DIRECTIONS
The first step of the EBP process is to develop a question from the nursing practice problem of interest.
Select a practice problem of interest to use as the focus of your research.
Start with the patient and identify the clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care.
Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT statement in your selected practice problem area of interest, which is applicable to your proposed capstone project.
The PICOT statement will provide a framework for your capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).
Conduct a literature search to locate research articles focused on your selected practice problem of interest. This literature search should include both quantitative and qualitative peer-reviewed research articles to support your practice problem.
Select six peer-reviewed research articles which will be utilized through the next 5 weeks as reference sources. Be sure that some of the articles use qualitative research and that some use quantitative research. Create a reference list in which the six articles are listed. Beneath each reference include the article's abstract. The completed assignment should have a title page and a reference list with abstracts.
Suggestions for locating qualitative and quantitative research articles from credible sources:
1. Use a library database such as CINAHL Complete for your search.
2. Using the advanced search page check the box beside "Research Article" in the "Limit Your Results" section.
3. When setting up the search you can type your topic in the top box, then add quantitative or qualitative as a search term in one of the lower boxes. Research articles often are described as qualitative or quantitative.
To narrow/broaden your search, remove the words qualitative and quantitative and include words that narrow or broaden your main topic. For example: Diabetes and pediatric and dialysis. To determine what research design was used, review the abstract and the methods section of the article. The author will provide a description of data collection using qualitative or quantitative methods.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Abstract:
This article discusses the main lessons learned from the management of the design of the 'Water Cube' National Swimming Aquatic Centre (a landmark building for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games), including forming an international partnership, managing cultural differences and risks, dealing with intellectual property and ownership of design to establish a legacy. The article also discusses design management strategies and innovations. It was found that Beijing's lack of regulatory transparency, regional differences and a relationship-based business culture were some of the factors that made China a challenging project environment. Cultural understanding and relationship (guanxi) building were fundamental strategies in responding to these challenges. It was also found that developing a shared ownership of intellectual property and innovative design ideas may facilitate the collaboration between Western and Chinese partners. In addition, it was necessary for the foreign design and project management teams to be continuously involved in the construction stage to ensure the conversion of design into reality, construction quality and personal fulfilment.

Rock Crystal Story by A. Stifter Albert Bier.docxdaniely50
Rock Crystal
Story by A. Stifter
Albert Bierstadt,
Strom Among the Alps.
Long, long ago — perhaps maybe some time in the seventeenth century somewhere in the Alps, two valleys with a village each - Gschaid and Millsdorf - lay next to each other, ringed by high mountains and linked by a sole, lonely path. Due to this separation, the inhabitants considered each other as strangers. Yet it came to pass that the shoemaker from Gschaid married the Millsdorf dyer's daughter, and the couple had two children, Conrad and Sanna.
One unusually warm Christmas Eve, the two children set out on the path from the northward valley, through pine forest and over the pass, to visit their grandmother in the valley to the south. Their mother had sent Conrad and Sanna to their grandparents in Millsdorf to give them Christmas greetings and presents. Conrad and little Sanna set out early, arrived in time for lunch, and were kissed and showered with gifts by their adoring grandmother. Yet she insisted that they start for home early. The temperature was dropping, and ice was forming on the puddles in the road. As Conrad and Sanna climbed the path back toward home, a significant snowfall began. It was a snowfall the villagers later called once in a century: "unprecedented, unwearying, and voracious." The children climbed and climbed, but their path never descended as it should; they never find their familiar landmark.
On the way home, they “fell into” heavy snowfall which became so dense that they could see only the very nearest trees. They looked for their usual signpost.
"Shall we see the post today?" asked the girl. "The snow will fall on it and the red color will be white."
"We shall be able to see it," replied the boy; "even if the snow falls upon it and makes it white all over we are bound to see it, because it is a thick post, and because it has the black iron cross on its top will surely stick out."
"Yes, Conrad."
Yet they did not see the signpost, and instead of going down into the valley, the children wound up wandering up into the bare rock and ice region. The big brother who made a little roof out of the shawl that his sister was wearing to keep the snow off her face; meanwhile, the sister, maintained her brother's courage simply by how much she trusted him. Meanwhile, it had been growing dark. At last they climbed into a stone cave to spend the night there. To shield themselves against the cold, they drink from the coffee their grandmother had packed for their parents. The exceedingly strong extract took effect at once and all the more powerfully as the children had never in their lives tasted coffee. Despite the dangers, Conrad, the elder of the siblings, was overwhelmed by the great canvas of nature before them. They saw a northern light wafting in the night sky, and the stars gleamed and shone and twinkled. Only an occasional shooting star traversed them.. At dawn, Konrad and Sanna set off to fi.

Rogers Communications Historical Background
One of the Largest and Most Diverse Canadian Companies
Ted Rogers, who died in 2008 was the visionary behind Rogers Communications Inc.. He was considered a communications industry pioneer and a titan in Canadian business.
Mr. Rogers, known for his relentless drive, built Rogers Communications into a Canadian leader in wireless telecommunications, cable television, broadcasting, and publishing. Rogers Communications Inc. owns Canada's largest wireless telecommunications company, the country's largest cable company, the Toronto Blue Jays and Rogers Centre (formerly the SkyDome), 52 radio stations, several television properties including five CityTV outlets, five OMNI multicultural stations, Rogers Sportsnet, the Shopping Channel and more than 70 consumer and trade magazines.
In naming him Man of the Year in 2000, Toronto Life magazine dubbed Ted Rogers "Mr. Toronto". In only a matter of months, Ted Rogers had stepped up to the plate and saved the city's beleaguered major league baseball team, the Toronto Blue Jays, and, along with wife Loretta, donated $25 million to the University of Toronto (the school's largest-ever personal donation) and $10 million to Ryerson University. In May 2007, he gave another $15 million to Ryerson.
"Education can remake a country, a city, can make it ... a different place in only one generation" Mr. Rogers told Toronto Life.
In the Beginning:
Mr. Rogers, Sr.
Any history of the Rogers group of companies today must begin with a salute to Edward S. Rogers, Sr. Every time a radio is turned on in Canada, the dream of Edward S Rogers, Sr. continues to be realized. He envisioned radio as an electric pipeline, reaching into people’s homes to entertain, inform and educate.
In 1925, Mr. Rogers, Sr. invented the world’s first alternating current (AC) radio tube, which enabled radios to be powered by ordinary household current. This was a dramatic breakthrough in technology and it became the key factor in popularizing radio reception. After this invention radios became far more commonplace.
In 1931, Mr. Rogers, Sr. was awarded an experimental TV licence. He was working on radar when on May 6, 1939 he died at the young age of 38. He left a widow, Velma, and a 5 year old son, Edward. His business interests were sold. However, his son Edward (Ted Rogers) was determined to carry on the important legacy.
From Father to Son:
Ted Rogers
Ted Rogers earned his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto in 1956. He was awarded an LL.B. in 1961 from Osgoode Hall Law School and was called to the bar of Ontario on April 13, 1962.
In business, Mr. Rogers has always emphasized customer service and pioneering engineering and has been involved at the start-up stage with a number of ventures in broadcasting, cable television and communications. Mr. Rogers specializes in identifying technologies that he can develop and popularize through technological innovation and marketing techni.

