Assignment #1 – Graded Individual Assignment Assignment Description and Instructions

For this assignment, students are required to conduct a statistical analysis to determine whether two therapies had a significant effect on stalking behavior when controlling for the person’s general tendency to stalk. To complete this assignment, students need to do the following:

1. Enter the data provided below into SPSS/JASP (N.B. The data should not be entered into SPSS as it appears in the table below).

2. Students are to then save the data file onto their local computer with the file name firstname_lastname_stalker.sav. Therefore, if the student’s name is John Smith, the file should be saved as follows: john_smith_stalker.sav.

3. Students are to conduct the appropriate statistical analyses to determine whether the two therapies had a significant effect on stalking behaviour when controlling for the person’s general tendency to stalk.

4. Students are to produce their findings in a report (Word document). The report should include:

a. The SPSS output of all the statistical analyses performed

b. The answers to the guided questions below

c. The stalker.sav file that was produced

Guiding Questions

1. Write two possible hypotheses for this research problem.

2. What is/are the independent variable(s) and how many levels do they have?

3. What is the dependent variable?

4. What is the covariate?

5. What analysis have you performed?

6. Has the assumption of homogeneity of variance been met? (Quote relevant statistics in your response).

7. Report the effect of ‘therapy’. Is this effect significant and how would you interpret it?

8. Report the effect of ‘initial stalking’. Is this effect significant and how would you interpret it?

Research Problem and Data Set

A marketing manager was interested in the therapeutic benefit of certain soft drinks for curing hangovers. He took 15 people out on the town one night and got them drunk. The next morning as they awoke, dehydrated, he gave five of them water to drink, five of them Lucozade, and the remaining five a leading brand of cola (this variable is called drink). He measured how well they felt (on a scale from 0 = very unwell to 10 = very well) two hours later (this variable is called well). He measured how drunk the person got the night before on a scale of 0 = sober to 10 = very drunk.
