I am trying to work on my assignment. We are using JASP, and I am having a lot of trouble with what test I should run for my research question: "How often do you read the news, and how does it affect your perception of seeing life as dull or exciting" and also the proper way to do it, and how to answer these questions. The instructions I was given are: "Explain the form of analysis you used to manipulate your data. Consider the following questions in your explanation."

• From the point that you had the raw data, what tests did you run?
• Why did you select that test (or those tests)?
• How did you manipulate the data (for example cleaning the data)?
• Why did you choose to manipulate the data?
• What results did you desire?"
