TOPIC 6: NEGOTIATION
Negotiation is a highly important personal and professional skill which presents itself with numerous challenges. Understanding how to successfully negotiate with a variety of persons is important for effective communication across a variety of contexts. Complete both part one and part two of this assignment.
Part One: Role Play
Directions
: choose ONE of the scenarios from the attached "Negotiation Scenarios" document, or an alternative scenario approved by your instructor.
To successfully do your negotiation, follow the Seven Elements of Principled Negotiation found in the textbook and use those during your selected "Negotiation Scenario." For this assignment, you will serve as the initiating party of the negotiation. The objective is to gain a better understanding of the negotiation process and how each step functions.
You will need to solicit the help of one person. This person will take on the role of the adversarial party in your selected scenario.
One Volunteer
Please solicit the help of one volunteer, this can be a friend, family member, or classmate. This volunteer will help you role play the negotiation scenario. Share your selected scenario with the volunteer and inform them that there is no verbatim script, so they are encouraged to behave the way they feel the participant would in a real negotiation. Encourage your volunteer to approach this in a serious and realistic fashion when advocating for their assigned position. The provided scenarios should require about 20 minutes of your volunteers time in order to properly address the negotiation.
*To help orient your instructor, state the role you took and the goals you set out with in your essay. Additionally, include the name of your volunteer in your essay.
Part Two: Essay
After conducting the negotiation, write a 1,250-1,750-word paper that discusses your experience and cites at least four credible and authoritative references. In your paper, analyze and reflect on your experience negotiating using the Seven Principles of Negotiation. Consider the following prompts:
1. Were you able to focus on the relationship or did it become competitive?
2. What elements of communication were you able to attend to and which did you struggle the most with?
3. Did you remain on the interest or did it get personal?
4. What options did you generate for the outcome?
5. What were your solution criteria?
6. Did you achieve your desired outcome or use the BATNA?
7. Was the commitment fair and realistic? How so?
8. How might this negotiation have been different if it were real and not a role play?
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Topic 2 DQ 1Qualitative research is a research method which .docxherthaweston
Topic 2 DQ 1
Qualitative research is a research method which does not use numeric variables; it contributes knowledge or understanding by describing situations within certain groups or populations of interest. Data is often collected through interviews and observation (Helbig, 2018). Typically, when conducting qualitative research, there are enormous amounts of data which must be gathered, transcribed and managed. This amount of data can be overwhelming to the researcher, which may lead to confusing and erroneous results. There are ways to process the information into a quality study. First, researchers need to remain focused on the research question and the process to answer the question. Johnson et al. (2020) state, “Identifying and developing a research topic is comprised of two major tasks: formulating a research question and developing a conceptual framework to support the study.” Many times, the research question is too broad and too vague, which makes processing the information difficult. Additionally, the study should finish with a focused conclusion to help carry the focus through the entirety of the study. Wu et al. (2016) stated, “The process should be systematic (dependability) and well-documented in the analysis section of a qualitative manuscript.”
Second, Watkins suggests using the RADaR technique to manage all of the data. RADaR stand for Rigorous And accelerated Data Reduction. “The RADaR technique involves using tables and spreadsheets from general-purpose, word-processing software to develop all-inclusive data tables that undergo several revisions. These revisions, called “data reduction,” help produce shorter, more concise data tables” (Watkins, 2017). This process converts raw data into more manageable and user-friendly format.