DIRECTIONS
The first step of the EBP process is to develop a question from the nursing practice problem of interest.
Select a practice problem of interest to use as the focus of your research.
Start with the patient and identify the clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care.
Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT statement in your selected practice problem area of interest, which is applicable to your proposed capstone project.
The PICOT statement will provide a framework for your capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).
Conduct a literature search to locate research articles focused on your selected practice problem of interest. This literature search should include both quantitative and qualitative peer-reviewed research articles to support your practice problem.
Select six peer-reviewed research articles which will be utilized through the next 5 weeks as reference sources. Be sure that some of the articles use qualitative research and that some use quantitative research. Create a reference list in which the six articles are listed. Beneath each reference include the article's abstract. The completed assignment should have a title page and a reference list with abstracts.
Suggestions for locating qualitative and quantitative research articles from credible sources:
1. Use a library database such as CINAHL Complete for your search.
2. Using the advanced search page check the box beside "Research Article" in the "Limit Your Results" section.
3. When setting up the search you can type your topic in the top box, then add quantitative or qualitative as a search term in one of the lower boxes. Research articles often are described as qualitative or quantitative.
To narrow/broaden your search, remove the words qualitative and quantitative and include words that narrow or broaden your main topic. For example: Diabetes and pediatric and dialysis. To determine what research design was used, review the abstract and the methods section of the article. The author will provide a description of data collection using qualitative or quantitative methods.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Abstract:
This article discusses the main lessons learned from the management of the design of the 'Water Cube' National Swimming Aquatic Centre (a landmark building for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games), including forming an international partnership, managing cultural differences and risks, dealing with intellectual property and ownership of design to establish a legacy. The article also discusses design management strategies and innovations. It was found that Beijing's lack of regulatory transparency, regional differences and a relationship-based business culture were some of the factors that made China a challenging project environment. Cultural understanding and relationship (guanxi) building were fundamental strategies in responding to these challenges. It was also found that developing a shared ownership of intellectual property and innovative design ideas may facilitate the collaboration between Western and Chinese partners. In addition, it was necessary for the foreign design and project management teams to be continuously involved in the construction stage to ensure the conversion of design into reality, construction quality and personal fulfilment.

Rock Crystal Story by A. Stifter Albert Bier.docxdaniely50
Rock Crystal
Story by A. Stifter
Albert Bierstadt,
Strom Among the Alps.
Long, long ago — perhaps maybe some time in the seventeenth century somewhere in the Alps, two valleys with a village each - Gschaid and Millsdorf - lay next to each other, ringed by high mountains and linked by a sole, lonely path. Due to this separation, the inhabitants considered each other as strangers. Yet it came to pass that the shoemaker from Gschaid married the Millsdorf dyer's daughter, and the couple had two children, Conrad and Sanna.
One unusually warm Christmas Eve, the two children set out on the path from the northward valley, through pine forest and over the pass, to visit their grandmother in the valley to the south. Their mother had sent Conrad and Sanna to their grandparents in Millsdorf to give them Christmas greetings and presents. Conrad and little Sanna set out early, arrived in time for lunch, and were kissed and showered with gifts by their adoring grandmother. Yet she insisted that they start for home early. The temperature was dropping, and ice was forming on the puddles in the road. As Conrad and Sanna climbed the path back toward home, a significant snowfall began. It was a snowfall the villagers later called once in a century: "unprecedented, unwearying, and voracious." The children climbed and climbed, but their path never descended as it should; they never find their familiar landmark.
On the way home, they “fell into” heavy snowfall which became so dense that they could see only the very nearest trees. They looked for their usual signpost.
"Shall we see the post today?" asked the girl. "The snow will fall on it and the red color will be white."
"We shall be able to see it," replied the boy; "even if the snow falls upon it and makes it white all over we are bound to see it, because it is a thick post, and because it has the black iron cross on its top will surely stick out."
"Yes, Conrad."
Yet they did not see the signpost, and instead of going down into the valley, the children wound up wandering up into the bare rock and ice region. The big brother who made a little roof out of the shawl that his sister was wearing to keep the snow off her face; meanwhile, the sister, maintained her brother's courage simply by how much she trusted him. Meanwhile, it had been growing dark. At last they climbed into a stone cave to spend the night there. To shield themselves against the cold, they drink from the coffee their grandmother had packed for their parents. The exceedingly strong extract took effect at once and all the more powerfully as the children had never in their lives tasted coffee. Despite the dangers, Conrad, the elder of the siblings, was overwhelmed by the great canvas of nature before them. They saw a northern light wafting in the night sky, and the stars gleamed and shone and twinkled. Only an occasional shooting star traversed them.. At dawn, Konrad and Sanna set off to fi.

Rogers Communications Historical Background
One of the Largest and Most Diverse Canadian Companies
Ted Rogers, who died in 2008 was the visionary behind Rogers Communications Inc.. He was considered a communications industry pioneer and a titan in Canadian business.
Mr. Rogers, known for his relentless drive, built Rogers Communications into a Canadian leader in wireless telecommunications, cable television, broadcasting, and publishing. Rogers Communications Inc. owns Canada's largest wireless telecommunications company, the country's largest cable company, the Toronto Blue Jays and Rogers Centre (formerly the SkyDome), 52 radio stations, several television properties including five CityTV outlets, five OMNI multicultural stations, Rogers Sportsnet, the Shopping Channel and more than 70 consumer and trade magazines.
In naming him Man of the Year in 2000, Toronto Life magazine dubbed Ted Rogers "Mr. Toronto". In only a matter of months, Ted Rogers had stepped up to the plate and saved the city's beleaguered major league baseball team, the Toronto Blue Jays, and, along with wife Loretta, donated $25 million to the University of Toronto (the school's largest-ever personal donation) and $10 million to Ryerson University. In May 2007, he gave another $15 million to Ryerson.
"Education can remake a country, a city, can make it ... a different place in only one generation" Mr. Rogers told Toronto Life.
In the Beginning:
Mr. Rogers, Sr.
Any history of the Rogers group of companies today must begin with a salute to Edward S. Rogers, Sr. Every time a radio is turned on in Canada, the dream of Edward S Rogers, Sr. continues to be realized. He envisioned radio as an electric pipeline, reaching into people’s homes to entertain, inform and educate.
In 1925, Mr. Rogers, Sr. invented the world’s first alternating current (AC) radio tube, which enabled radios to be powered by ordinary household current. This was a dramatic breakthrough in technology and it became the key factor in popularizing radio reception. After this invention radios became far more commonplace.
In 1931, Mr. Rogers, Sr. was awarded an experimental TV licence. He was working on radar when on May 6, 1939 he died at the young age of 38. He left a widow, Velma, and a 5 year old son, Edward. His business interests were sold. However, his son Edward (Ted Rogers) was determined to carry on the important legacy.
From Father to Son:
Ted Rogers
Ted Rogers earned his Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto in 1956. He was awarded an LL.B. in 1961 from Osgoode Hall Law School and was called to the bar of Ontario on April 13, 1962.
In business, Mr. Rogers has always emphasized customer service and pioneering engineering and has been involved at the start-up stage with a number of ventures in broadcasting, cable television and communications. Mr. Rogers specializes in identifying technologies that he can develop and popularize through technological innovation and marketing techni.

This document provides an overview of Emile Durkheim's sociological theories of crime and the subsequent Chicago School of sociology. It discusses Durkheim's view that modernization and the division of labor weaken social bonds and can lead to anomie, a breakdown in social norms that he believed caused social problems like crime. It then describes the Chicago School's application of ecological principles to study neighborhoods in Chicago and how researchers like Shaw and McKay found that areas experiencing social disorganization and instability had higher rates of delinquency.
RobertA multicultural city means a city whose members have a d.docxdaniely50
Robert
A multicultural city means a city whose members have a diverse cultural values and beliefs. When working in such a city, a nurse should be culturally competence in order to serve all the occupants of the city effectively. Miami for example is a multicultural city because its population involves people from different ethnic backgrounds like Latin American and Caribbean. The main benefit for practicing in such a city is that;
Multicultural city helps a nurse to learn more about different cultures and their beliefs and values concerning nursing and healthcare. This helps to expand the mind of the practitioner. For a nurse to give quality services to patients, he or she must be aware of the patient’s culture and background information. Though it may take a while before the nurse learns about the different cultures, it helps him or her become more experienced.
Challenges of practicing in a multicultural city
There are so many challenges of practicing in a multicultural city. Communication barrier is one of the challenges. When the practitioner and the patient cannot communicate efficiently, therefore the nurse will not be able to deliver effectively (Murcia & Lopez, 2016). Secondly, a nurse may experience culture shock in a multicultural city. This happens when nurses are confronted with very new cultural beliefs and values and then they try to compare with their own beliefs and everything looks so new. Thirdly, another challenge could be rejection by the city residents. When there is a new nurse with different cultural beliefs and values, chances are the residents might reject the nurse’s services and prefer to be served by only home nurses. This is because people feel comfortable receiving care from people who understand their cultural beliefs and values.

