SPSS Assessment 1
What will I be expected to do?
This assessment will test your abilities to use SPSS to run analyses, to accurately report statistical output following APA 7 conventions, and to interpret the information. All of these skills are taught in the mini-lectures and will be practiced in the computer labs.
What specifically should I be able to do?
You will be asked to demonstrate that you can:
Extract group-level descriptive statistics from a dataset
Test assumptions for One-Way Between-Groups ANOVA, report these in APA 7 conventions, and interpret the meaning of the results
Run a One-Way Between-Groups ANOVA, report it using APA 7 conventions, and interpret the output
Run post-hoc tests to compare groups. Report these and interpret the effects.
Run planned-contrast tests, report the results and interpret the effects.
Understand the effect sizes that are generated from the data, know where to find these and how to report them.
You will also be asked to upload your SPSS output file.
It is very important that you are accurate with your reporting. This includes reporting numerical values with the correct number of decimals, removing leading zeros when appropriate, and reporting statistical output with correct formatting.
