Choose Three (3) Variables

Select three (3) variables from the GSS2022 dataset.Choose ONLY interval-ratio variables or ordinal variables with three or more categories.As you select variables, you might keep in mind the issues at the forefront of the debate over gender equality: income, education, and other measures of quality.Or, you might choose variables that relate to lifestyle choices and patterns of everyday life: religiosity, TV viewing habits, and so on.

List your three (3) variables in the table below.

State Research Hypotheses

For each of your three (3) variables, state a hypothesis about the difference you expect to find.For example, you might hypothesize that men will be more liberal or women will be more educated.Of course, you can hypothesize that there will be no significant difference between the genders in terms of your chosen variable(s).You can base your hypotheses on your own experiences or on the information about gender differences that you have acquired in your courses or from other sources.

Record your results in the table below.Write the SPSS variable name in the first column and then record the descriptive statistics.Next, record the results of the test of significance, using the top row ("Equal Variance Assumed") of the second output block.Record the t score, the degrees of freedom (df), and whether the difference is significant at the 0.05 level.If the value of "Sig. (2-tailed)" is less than 0.05, write YES in this column.If the value of "Sig. (2-tailed)" is more than 0.05, write NO in the column.

Variable 1 SPSS Name	Gender		s	N	t-score	df	significance
	Men
	Women

Variable 2 SPSS Name	Gender		s	N	t-score	df	significance
	Men
	Women

Variable 3 SPSS Name	Gender		s	N	t-score	df	significance
	Men
	Women

Summarize your findings. For eachof your three (3) variables, one sentence summarizing the test, in which you identify the variables being tested, the sample means for each group, N, the t score, and the significance level.In the professional research literature, you might find the results reported as: "For a sample of 1417 respondents, there was no significant difference between the average age of men (47.64) and the average age of women (48.69) (t= -1.119,df=1451, p>0.05)."

Summarize your findings. For eachof your three (3) variables, relating to your three (3) hypotheses from question 2. Did your findings match your expectations? Why/why not?