Robin went to work for Titans, Inc., a major banking house, as a sec.docxdaniely50
Robin went to work for Titans, Inc., a major banking house, as a security specialist. He had charge of designing and implementing all security protocols and equipment at Titan Towers for Titan’s physical security and security of their business transactions. Before starting work, Robin signed a written employment agreement. The agreement included a non-compete clause that stated as follows:
“18. NON-COMPETE - Employee agrees that for a period of two years following Employee’s term as an employee of Company, Employee shall not be employed as a security specialist for any other company in the financial service industry, anywhere in the world. Provided Employee shall comply with all terms of this provision, at the end of said two year term, Company shall pay to Employee a bonus payment of Ten Thousand (10,000) Dollars within 30 days of the end of the aforesaid two year period.
Robin worked for Titans, Inc. for a year and then left to return to his prior life as a circus acrobat. He toured the world with Hailey’s Circus for two years, doing no work at all in the financial services industry. At the end of two years from the date he left Titans, Inc., Robin returned to the US and opened his own security firm, aimed at the financial services industry. Robin also wrote to Titans, Inc. and informed them that he had lived up to his obligations under the non-compete clause in his agreement, and requested they send him the $10,000 bonus.
Titans writes back thanking Robin for abiding by his agreement.
Robin waits patiently, but after six months, his savings are running low and his new business could use an influx of cash. Robin sells his right to collect the $10,000 to Speedy, a friend from his Titans, Inc. days who has also left the company. Two weeks later, Speedy sends a letter to Titans, Inc., telling them that he has acquired the rights to the debt owed to Robin and demanding payment in ten (10) days.
A week after Robin sells the debt to Speedy, Titan’s Inc,’s accountants do an internal audit. They discover that many debts from former employees to the company, from participating in the company’s Home Down Payment Borrowing Program, had never been collected. Among these debts are $5,000 from Robin and also $5,000 from Speedy. When Titans, Inc. gets Speedy’s letter, they ignore it, believing they are now even with Robin and Speedy.
When he does not hear back from Titans, Inc., Speedy sues them for the $10,000 debt to Robin.
In the lawsuit between Speedy and Titan’s Inc., who should win and who should collect what?

rite an essay that considers the historical relationship between humans and machines based on Tim’s Vermeer and AlphaGo, and the texts by Alfred B. Lord, Lewis Mumford, and Michel Foucault, as well as the connected lecture content.
In these movies and texts, it is often stated or implied that humans becoming more like machines is something negative because it turns us into the opposite of what we (supposedly) are. Why are machines opposed to humans? Why and how do various media turn us into machines? What are the consequences of this transformation for how we act, behave and think? That is, what happens to notions of human agency, creativity, and artistic genius when we become more like machines that we use? Finally, and in your opinion, to what degree should we be concerned if humans are becoming more like machines or if machines become more like humans? Explain your reasoning.

“The American Dream, Quantified at Last”
By David Leonhardt
Dec. 8, 2016
The phrase “American dream” was invented during the Great Depression. It comes from a popular 1931 book by the historian James Truslow Adams, who defined it as “that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone.”
In the decades that followed, the dream became a reality. Thanks to rapid, widely shared economic growth, nearly all children grew up to achieve the most basic definition of a better life — earning more money and enjoying higher living standards than their parents had.
These days, people are arguably more worried about the American dream than at any point since the Depression. But there has been no real measure of it, despite all of the data available. No one has known how many Americans are more affluent than their parents were — and how the number has changed.
It’s a thorny research question, because it requires tracking individual families over time rather than (as most economic statistics do) taking one-time snapshots of the country.
The beginnings of a breakthrough came several years ago, when a team of economists led by Raj Chetty received access to millions of tax records that stretched over decades. The records were anonymous and came with stric.
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.

7. Chapter 6 – Selecting and Interpreting Statistics
Chapter Outline
I. General Design Classifications for Difference Questions
A. Labeling difference question designs.
1. State overall type of design (e.g. between groups, within
subjects).
2. State the number of independent variables.
3. State the number of levels within each independent variable.
B. Between groups designs: each participant in the research is
in only one
condition or group.
C. Within subjects or repeated measures designs
1. Within subjects designs.
a. Each participant in the research receives or experiences all
of the conditions or levels of the independent variable.
b. Also includes designs where participants are matched (e.g.
parent & child; husband & wife).
2. Repeated measures designs: each participant is assessed more
than once (e.g. pretest & posttest).
D. Single factor (one-way) design
1. Has only one independent variable.
2. Factor and way are other terms for group difference
independent
variables.
E. Between groups factorial design
8. 1. When there is more than one group difference independent
variable.
2. Each level of one factor (independent variable) is possible in
combination with each level of the other factor(s).
a. The number of levels of each factor is used in the
description of the design.
b. For example: a design that includes gender (2 levels) and
ethnicity (4 levels) would be labeled as a 2 x 3 between
groups factorial design.
F. Mixed factorial design: Has both a between groups
independent variable
and a within subjects independent variable.
G. Describing designs
1. Each independent variable is described using one number that
represents the number of levels for that variable.
2. Example: 3 x 4 between groups factorial design would have 2
independent variables, one with 3 levels and one with 4 levels.
II. Selection of Inferential Statistics
A. Types of research questions.
1. Difference questions: compare groups and utilize difference
inferential statistics. (Tables 6.1 & 6.3)
a. Basic (bivariate) statistics: one independent and one
dependent variable.
9. IBM SPSS for Introductory Statistics: Use and Interpretation,
5th Ed. (Morgan, Leech, Gloeckner & Barrett) Instructor's
Manual by
Gene W. Gloeckner and Don Quick
b. Complex statistics: three or more variables.
2. Associational questions: examine the association or
relationship
between two or more variables and utilize associational
inferential statistics (Tables 6.2 & 6.4).
B. Using Tables 6.1 and 6.4 to Select Inferential Statistics
1. Decide the number of variables.
a. 2 variables = Tables 6.1 or 6.2
b. 3 or more variables = Tables 6.3, 6.4 or 6.5
(Basic 2 variable Questions and Statistics)
2. If there are two variables and the independent variable is
nominal
or has 2-4 levels = Table 6.1.
a. Identify number of levels of IV.
b. Identify type of research design (between or within).
c. Determine the type of measurement for the DV.
3. If there are 2 variables and both are nominal use the bottom
rows
of Table 6.1 (difference question) or Table 6.2 (associational
question).
4. If there are 2 variables and both variables have 5 or more
ordered
levels use Table 6.2 (associational question).
10. (Complex Questions and Statistics-3 or more variables)
5. If there is one normal/scale DV and the IV’s (2 or more) are
nominal or have a few ordered levels use Table 6.3.
6. If there is one normal/scale DV and the IV’s/predictors (2 or
more) are normal/scale or dichotomous use the top row of Table
6.4 (complex associational question).
7. If there is one DV that is nominal or dichotomous and there
are 2
or more IV’s use the bottom row of Table 6.4 (or 6.3).
8. If there are 2 are more normal (scale) DV’s use the general
linear
model to do MANOVA.
III. The General Linear Model (GLM)
A. Difference between associational and difference questions.
1. Mathematically, the distinction between associational and
difference questions is artificial.
2. Both associational and difference inferential statistics serve
the
purpose of exploring and describing relationships (Fig. 6.2).
a. The GLM subsumes both associational and difference
inferential statistics.
b. The relationship between the IV and DV can be expressed
by an equation with weights for each of the
independent/predictor variables plus an error term.
IV. Interpreting the Results of a Statistical Test
11. A. Statistical Significance
1. The SPSS calculated value is compared to a critical value
found
in a statistics table.
2. Statistically significant: probability (p) is less than the preset
alpha (usually .05).
IBM SPSS for Introductory Statistics: Use and Interpretation,
5th Ed. (Morgan, Leech, Gloeckner & Barrett) Instructor's
Manual by
Gene W. Gloeckner and Don Quick
a. Sig.: SPSS label for the p value.
b. Usually, if the calculated value (t, F, etc.) is large, the
probability (p) is small.
c. This Sig. is also the probability of committing a Type I
error (rejecting the null hypothesis when it is actually true).
3. The p and the null hypothesis
a. p > .05: don’t reject the null hypothesis; results are not
statistically significant and could be due to chance.
b. p < .05: reject the null hypothesis; results are statistically
significant and are not likely due to chance.
B. Practical Significance versus Statistical Significance
1. Statistical significance does not necessarily insure that the
results
have practical significance or are important.
12. 2. Effect size and/or confidence intervals must be examined to
determine the strength of association.
a. It is possible, with a large sample, to have a statistically
significant result that is weak (small effect size).
b. Small effect size may indicate that the difference or
association is of little practical importance.
C. Confidence Intervals
1. An alternative to null hypothesis significance testing
(NHST).
2. May provide more practical information than NHST.
3. Confidence intervals allow us to determine the interval that
contains population mean difference 95% of the time.
D. Effect Size
1. The strength of the relationship between the independent
variable
and the dependent variable.
2. r family of effect size measures
a. Pearson correlation coefficient (r): values range from –1.0
to +1.0 (0 = no effect and +1/-1 =maximum effect).
b. Also includes other associational statistics such as rho, phi,
eta and the multiple correlation (R).
c. Can be reported as a squared or unsquared value.
i. Squared values (r2) indicate the percent of variance of
the DV that can be predicted from the IV, but give
small numbers that give an underestimated
impression of the strength or importance of the effect.
13. ii. Unsquared values (r) give a larger value and are
recommended for r family indices.
3. d family of effect size measures
a. Focuses on the magnitude of the difference rather than the
strength of the association.
b. Computed by subtracting the mean of the second group
from the mean of the first group and dividing by the pooled
standard deviation of both groups.
IBM SPSS for Introductory Statistics: Use and Interpretation,
5th Ed. (Morgan, Leech, Gloeckner & Barrett) Instructor's
Manual by
Gene W. Gloeckner and Don Quick
c. All d family effect sizes express effect sizes in standard
deviation units.
d. Values usually vary from 0 to +/- 1.0, but can be > 1.0.
4. Issues about effect size measures.
a. d is not available on SPSS outputs but can be calculated
from information provided on SPSS outputs.
b. r and R are available on SPSS outputs.
c. Most journals now expect authors to discuss the effect size
as well as statistical significance.
E. Interpreting Effect Sizes
1. Table 6.5 provides guidelines for the interpretation of effect
14. sizes
based upon the effect sizes usually found in the behavioral
sciences and education.
2. The absolute meaning of large, medium, and small are
relative to
findings in these disciplines. Suggest using the following terms
instead:
a. Minimal in place of small.
b. Typical in place of medium.
c. Substantial in place of large.
3. Cohen’s (1998) examples of effect size:
a. Small = “difficult to detect”.
b. Medium = “visible to the naked eye”.
c. Large = “grossly perceptible”.
4. Effect size is not the same as practical significance.
a. Effect size indicates the strength of the relationship and is
more relevant to practical significance than statistical
significance.
b. However, effect size measures are not direct indexes of the
importance of a finding.
V. An Example of How to Select and Interpret Inferential
Statistics
A. Steps in the process:
1. Identify the research problem.
2. Identify the variables and their level of measurement.
3. State the research question(s).
4. Identify the type of each research question.
5. Select an appropriate statistic.
15. 6. Interpret the results of the statistic.
a. Determine if the results were statistically significant.
b. If the results are statistically significant:
i. Determine the direction of the effect.
ii. Calculate and interpret the effect size.
iii. If necessary, calculate and interpret confidence
intervals to evaluate practical significance.