Topic 2 DQ 1Child abuse is any Act of Violence either physic.docxherthaweston
Topic 2 DQ 1
Child abuse is any Act of Violence either physical or emotional towards an individual under 18 years of age. Children of all age group are at risk of such forms of abusive activities. It is been estimated that globally around 1 million cases of child abuse (2 to 17 years) in form of physical, emotional and sexual violence and neglect occurred in the previous year(U.S Department of Health and Human Services, 2019)
Types of abuse
Physical abuse : This involves all forms of activities that cause physical or physiological harm to a child, examples are beating, biting, shaking and burning, and it’s prevalent among children of all ages.
Psychological abuse: This might involve mental torturing such as verbal abuse or terrorizing a child as well as humiliation. All these forms may cause psychological illness in the victims. Usually toddler, preschool, and school-age years are exposed to psychological forms of abuse.
Sexual abuse: This includes involving minors or children below 18 years in sexual activities. Sexual abuse includes direct and indirect sexual activities that the child may not be able to comprehend, most victim of sexual abuse are preschoolers and school age children, but rare cases of infant and toddler abuse are also reported in many countries(U.S Department of Health and Human Services, 2019)
Signs of abuse:
Adolescent/Child will likely exhibit the following characteristics:
Failing grades at school
Difficulties relating with others of engaging in any meaningful relationship
Increased incidence of theft, arrest, and violence
Promiscuous behaviors
Poor hygiene, and unkempt
Facial injuries with no cogent explanations
Abnormal weight gain or loss.Frequent elopements (U.S Department of Health and Human Services, 2019)
Cultural variations and child abuse
:
According to UNICEF 2022 data on female genital mutilation, about 200 million girls in 31 counties are victim of such practices. In some part of Africa, this form of child abuse is a norm for the female especially teenagers, the main reason for genital mutilation is preventing victims from promiscuity(UNICEF : For every child, 2020)
Nurse's role in reporting child abuse
Any forms of child abuse must be immediately reported to the police as well as child care authorities functioning under the state government.
When a nurse suspects a child abuse, it must be immediately reported to the physician or the senior in charge nurse.
If the child is with the person suspected to be an abuser, the further assessment must be done after eliminating the person from the room.
Ensure that the child is comfortable and then a head to toe assessment must be performed.
At the time of examination it is advisable to have a witness probably from the medical profession.
A nurse must properly record the significant assessment findings suggestive of abusive activity with date and time.
In my state the Department of child welfare referral are made who will take the incident o.
TOPIC 1 Active Listening Skill Set; Assessing your Listening Skills.docxherthaweston
TOPIC 1: Active Listening Skill Set; Assessing your Listening Skills, Barriers to Active Listening, and Improving your Listening Skills
First, we will look at "What is an Active Listener"? It’s a great question. Are you someone who while another is speaking is already preparing in your head your next statement?
I have had experiences where I was talking to a person who was not listening at all. Some have even been engaged with their phones, pretending to listen. It can be very discouraging!
Hoppe (2014) briefly stated:
Active listening is the willingness and ability to hear and understand. At its core, active listening is a state of mind that involves paying full and careful attention to others. Avoiding premature judgment, reflecting understanding, clarifying information, summarizing and sharing are the steps to great listening. By learning and committing to these skills and behaviors, leaders can become more active listeners and, over time, improve their ability to lead.
Listening with your heart.
I am still learning to do this. Yeshua listened to others with His heart. "Yeshua who was a great teacher listened without prejudice. There is an example where we can especially see His interaction with the woman at the well (Jn. 4:4-42 NIV).
Despite culture, gender, racial, and moral strikes against her, Yeshua lovingly interacted with her … both listening and talking" (
taken from Train Christian Leaders website
)
Humphries (2012) expands on this….
Emotional listening involves a range of qualities: politeness, political intelligence, an awareness of verbal and non-verbal cues, and a willingness to make the exchange enjoyable. (Humphrey, 2012, p. 55)

Activity 3:2 Levels of Listening
Leadership communication is not only about what you say, it’s about how you respond to others. Your listening skills are crucial to your ability to understand and respond to thinking that may be different from your own.
All leaders must cultivate their listening on three levels:
LISTEN PHYSICALLY
Be present. You must be “in the moment” to connect with others.
Use open body language and eye contact to create rapport.
Eliminate physical distractions such as laptops, phones, and papers.
LISTEN MENTALLY
Stay with the speaker—rather than skipping ahead in your mind.

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.

handwritten work will not be accepted. If you need assistance,
please contact your course instructor.
All of the commonly used formulas for geometric objects are
just the mathematical models of the characteristics of physical
objects. For example, because a basketball is approximately a
sphere, it can be partially modeled by its distance from one side
through the center (radius, r) and then to the other side by the
diameter formula for a sphere, D = 2r.
For the two-dimensional variables of length (L) and width (W),
the perimeter and area formulas for a rectangle are
mathematical models for the distance around a rectangle
(perimeter, P) and the region enclosed by the sides (area, A),
respectively, as follows:
P = 2L + 2W and A = L × W
Along with another variable, height (H), a three-dimensional
rectangular prism’s volume and surface area can be measured.
For example, the formulas for a common closed cardboard box’s
inside space (volume, V) and outside covering (surface area,
SA) are, respectively, as follows:
V = L x W x H and SA = 2(L x W) + 2(W x H) + 2(L x H)
2. For this Submission Assignment, follow Pólya’s principles to

