Problem Set 1: The independent-samples t test Research Scenario: A counselor is interested in evaluating the attitudes that different groups attach to seeking mental health treatment. Specifically, she wants to evaluate the theory that people with an external locus of control (ELOC) have more positive attitudes towards seeking treatment than people with an internal locus of control (ILOC). She administers a measure called the Attitudes Towand Seeking Professional Psychological Help-Short Form (ATSPPH- SF, Fischer & Farina, 1995) to a sample of 23 participants, who have been screened and assigned to groups based on their prevalent personal theory of locus of control. On the ATSPPH-SF, higher scores indicate more positive attitudes towards seeking mental health treatment. The results are in the table below. Using this table, enter the data into a new SPSS data file and run an independent- samples t test to determine whether those with an ILOC have more positive attitudes towards mental health treatment than those with an ELOC. Create a boxplot to show the difference between the groups.

(Results - 12 pts; Figure - 8 pts) SPSS HOMEWORK 1 ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW This assignment is designed to increase your statistical literacy and proficiency in conducting and interpreting the independent-samples 1 test. You will be completing two independent- samples I tests in SPSS, using data that are related to specific research scenarios in the behavioral sciences, such as psychology, social work, and counseling. Behind the scenes knowledge of how this test is conducted is fundamental to being able to understand and apply research in your related field to your practice. Additionally, SPSS skills are professionally valuable, as it is one of the most commonly used statistical software packages in behavioral science settings, both academic and professional. INSTRUCTIONS This assignment includes two problem sets that contain research scenarios and related questions. For each scenario, you will run an analysis in SPSS. The required product will include the SPSS output, an APA-style Results section describing the results, and the appropriate graph inserted as a Figure in APA style. For all problems, interpret results based on an alpha level of a = .05 This assignment is worth 60 points. Please review the SPSS Homework Tutorial in this module for directions on how to run the Statistical test, as well as the Results Sections in APA Style presentation, which includes a template for completing the APA-style Results sections for the independent-samplest test.