Chapter 2 – Data Coding, Entry, and Checking
Using the college student data.sav file, from
http://www.psypress.com/ibm-spss-intro-
stats/ (“Data Sets (ZIPS)” button) or the Moodle Web site for
this book, do the following
problems. Print your outputs and circle the key parts for
discussion.
1. Compute the N, minimum, maximum, and mean, for all the
variables in the college
student data file. How many students have complete data?
Identify any statistics on
the output that are not meaningful. Explain.
There are 47 students who have complete data. This value is
found by looking at
the value given for the Valid N (listwise).
The mean is not meaningful for nominal (unordered) variables.
In this example,
nominal variables include: gender of student, marital status, and
age group. The
mean for dichotomous variables coded as 0 and 1 can be
meaningful because the
means actually tell the percent of students that answered with a
“1” on their
survey. In this example, the following variables are
28. dichotomous: does subject
have children, television shows-sitcoms, television shows-
movies, television shows-
sports, television shows-news.
2. What is the mean height of the students? What about the
average height of the same
sex parent? What percentage of students are males? What
percentage have children?
Mean height of the students = 67.30 inches
Average height of same sex parent = 66.78 inches
Percentage of students that are male = 52.0%
Percentage of students with children = 52.0%

Chapter 3 – Measurement and Descriptive Statistics
32. Chapter Outline
I. Frequency Distributions
A. Definition: tally of the number of times each score on a
single variable
occurs.
B. Approximately normally distributed: there is a small number
of scores for
the low and high values and most of the scores occur in the
middle values
(distribution exhibits a “normal curve”).
C. Not normally distributed: distribution does not exhibit a
normal curve.
1. Negatively skewed: tail of the curve (extreme scores) is
elongated on the low end (left side).
2. Positively skewed: tail of the curve (extreme scores) is
elongated
on the high end (right side).
II. Levels of Measurement
A. Measurement: the assignment of numbers or symbols to
different
characteristics (values) of the variables.
B. Nominal Variables: numerals assigned to each category
stand for a name
of category.
1. Categories have no implied order or value.
2. Categories are distinct and non-overlapping.
33. 3. Other terms for nominal variables:
a. Categorical
b. Qualitative
c. Discrete
C. Dichotomous Variables: have only two levels or categories.
1. May or may not have an implied order
2. Other terms for dichotomous variables:
a. dummy variables
b. discrete variables
c. categorical variables
D. Ordinal Variables: mutually exclusive categories that are
ordered from
low to high, but the intervals between categories may not be
equal.
1. Also includes ordered variables with only a few categories
(2-4)
2. Distribution of the scores is not normally distributed.
3. Other terms for ordinal variables:
a. Ranks
b. Categorical
E. Approximately Normal (or Scale) Variables: levels or scores
are ordered
from low to high and the frequencies of the scores are
approximately
normally distributed.
1. May be continuous (have an infinite number of possible
values
within a range).
34. 2. If not continuous, should have at least five ordered values or
levels.
3. Other terms for approximately normal variables:
IBM SPSS for Introductory Statistics: Use and Interpretation,
5th Ed. (Morgan, Leech, Gloeckner & Barrett) Instructor's
Manual by
Gene W. Gloeckner and Don Quick
a. interval – have ordered categories that are equally spaced
b. ratio – have ordered categories that are equally spaced and
have a true zero
c. continuous
d. dimensional
e. quantitative
F. How to Distinguish Between the Types of Measurement
1. Nominal versus ordinal variables:
a. Only two levels = treat as nominal in SPSS
b. Three or more categories and not ordered = nominal
c. Three or more categories and ordered = ordinal
2. Ordinal versus normal (scale) variables:
a. Five or more ordered levels with equal intervals and
approximately normal distribution = normal
b. Three or more ordered levels with unequal intervals and not
normally distributed = ordinal
35. III. Descriptive Statistics
A. Frequency Tables: tabulates the number of occurrences of
each level of a
variable as well as the number of missing values; also calculates
the valid
percent and cumulative percent for each level.
1. Nominal data: order of categories in table is arbitrary;
cumulative
percent column is not useful
2. Ordinal or approximately normal data: order of categories in
tables is shown from low to high; cumulative percent column is
useful.
B. Bar Charts: creates discrete (not connected) columns to
illustrate the
frequency distribution; appropriate for nominal data.
C. Histograms: similar to a bar chart, but there are no spaces
between the bars
which indicates a continuous variable underlying the scores.
D. Frequency Polygons: connects points between the categories;
best used
with approximately normal data (but can be used with ordinal
data).
E. Box and Whiskers Plot: useful for ordinal and normal data;
gives a
graphical representation of the distribution of scores.
1. Box: middle 50% of cases (those between the 25th and 75th
percentiles)
36. 2. Whiskers: represent the expected range of scores.
3. Outliers: scores that fall outside the box and whiskers.
F. Measures of Central Tendency
1. Mean: the arithmetic average; statistic of choice for normally
distributed data.
2. Median: the middle score; appropriate measure for ordinal
data
or data that is skewed.
3. Mode: the most common category; can be used with any type
of
data, but is the least precise information about central tendency.
G. Measures of Variability: tells about the spread or dispersion
of scores.
IBM SPSS for Introductory Statistics: Use and Interpretation,
5th Ed. (Morgan, Leech, Gloeckner & Barrett) Instructor's
Manual by
Gene W. Gloeckner and Don Quick
1. Range: highest score minus the lowest score; does not give an
indication of spread of scores for ordered data.
2. Standard Deviation: most common measure of variability;
based
upon the deviation of each score from the mean of all scores;
most appropriate for normally distributed data.
3. Interquartile Range: the distance between the 25th and 75th
percentiles (as shown in the box plot); appropriate for ordinal
37. data.
4. Nominal Data: variability measures are not appropriate;
rather
look at the number of categories and the frequency counts.
H. Conclusions About Measurement and the Use of Statistics
1. Normal data: utilize means and standard deviations for
parametric statistics.
2. Ordinal data: utilize median and nonparametric tests.
3. Nominal data: utilize mode or count.
IV. The Normal Curve
A. Properties of the Normal Curve: the normal curve is
theoretically formed