Painting a Bedroom
The walls and ceiling inside your bedroom need to be painted.
To save money, you decide that you will paint the bedroom
yourself. Use the following information to solve this problem:
· The bedroom is 17 feet long by 18 feet wide, and the ceiling is
9 feet high.
· The inside of the bedroom door will be painted the same color
as the walls.
· Two coats of paint will be applied to all of the painted
surfaces.
· The room has one window, measuring 3 feet, 9 inches by 4
feet, which will not be painted.
Pólya’s Principle Step 1: Understand the Problem

PROJECT 3 DESCRIPTION
For this project, you are being asked to produce a report on the
differences in a social value related to a UN
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) using data comparing the
US and another country/region (of your
choice). Specifically, you’ll be asked to select a country/region
of choice and a social value variable, do a little
background research, assert a hypothesis, report descriptive
statistics, perform a t-test, make a decision with
respect to that hypothesis, discuss whether or not the results
make intuitive sense, and related back to a UN
SDG. This project embodies all of the learning goals and
objectives as listed in the syllabus.
1. the vocabulary and symbols used in social statistics
2. how to measure variables and test relationships at different
levels
3. the basics of descriptive and inferential statistics
4. to become critical consumers of statistical information
5. about global systems and issues and associated dimensions
11. (e.g., historical, political, economic, social,
cultural, environmental, technological)
6. to analyze global interrelationships and interdependencies
across place and time
7. to formally report findings from statistical analyses
REQUIRED MATERIALS
For this project, you will need the following items:
• Your NOTES from lessons 1 through 4; 8.1 and 8.2
• A word processing program to type up your final REPORT
(e.g., Microsoft Word)
• The SPSS data analysis program
• The Project 3 data file (Project 3 STA2122 Class Data

PROJECT INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: The variables you choose to examine in this project do
not have to be related to those you
12. presented in Project #1 or #2.
An independent-samples hypothesis test helps us determine if
two groups (for example, cats and dogs)
substantively differ with respect to a social value as measured
by an interval-ratio variable (for example,
feelings about lasagna measured on a scale from 1 to 10). For
this project, you will be asked to prepare a
report that tells us how two groups (for example, the US and
Spain) differ with respect to one social value
variable related to a UN SDG of your choice. Stated differently,
you’ll be comparing local and global data and
relating it back to the Sustainable Development Goals set forth
by the United Nations.
Project Organization:
1. Variable List (10 points) Read through the Codebook and see
what variable interests you.
2. Background Research (15 points) Select and relate your
variable to a UN SDG (or pick another variable).
3. Hypothesis statement (10 points) Tell me how the outcome
variable (DV) will differ based on country (IV).
4. Descriptive statistics (15 points) Use statistics to describe the
sample data for each variable.
5. Annotated test statistics (15 points) Perform a statistical test
and explain the what the stats mean.
6. Hypothesis decision (10 points) Do you reject or fail to reject
your null hypothesis?
7. Reflection (15 points) Unpack how your findings fit into the
bigger picture.
8. Presentation Quality (10 points) Could a stranger pick up
your report and understand it?
Stepwise instructions. For information on how to perform these
tests in SPSS, please refer to the Analysis
instructions (APPENDIX B).
13. Component Requirements:
1. Variable List. This part is easy – in a couple of sentences,
tell us about your two variables of interest.
Make sure you label and describe them clearly. Here’s what you
need to do first:
a. Review the codebook (APPENDIX A) and select two
variables you’re interested in researching
and analyzing.
b. Go here to read about the UN SDGs:
https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/?menu=1300
c. Select one dichotomous grouping variable (a.k.a., an
independent variable). This variable will help
you sort your class-level data from another country’s data.
Include the question language and
categories in your write-up.
d. Select one outcome social value variable (a.k.a., a dependent
variable). This variable should be
something you’d be interested in researching related to any UN
SDG. The only requirement is that
it’s measured on an interval-ratio level and you will need to do
some background research on it.
Include the question language and categories in your write-up.
2. Background Research. Here, in a half-page, you should
provide us with a small report about your
social variable of interest (e.g., feelings about lasagna) and how
it operates in both the United States and
another country of your choosing (please check the codebook
below for countries with available data).
14. Your critical thinking and this background research should
inform a comparative research
question. The goal here is to inform the reader beyond reporting
the numbers -- you should be able to
illustrate how this value is different or similar on local and
global levels. You should also illustrate how
investigating this variable will enhance our understanding of a
particular UN SDG. Your research question
should inform your hypothesis.
a. YOU MUST UTILIZE TWO VALID EXTERNAL SOURCES
OF INFORMATION HERE.

