SPSS HOMEWORK: TWO-WAY ANOVA ASSIGNMENT need major help with this

Page 7 of 4 SPSS HOMEWORK: TWO-WAY ANOVA ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW This assignment is designed to increase your statistical literacy and proficiency in conducting and interpreting the two-way independent-measures ANOVA. You will be completing two 2- way ANOVA analyses in SPSS, using data that are related to specific research scenarios in the behavioral sciences, such as psychology, social work, and counseling. You will also be completing one Cumulative Knowledge Question that will use an analysis learned in a previous week. Behind the scenes knowledge of how this test is conducted is fundamental to being able to 4 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 three 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 each scenario, you will create a new SPSS data file with the data from the problem scenario. ALL variable names in your SPSS data files must include your initials, so that they show up in your SPSS output and graph. For example, for someone with the initials ABC creating a variable of memory scores, the variable could be named "ABC_mem_scores" or "Mem_Scores_ABC", etc. For all problems, interpret results based on an alpha level of a = .05.

He hopes to use these results to help develop an on-campus violence prevention program. The administration has asked him additionally to look at whether perceptions of safety differ depending on students' year in school and gender. The psychologist administers a questionnaire with possible scores ranging from 1-70, with higher scores indicating higher perceptions of safety on campus, and lower scores indicating perceptions that the campus is less safe. The data are displayed in the table below. Conduct a two-way ANOVA to determine the effect of gender and year in school on perceptions of campus safety. Remember to put your initials within any and all variable names. Create a multiple line graph to display the differences between the groups. Follow the directions below the table to complete the homework.

In working towards this goal, he decides to examine the effects of different types of prevention programs for building effective communication skills for 8th grade students in his local school. He develops two types of programs, one based on a traditional lecture and reading format, and one based on interactive role-play during sessions. He also wants to know whether it is more effective to deliver this type of program during class hours or in an after-school program. Students in one 8th grade class are randomly assigned to one of the four conditions. After 6 months of the program, they are assessed on a measure of effective communication skills where higher scores indicate more effective communication skills. The data appear in the table below. Using this table, enter the data into a new SPSS data file and run a two-way ANOVA to test whether there is an effect of treatment setting and/or treatment format on communication skills. Remember to put your initials within any and all variable names. Create a multiple line graph to display the differences between the groups.