by counting an “infinite” number of occurrences of a variable.
1. Unimodal – the distribution has one hump which is in the
middle
of the distribution.
2. The mean, median and mode are equal.
3. The curve is symmetric (not skewed).
4. The range is infinite (the extremes never touch the X axis).
5. The curve is not too peaked or too flat and is neither too
short
nor too long (does not exhibit kurtosis).
B. Non-Normally Shaped Distributions
1. Skewness: one tail of the frequency distribution is longer
than
the other.
2. Mean and median are different.
38. C. Kurtosis
1. Refers to the shape of the curve.
2. Leptokurtic (positive kurtosis): frequency distribution is
more
peaked than normal.
3. Platykurtic (negative kurtosis): frequency distribution is
flatter
than normal.
D. Area Under the Normal Curve (Figure 3.10)
1. The normal curve is a probability distribution whose area is
equal to 1.0 and portions of the curve are fractions of 1.0.
2. Areas of the curves can be divided in terms of standard
deviations.
a. 34% of area under the normal curve is between the mean
and 1 standard deviation above or below the mean (thus,
68% of the area under the normal curve is within 1 standard
deviation to the left and right of the mean).
b. 13.5% of the area under the normal curve is accounted for
by adding a second standard deviation to the first (thus,
IBM SPSS for Introductory Statistics: Use and Interpretation,
5th Ed. (Morgan, Leech, Gloeckner & Barrett) Instructor's
Manual by
Gene W. Gloeckner and Don Quick
95% of the area under the normal is within 2 standard
39. deviations to the left and right of the mean).
c. 5% of the area under the normal curve falls beyond 2
standard deviations to the left and right of the mean (thus,
this is why values not falling within 2 standard deviations
of the mean are seen as relatively rare events).
E. The Standard Normal Curve
1. A normal curve converted so the mean is equal to 0 and the
standard deviation is equal to 1.
2. This conversion allows comparison of normal curves with
different means and standard deviations.
3. z scores = units of the standard normal distribution
a. standard scores = term for raw scores that are converted to
the standard normal curve.

Chapter 3 – Measurement and Description Statistics
Use the hsbdata.sav file from http://www.psypress.com/ibm-
spss-intro-stats/ (“Data Sets
(ZIPS)” button) to do these problems with one or more of these
variables: math
40. achievement, mother’s education, ethnicity, and gender. Use
Tables 3.2, 3.3, and the
instructions in the text to produce the appropriate plots or
descriptive statistics. Be sure
that the plots and/or descriptive statistics make sense (i.e. that
they are a “good choice” or
“OK”) for the variable.
3.1 Create bar charts. Discuss why you did or didn’t create
each.
• Select Analyze => Descriptive Statistics => Frequencies.
• Move math achievement, mother’s education, ethnicity, and
gender into the
Variables box.
• Select Charts => Bar Charts => Continue => OK.
Bar charts can be used with any of the four levels of
measurements, but it is better to use
frequency polygons or histograms if you have normally
distributed data. Each of these
types of plots displays the frequency or number of subjects on
the Y or vertical axis and
shows the levels or values of the variables on the X axis of the
plot. In histograms and
frequency polygons the bars or points are connected implying
that the levels of the
variable are ordered from low to high. In a bar chart the bars are
separated implying that
there might not be an order to the levels or categories of the
variable.
3.3 Create Frequency polygons. Discuss why you did or didn’t
41. create each. Compare
the plots in 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3.
• Select Graphs => Line. Click Simple and Summaries for
groups of cases
• Click Define.
• Move math achievement into the Category Axis box. => OK.
• Repeat the steps above, except this time instead of moving
math achievement, move
mother’s education in the Category Axis box. => OK.
Frequency polygons and histograms are similar. They are
designed for normally distributed data
but are okay to use with ordinal variables. A frequency polygon
connects the midpoints of the top
of each bar in a histogram. In other words, you can make a
frequency polygon from a histogram
by taking a straight edge and connecting the middle of each of
the bars.
3.5 Compute the mean, median, and mode. Discuss which
measures of central
tendency are meaningful for each of the four variables.
• Select Analyze => Descriptive Statistics => Frequencies.
• Move the four variables into the Variables box.
• Statistics => Mean, Median, Mode => Continue => OK.
Although the mean, median, and mode are okay to use with
ordinal or normal data, the
42. mean is the most appropriate with normal data and the median is
best with ordinal data.

IBM SPSS for Introductory Statistics: Use and Interpretation,
5th Ed. (Morgan, Leech, Gloeckner & Barrett) Instructor's
Manual by
Gene W. Gloeckner and Don Quick
Neither the mean nor the median are not meaningful with
nominal data. If you ask SPSS
to compute a mean or median for ethnicity, it will do so, but
because the ethnic categories
are not in any order, the result would not be interpretable. The
mode would tell you
which ethnic group was the largest. Similarly, the mode (and
median) tell you which
level of a dichotomous variable is most frequent. The mean of a
dichotomous variable
(e.g., gender) is the percent of participants who have the higher
value (i.e., female, in this
case).

Assumptions
Chapter Outline
I. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
A. What is EDA?
1. The first step to complete after entering data and before
running
any inferential statistics.
2. Computing various descriptive statistics and graphs in order
58. to
examine your data.
a. Look for data errors, outliers, non-normal distributions, etc.
b. Determine if the data meets the assumptions of the statistics
you plan to use.
c. Gather basic demographic information about the subjects.
d. Examine relationships between the variables to determine
how to conduct the hypothesis testing.
B. How to do EDA
1. Generate plots of the data
2. Generate numbers from the data.
C. Check for Errors
1. Examine raw data before entering.
2. Compare some raw data against entered data.
3. Compare maximum and minimum values against the
allowable
ranges.
4. Examine the means and standard deviations to see if they
seem
reasonable.
5. Look to see if there is an unreasonable amount of missing
data.
6. Look for outliers.
D. Statistical Assumptions: explain when it is and isn’t
reasonable to perform
a specific statistical test.
1. Parametric tests
59. a. Usually have more assumptions than nonparametric tests.
b. Generally designed for use with data that exhibits
approximately normal distribution
c. S.some parametric tests are more robust in dealing with
violations of assumptions than others.