3. Hypothesis statement. The goal of an independent samples t-
test is to assess how two different
groups vary with respect to one outcome variable. I would like
you to clearly write one null and one
research hypothesis using statistical language. Please indicate if
your hypothesis is one- or two- tailed. If
you need to, please include a narration/explanation of the
hypothesis. Lesson 8.2 will show you how to set
up an independent-samples hypothesis test.
4. Descriptive statistics. In a small paragraph, please provide us
with descriptive statistics for your
sample. For each group, please include the following: a
description of the frequencies, central tendency,
and variability (i.e., the mean, the standard deviation, and the
15. standard error of the mean). Keep in mind
that you may be reporting on a variable measured on a scale ‘1-
4’ or ‘0-10,’ so what does your obtained
mean value REALLY indicate? What does this value say about
your population? (i.e., who are you talking
about)?
a. Use SPSS to generate these statistics (See APPENDIX B it’s
super easy).
b. Refer to your notes from lessons 1-4 for how to interpret
these values.
5. Annotated test statistics. Perform an independent-samples
hypothesis test in SPSS. Report and label
the following statistics. For each, include a one-sentence
interpretation of what that value means. Please
assume equal variances.
§ mean difference
§ standard error of the difference
§ the degrees of freedom
§ the obtained t-statistic
§ the t-critical
§ the P value
6. Hypothesis decision. Using appropriate statistical language
(double check with the book), state your
decision regarding your hypothesis in one sentence. In a few
other lines, explain to us what this decision
means. Assume your α (alpha) is set at a 0.05 level.
7. Reflection. In a full paragraph, provide an informed
reflection. Referring back to your background
16. research (including the research on your UN SDG), your
descriptive statistics, and your hypothesis test,
tell us about what you found! You can use the following
questions to guide you: What does a previous
study related to this information tell us? Why do you think you
obtained this result? What are the
implications of your results for your UN SDG? Is your variable
measured in the best way possible? What
do your findings say about the sample? Is it generalizable to the
globe? If not, then whom? Are your
findings consistent with other findings? What importance does
your test have in advancing knowledge?
Most importantly – what further research needs to be done on
this issue?