Chapter 4 – Understanding Your Data and Checking
Assumptions
Using the College Student data file, do the following problems.
Print your outputs and
circle the key parts of the output that you discuss.
4.1 For the variables with five or more ordered levels, compute
the skewness.
60. Describe the results. Which variables in the data set are
approximately normally
distributed/scale? Which ones are ordered but not normal?
• Select Analyze => Descriptive Statistics => Descriptives.
• Move student height, same sex parent’s height, amount of tv
watched per week,
hours of study per week, student’s current gpa, positive
evaluation-institution,
positive evaluation-major, positive evaluation-facilites, positive
evaluation-social
life, hours per week spent working in the Variables box.
• Options => Check Skewness (in addition to Mean, Std.
Deviation, Minimum,
and Maximum) => Continue => OK.
The Valid N (listwise) for the variables selected is 48. The
Means all seem reasonable
and within the expected range. The Minimum and Maximum
values are all with the
expected range, based on the codebook. The N for each
variable makes sense and only
two variables are missing values (positive evaluation-major and
hours per week spent
working).
The Skewness Statistic is utilized to determine which of these
variables are
approximately normally distributed. The guideline is that if the
Skewness Statistic is
61. between -1 and 1, the variable is at least approximately normal.
In this case, all the
variables with five or more ordered levels fall into that range
and would be considered
approximately normally distributed. For this dataset, the
ordinal variables with five or
more ordered levels (positive evaluation-institution, positive
evaluation-major, positive
evaluation-facilities, positive evaluation-social life) are all
approximately normally
distributed and we can assume they are more like scale
variables and we can use
inferential statistics that have the assumption of normality with
them. None of the
variables examined for this problem were not normal.
4.3 Which variables are nominal? Run frequencies for the
nominal variables and
other variables with fewer than five levels. Comment on the
results.
• Select Analyze => Descriptive Statistics => Frequencies.
• Move gender of student, marital status, age group, does
subject have children,
television shows-sitcoms, television shows-movies, television
shows-sports,
television shows-news shows
The table titled Statistics provides the number of participants
for whom we have Valid
data and the number of Missing data. No other statistics were
requested because almost
62. all of them are not appropriate to use with nominal and
dichotomous data. Age group has
three ordered levels so it is ordinal and the median would be
appropriate.
IBM SPSS for Introductory Statistics: Use and Interpretation,
5th Ed. (Morgan, Leech, Gloeckner & Barrett) Instructor's
Manual by
Gene W. Gloeckner and Don Quick
The other tables are labeled Frequency Table and there is one
for each of the variables
selected. The left-hand column shows the Valid categories (or
levels or values), Missing
values, and Total number of participants. The Frequency column
gives the number of
participants who had each value. The Percent column is the
percent who had each value,
including missing values. For example, in the marital status
table, 40.0% of ALL
participants were single, 36.0% were married, 22.0% were
divorced, and 2.0% were
missing. The Valid Percent shows the percent of those with
nonmissing data at each
value; e.g. 40.8% of the 49 students with valid data were single.
Finally, Cumulative
Percent is the percent of the subjects in a category plus the
categories listed above it.

You should check the new variable to make sure you typed the
formula correctly. You
can visually compute a few by examining these four variables in
the Data View, and/or
running Descriptives on the new variable, aveEval, to check if
the results seem
reasonable. Valid N (listwise) = 49; Minimum = 1.75; Maximum
= 4.25; Mean =
3.1224.
5.3 Count the number of types of TV shows that each student
watches.
• Select Transform => Count
• Move tv sitcom, tvmovies, tvsports, and tvnews into the
Numeric Variables box.
• Name the Target Variable TVShows and label it Number of

watched.
74. • Click Define Values => type “1” => Add => Continue => OK.
Each of the four types of TV shows are coded 1 for yes , watch
them, or 0 for nom don’t
watch, so the above commands count the number of different
types of shows watched,
from 0 (none of them) to 4 (all four). The COUNT can be
evaluated visually by
inspecting the Data View and/or by funning rfrequencies on the
new variable. The mean
number of types of TV shows watched is 1.98 and the mode is
2.00.14 students watch 1

Appendix A.docAppendix A
Data Collection
This Appendix and Appendix B are designed to provide
introductory background information on developing a
questionnaire, collecting data with it, and getting the data ready
to enter and analyze. This chapter also explains the importance
of understanding your data, how to develop a questionnaire, and
how to set up data coding sheets.
There is a class assignment in this Appendix that will provide
an opportunity for your class to develop a short questionnaire,
collect data using it, and get the data ready for entry into SPSS.
If the class develops a set of questions, each person in the class
should answer them. There will be five standard questions and
76. then an opportunity for the class to add additional questions.
However, if you are using this text as an individual learning
tool or your professor wants to skip the topic of questionnaire
development, there is a set of data on the CD ROM (and
Appendix B) for you to enter into the SPSS data editor (and on
the disk).
Knowing Your Data
It is important for you to have a clear understanding of the data
in your data set. For example, in the class exercise one of the
variables will be height. You could look around the room and
intuitively know the data for that variable. You could line your
class up by height to see the distribution and you could make
fairly close approximations of statistics such as the average
(mean), middle person (median), and tallest minus shortest
(range). A few additional very tall people would skew the data
positively. Conversely, several extra short people would skew
the data negatively.
Students do not always have a clear understanding of the data
they analyze. In your research you may receive a data set from
a colleague, agency, or faculty member, where you do not really
know the underlying meaning of the variables. For example, in
chapter 6 you will receive a set of scores from the High School
and Beyond (HSB) data, which includes a variable labeled
visualization score. You will be told that it is a test of a
person's ability to determine how a three-dimensional object
would look if its spatial position were changed. But do you
really know what that means? Hopefully, when abstract
variables (such as visualization score, self-concept, or intrinsic
motivation) are used in a research report, how they were
measured (operationally defined) will be described completely
enough for you to grasp the meaning.
In this lab assignment (Appendix C), we will use data generated
by your class (or the similar data provided) so you will have a
77. sound understanding of the meaning of each variable. This kind
of understanding should help you learn SPSS and the statistical
tests that we will demonstrate better than data sets which may
not have as much meaning to you. You will also gain
experience entering data and labeling variables.
Developing a Questionnaire
This appendix uses a questionnaire as a data collection device
due to its relative simplicity. However, even a questionnaire
poses issues for a researcher. Appendix B presents several
topics related to questionnaire development and provides some
guidance about writing good items. Appendix B also has a
sample of the resulting questionnaire and a mock data set which
you can use if your class does not do the exercise suggested in
this appendix. If you will be developing a questionnaire in
class and are not already knowledgeable about doing that, we
suggest that you read Appendix B now.
Survey Questions Common to All Classes
In order to have a few variables to illustrate in the next chapter,
we suggest that your class use the following five common
variables: student’s height, same sex parent’s height, gender,
marital status, and age. The questions and suggested response
choices are as follows:
· What is your height in inches? ________
· What is the estimated height of your same sex parent?
________
· Gender (circle one number)
1.
Male
2.
Female
78. · What is your marital status? (circle one number)
1.
Single, never married
2.
Married
3.
Divorced, separated, or widowed?
· What age group are you in? (circle one number)
1. Less than 22
2. 22-29
3. 30 or moreClass Exercise
As a class, develop a short questionnaire that uses the five
questions above and asks other questions about your peers that
are of interest to you. With guidance from your instructor, add
approximately five questions to the five questions specified
above. Try to include a variety of questions. Some examples of
other questions the authors’ classes have used include:
How many hours a week do you watch TV? __________
What type of television shows do you watch? (Check all that
apply)
Sitcoms
79. Movies
Sports
News
I feel that the current program I am enrolled in is meeting my
needs. (circle one)
1. Strongly disagree
2. Disagree
3. Neutral
4. Agree
5. Strongly agree
How many hours a week do you study? __________
Do you have children? ________Yes ________No
See Appendix B for a sample questionnaire.
Students often like to ask questions on surveys that require
respondents to answer with a phrase or a word. For example:
What is your favorite car? Or what state were you born in?
These questions are usually answered by spelling out your
response, such as Chevrolet or Ford. This type of response is
called alphanumeric. Although written answers can be very
useful in survey research, for this exercise, we recommend that
you do not use questions that require alphanumeric responses
because of the difficulty of coding and classifying these types
of responses.
80. Once your class develops a questionnaire of approximately 10
questions (the five above plus the five your class generates),
either a student or the instructor should make the questions
available to the class. The instructor can write the questions on
a flip chart, the board, or duplicate them. Each student should
have an answer sheet numbered 1 through 10, or have some
other method to record their responses.
After the class completes the questionnaire, there will be an
answer sheet for each student. The instructor may provide each
student with a set of raw data about the class. That is, each
student may receive data for every person in the class. If you
have a class of 20, you would begin this phase of the
assignment with 20 sets of answers for approximately 10
questions.
Next, you will prepare to enter the data on these answer sheets
into SPSS. This can be done in several ways.
Number each of your questionnaires. This will prevent
confusion if you drop or mix up the stack of questionnaires.
SPSS automatically labels cases from 1 through the last case or
subject. Therefore, it is a good idea for you to number the
questionnaires beginning with one, rather than using letters or
an alternative identification system. This process will also keep
the respondents' answers anonymous and thus protect against
violating the privacy of the human subjects in your research.
It is common for researchers to transfer the data from the
questionnaires to a coding sheet by hand before entering the
data into Excel, Word, or SPSS. This is helpful if there is not a
separately numbered answer sheet, if the responses are to be
entered in a different order than on the questionnaire, or
additional coding or recoding is required before data entry. In
these cases, you could make mistakes entering the data directly
from the questionnaires. On the other hand, you could make
81. copying mistakes or take more time transferring the data from
the questionnaires or answer sheets to the coding sheet. Thus,
there are advantages and disadvantages of using a coding sheet
as an intermediate step between the questionnaire and the SPSS
data editor. The data set for your class will be small and
straightforward enough that you will be able to keep track of the
data fairly easily going directly from your questionnaire into
the SPSS editor as explained in Appendix C.
Appendix C gives you a step by step approach of how to do this
for the first five variables. You then can use that knowledge to
add the additional five variables developed by your class. If you
did not collect data as a class project, use the data set provided
in Appendix C.
Interpretation Questions
1. In the first SPSS run of the class data, you noticed that the
average student height was 78 inches. What does this tell you
about your coding of the data?
2. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of developing and
using a coding sheet.
3. Why should you number your questionnaires?

Appendix B.docAPPENDIX B
Developing a Questionnaire and a Data Set
Questionnaires are commonly used in research to collect data
that provide information about knowledge, perceptions, and
attitudes. The information collected reflects the subject’s
attitudes, knowledge, and so on at the time that the
82. questionnaire is completed, but may include recollections of the
past or predictions of future behavior. This appendix provides a
brief overview about developing a questionnaire. A more
complete discussion is provided by Salant and Dillman (1994)
and Dillman and Smyth (2007).
Deciding What Information You Want
Before writing any questions for a questionnaire, it is important
to think through how you will analyze the data. For example,
you might want to know what cars are the most popular among
your peers. An open-ended question to answer this would be:
“What is your favorite vehicle?” Your classmates may simply
write the name of their favorite vehicle. The following might
be responses to this question:
Volkswagen
Ford
Truck
Corvette
Yacht
Ski lift
Convertible
The use of the word "vehicle" allows responses like “ski lift”
and “yacht”. Thus, the way in which a researcher words a
question can greatly impact the type of answers respondents
provide.
Wording questions in a vague manner can cause other problems.
As a researcher you have to decide how to input the data into
83. SPSS. The vagueness of this “vehicle” example leaves the
researcher with many different responses, some of which are not
appropriate or the type of response that the question was
intended to generate. It can be helpful to have peers read your
questionnaire before proceeding. Many unclear questions or
problems with wording can be found and changed before you
end up with meaningless data.
Methods of Administration
After creating your questionnaire, the next step is to decide how
to give or administer it to the subjects. Questionnaires can be
administered using several different methods. The researcher
could collect information via the telephone, mail, e-mail,
individual face-to-
face, or group administration. The face-to-face method usually
is used when obtaining in-depth information requires more time
or explanation than is possible using mail or telephone. The
group method can be used in situations such as a club meeting
or a college classroom where a researcher or a surrogate
administers and collects the questionnaires from the group.
If your class is being taught via distance education the class
questionnaire data will most likely be collected via e-mail or
mail. If your class is being offered in the traditional classroom
format, then the data will most likely be collected via the group
method.
Sampling Techniques
There are a variety of sampling techniques that can be used.
There are two broad kinds of sampling: probability, and non-
probability. This appendix does not allow for a full explanation
of these methods. You can find more information about
sampling in a research methods book such as Gliner and Morgan
(2000).
84. A probability sample is defined as a selection of participants
where every person in a population has a known, nonzero
chance of being chosen. There are four probability sampling
techniques: simple random, systematic with a random start,
cluster, and stratified. These techniques are the most powerful
in that the data collected from samples using these methods are
more likely to be generalizable to larger populations.
A nonprobability sample is defined as a sampling technique
where there is not an equal chance for a participant to be
chosen. Thus, bias is usually introduced into the study. There
are several types of non-probability sampling techniques: quota,
convenience, and purposive are three. Unfortunately, most
student research, including the class questionnaire suggested in
chapter 4, use nonprobability sampling. With nonprobability
sampling, making generalizations beyond the group of study
may be problematic.
Writing Good Questions
In this section, we will describe briefly some of the main types
of questionnaire (or survey) items and questions.
Likert scales. One of the most common types of items used to
collect quantitative data is the Likert scale, which is sometimes
referred to as an “ordered response scale”. Most likely you
have used Likert scales many times. An example of a Likert
scale, which might have been used for the class questionnaire
is:
· Research Methods is my favorite subject. Circle the response
which most represents your feelings:
Strongly Agree
Agree
Undecided
Disagree
85. Strongly Disagree
When using a Likert scale the researcher has some choices. The
first choice is whether the Likert scale should include a middle
choice like undecided or should the question be written in a
manner that forces the respondent to either agree or disagree.
Another decision that needs to be made is whether to provide a
numerical scale under the wording. For example, the question
as stated above could be used with a numerical scale added.
Strongly Agree
Agree
Undecided
Disagree
Strongly Disagree
5

1
Researchers disagree about whether this type of numerical
addition is desirable. Sometimes researchers add the numerical
scale when they input the data but do not show this numbering
on the questionnaire. In standardized questionnaires it is
common to have a number of Likert type items and often the
words are at the top of the column and only the numbers are
opposite each item.
Semantic Differential scales. Another way to collect
quantitative data is with a semantic differential scale, which
86. uses bipolar adjectives (adjectives that are opposite of one
another). These adjectives can be Activity pairs, Evaluative
pairs or Potency pairs. An example of an Activity pair would
be “active – passive,” or “fast – slow.” Evaluative pairs include
words such as “good – bad,” or “dirty – clean.” Examples of
Potency pairs include comparisons such as “large – small” or
“hot – cold.” The evaluative type is used most often in
quantitative research.
An example of part of a semantic differential scale, which might
be used for your class questionnaire is:
· The research course I am currently taking is: (circle the
number that best reflects your view)
Bad
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
Good
Large
1