EXAMPLE PROJECT
The following example demonstrates how a PROJECT MIGHT
look. The data in this sample is derived from
another source and some information has been removed and
redacted to reduce copying. In lieu of countries,
I use gender as my sorting variable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------
1. Variable List. The variables I chose to explore in this report
22. are gender and mental health. Gender
is my dichotomous sorting variable. It’s measured with two
categories that include ‘women’ and ‘men.’
My variable of interest – my outcome variable -- is mental
health, which is derived from a question
asking how many poor mental health days they have
experienced in the past 30 days. Mental health is
measured on an interval-ratio and responses can range from 0 to
30.
a. NOTE: You will be required to label which variable is
dependent and which is independent.
2. Background Research. I elected to look at gender differences
in mental health because there is a
lot of literature about these issues. Here is where I might assert
a comparative research question.
When it comes to gender, women and men may have similar
rates of mental illness; however, women
may report or experience more depression than their men
counterparts, who tend to externalize in
the form of antisocial behavior. One of the reasons for this may
be because women are more
comfortable reporting issues related to mental health, more
likely to go to a doctor, and have the
vocabulary to explain their emotions (research on gender
socialization). Other sources point to the
increased social expectations on women to work in the paid
workplace, at home and on their
appearance.
a. NOTE: Your reflection should be about two paragraphs in
length, be informed by two
sources, discuss how youre research is related to a UN SDG,
and should compare and
23. contrast research in the US with research on another country.
b. SOURCE:
http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/68884/1/a85573.pdf
3. Hypothesis statement.
a. My null hypothesis states that there is not a statistically
significant difference in the mean days of
poor mental health between women and men.
b. My research hypothesis is that there is a statistically
significant difference in the mean days of
poor mental health between women and men. This is a two-
tailed hypothesis.
4. Descriptive Statistics. Given my background research, and as
you may have detected by my
hypothesis, I suspect women’s and men’s mental health to be
different. Below I’m reporting the
descriptive statistics for both groups (gender) on my dependent
variable (mental health days). It
appears here that, as I kind of expected, women report more
poor mental health days in the past
month than men by one day. Here is a sentence where I might
discuss what the mean of each group
indicates. The mean is the average number of days out of 30
that a person experienced poor mental
health. In the next sentence, I’ll provide an interpretation of the
standard deviation, which is higher
than the mean – this is important and I should tell you what that
indicates! And in a final sentence, here
is something about the standard error.
24. 7
a. Group 1: Men (they are coded "1" in the data)
i. Mean days of poor mental health in past month: 3.43
ii. Standard Deviation: 6.314
iii. Standard Error of Mean: .321
b. Group 2: Women (they are coded "2" in the data)
i. Mean days of poor mental health in past month: 4.18
ii. Standard Deviation: 6.644
iii. Standard Error: .351
5. Annotated test statistics.
a. Mean Difference: -0.752. A mean difference of -0.752
indicates that ________.
b. Std. Error of the difference: .475
c. Obtained t-statistic: -1.582. My t-obtained is -1.582, which
indicates that _______.
d. Degrees of Freedom: 742. The df for this test is 742, which
indicates that _______.
e. t-critical: +/- 1.960 (I had to use Appendix C in my
textbook!) My t-critical is 1.960, which is
_________ compared with my t-obtained of -1.582.
f. p-value: < .0001. A p-value of ".0001" indicates that
_______.
6. Hypothesis decision. Is this a significant mean difference
between your two groups with respect
to your outcome variable? Did women have more poor mental
health days than men? Report your
25. decision as whether you reject or fail to reject the null
hypothesis and why you came to this decision.
(1-2 sentences). Does that necessarily mean that your research
hypothesis is definitively true? We are
evaluating your ability to read, interpret, and report findings
from statistical tests here.
7. Reflection. In a full paragraph, provide an informed
reflection. Referring back to your background
research, your descriptive statistics, and your hypothesis test,
tell us about what you found! You can
use the following questions to guide you: What does a previous
study related to this information tell
us? Why do you think you obtained this result? What are the
implications of your results for the UN
SDG you’re looking into? Is your variable measured in the best
way possible? What do your findings
say about the sample? Is it generalizable to the globe? If not,
then whom? Are your findings consistent
with other findings? What importance does your test have in
advancing knowledge? Most importantly –
what further research needs to be done on this issue?

APPENDIX B: SPSS ANALYSIS INSTRUCTIONS
Independent Samples T-Test
In the second portion of Project 3, you will conduct a two-tailed
independent samples t-test. This is covered
In more detail in the second half of the chapter on hypothesis
testing. Once your data are open, click
“Analyze”, then “Compare Means”, and finally “Independent
Samples T Test” to open the menu to conduct
the independent samples t-test.
32. • You will need to select your test variable and your grouping
variable. In this case, I will select H2EE8 as my test
variable and BIO_SEX2 as the grouping variable. BIO_SEX2 is
the variable for sex. Click the arrow next to “Test
Variables” to select H2EE8 as the test variable, and the arrow
next to “Grouping Variable” to define BIO_SEX2
as our grouping variable.
• From here, you will need to click “Define Groups…” to tell
SPSS which two categories we will use, to see if
there is a difference in our test variable.
• Make sure the bubble next to “Use specified values” is
selected. Next, you will need to type the number “1” in
the Group 1 box and “2” in the Group 2 box. What this means,
as it will mean in your project, is that Group 1
= male and Group 2 = female. So we will see if there is a
significant difference in adolescents’ allowances by
gender. Ta da! Click “Continue”.
• Notice that in the parenthetical note next to BIO_SEX2 it says
(1 2)? This means it will compare the differences
between these two groups. If you do not define the groups,
SPSS will not run the test. If you used a variable with
more than 2 categories, you would need to make sure you were
comparing the two groups you intended to
compare. Now click OK.

33. • The output window should display something similar to the
following:
• Let’s start off with the first box, labeled “Group Statistics.”
• Here we can see the mean, standard deviation, and standard
error of the mean for Male and Female. So we can
see that the mean allowance for males was 6.77, while for
females it was 7.67. Similarly, we can see the standard
deviations and standard errors of the mean, too. Just by looking
at the Group Statistics table, we can see that it
looks like females earn higher weekly allowances and their
standard deviations suggest more variability than for
males. This alone cannot tell us if there are significant
differences in allowance, between men and women.
• Next, look at the Independent Samples Test table. For the
purposes of this assignment, you need to look at the …