3
4
5
87. 6
7
Small
Worthless
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
Valuable
When creating a semantic differential scale, it is best to switch
some of the positive choices from the right side to the left side.
Notice in the above example, the right side includes positive
words, such as “good” and “valuable.” The left side includes
words that are thought of as being more negative, such as “bad”
and “worthless.” The middle pair is switched, with the more
negative word, “small,” on the right and the more positive word,
“large,” on the left. Switching the words will help ensure that
the subject reads the words, and does not just circle “7” for each
answer.
Checklists. Another type of data collection for surveys is a
checklist. Checklists are words that are listed so the subject can
mark the ones that apply. Usually subjects are asked to mark all
that apply, thus there can be multiple words selected. An
example of a checklist is:
· What type of television shows do you watch? Please check all
that apply.
· Sitcoms
88. · Movies
· Sports
· News
Rankings. Rankings are another type of survey question. With
ranking questions subjects are asked to rank or place in order a
number of choices. Ranked items are relatively easy to make
and for participants to answer as long as they are asked to rank
only a few (for example three or four) items. However, ranking
items are not so easy to handle statistically. Two problems that
may occur are 1) the respondents may not rank all the items and
2) they produce ordinal data which eliminates the use of
parametric statistics (such as t test and correlation). An
example of a ranking scale is:
· Rank the following types of television shows in terms of how
much you would like to watch them (1 = most preferred, 4 =
least preferred). Please use each number only once and use all
four numbers.
Sitcoms
______
Movies
______
Sports
______
News
89. ______
Open-ended. The last type of survey question discussed in this
appendix is the open-ended question. Unlike the other types of
survey questions discussed earlier, open-ended questions do not
provide choices for the subject to select. Each question is
worded so that the subject must generate an answer. An
example of an open-ended question would be:
· Do you have additional comments?
“How many hours a week do you watch television?” and “What
is your height in inches,” are also technically open–ended
questions, but they require only a single number for an answer.
There are also partially open-ended questions, which list several
possible response choices to pick from but also include an open-
ended choice such as:
· Other, please specify
___________________________________
Open-ended questions can be difficult to code. Also,
respondents may find open-ended questions to be more difficult
than other types of questions, because they require more
thinking, so they may skip them. There are also advantages to
using open-ended questions. On the positive side, open-ended
questions give subjects the opportunity to write whatever they
want, giving them more freedom to answer how they really feel
about a topic. Also, open-ended questions can give the
researcher more in-depth insight into how the subjects actually
feel in a more in-depth manner.

MAKING TABLES AND FIGURES
211APPENDIX C
Making Tables and Figures
Don Quick
Colorado State University
Tables and figures are used in most fields of study to provide a
visual presentation of important information to the reader. They
are used to organize the statistical results of a study, to list
important tabulated information, and to allow the reader a
visual method of comparing related items. Tables offer a way to
detail information that would be difficult to describe in the text.
A figure is a graphic or pictorial representation, such as a chart,
graph, photograph, or line drawing. These figures may include
pie charts, line charts, bar charts, organizational charts, flow
charts, diagrams, blueprints, or maps. Limit figures to situations
in which a visual helps the reader understand the methodology
or results. Use a table to provide specific numbers and summary
text, and use figures for visual presentations.
The meaning and major focus of the table or figure should be
evident to the readers without their having to make a thorough
129. study of it. A glance should be all it takes for the idea of what
the table or figure represents to be conveyed to the reader. By
reading only the text itself, the reader may have difficulty
understanding the data; by constructing tables and figures that
are well presented, readers will be able to understand the study
results more easily.
The purpose of this appendix is to provide guidelines that will
enhance the presentation of research findings and other
information by using tables and figures. It will highlight the
important aspects of constructing tables and figures using the
Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association,
Sixth Edition (2010)as the guide for formatting.
General Considerations Concerning Tables
Be selective as to how many tables are included in the total
document. Determine how much data the reader needs to
comprehend the material, and then decide if the information
would be better presented in the text or as a table. A table
containing only a few numbers is unnecessary, whereas a table
containing too much information may not be understandable.
Tables should be easy to read and interpret. If at all possible,
combine tables that repeat data, so that results are presented
only once.
Keep a consistency to all of your tables throughout your
document. All tables and figures in your document should use a
similar format, with the results organized in a comparable
fashion. Use the same name and scale in all tables, figures, and
the text that use the same variable.
In a final manuscript such as a thesis or dissertation, adjust the
column headings or spacing between columns so the width of
the table fits appropriately between the margins. Fit all of one
table on one page. Reduce the data, change the type size, or
decrease line spacing to make it fit. A short table may be on a
130. page with text as long as it follows the first mention of it. Each
long table is on a separate page immediately after it is
mentioned in the text. If the fit and appearance would be
improved, turn the table sideways (landscape orientation, with
the top of table toward the spine) on the page.
Each table and figure must be discussed in the text. An
informative table will supplement but will not duplicate the
text. In the text, discuss only the most important parts of the
table. Make sure the table can be understood by itself without
the accompanying text; however, it is never independent of the
text. There must be a reference in the text to the table.
Construction of the Table
Table C.1 is an example of an APA table for displaying simple
descriptive data collected in a study. It also appears in correct
relation to the text of the document; that is, it is inserted below
the place that the table is first mentioned either on the same
page, if it will fit, or the next page. (Fig. C.1 shows the same
table with the table parts identified.) The major parts of a table
are the number, the title, the headings, the body, and the notes.

a No participants were found for the over 80 group.
Table Numbering
Arabic numerals are used to number tables in the order in which
they appear in the text. Do NOT write in the text “the table on
page 17” or “the table above or below.” The correct method
would be to refer to the table number like this: (see Table 1) or
“Table 1 shows…” Left-justify the table number (see Table
C.1). In an article, each table should be numbered sequentially
in the order of appearance. Do not use suffix letters or numbers
with the table numbers in articles. However, in a book, tables
may be numbered within chapters; for example, Table 7.1. If the
table appears in an appendix, identify it with the letter of the
appendix capitalized, followed by the table number; for
instance, Table C.3 is the third table in Appendix C.Table Titles
Include the variables, the groups on whom the data were
collected, the subgroups, and the nature of the statistic reported.
The table title and headings should concisely describe what is
contained in the table. Abbreviations that appear in the body of
the table can sometimes be explained in the title; however, it
may be more appropriate to use a general note (see also
comments on Table Headings). The title must be italicized.
Standard APA format for journal submission requires double
spacing throughout. However, tables in student papers may be
partially single spaced for better presentation.

Table Headings
Headings are used to explain the organization of the table. You
may use abbreviations in the headings; however, include a note
as to their meaning if you use mnemonics, variable names, and
scale acronyms. Standard abbreviations and symbols for
nontechnical terms can be used without explanation (e.g., no.
for number or % for percent). Have precise title, column
headings, and row labels that are accurate and brief. Each
column must have a heading, including thestub column, or
leftmost column. Its heading is referred to as the stubhead. The
stub column usually lists the significant independent variables
or the levels of the variable, as in Table C.1.
The column heads cover one column, and the column spanners
cover two or more columns—each with its own column head
(see Table C.1 and Fig. C.1). Headings stacked in this manner
are called decked heads. This is a good way to eliminate
repetition in column headings but try to avoid using more than
two levels of decked heads. Column heads, column spanners,
and stubheads should all be singular, unless referring to a group
135. (e.g., children). Table spanners, which cover the entire table,
may be plural. Use sentence capitalization in all headings.
Notice that there are no vertical lines in an APA style table. The
horizontal lines can be added by using a “draw” feature or a
“borders” feature for tables in the computer word processor, or
they could be drawn in by hand if typed. If translating from an
SPSS table or box, the vertical lines must be removed.
The Body of the Table
The body contains the actual data being displayed. Round
numbers improve the readability and clarity more than precise
numbers with several decimal places. A good guideline is to
report two digits more than the raw data. A reader can compare
numbers down a column more easily than across a row. Column
and row averages can provide a visual focus that allows the
reader to inspect the data easily without cluttering the table. If a
cell cannot be filled because the information is not applicable,
then leave it blank. If it cannot be filled because the
information could not be obtained, or was not reported, then
insert a dash and explain the dash with a note to the table.
Notes to a Table
Notes are often used with tables. There are three different forms
of notes used with tables: (a) to eliminate repetition in the body
of the table, (b) to elaborate on the information contained in a
particular cell, or (c) to indicate statistical significance:
whole, including explanations of abbreviations used:
