Applied Psychology Research Methods Performance Task Assessment

To complete the Performance Task Assessment:

Based on the comparative or relational research question from Part 1, develop a research analysis of 1–2 pages (not including tables and figures). Add the following sections to the same document that includes your Part 1 submission:

Descriptive Analyses
Analyze the variables using descriptive statistics. Include any tables that display the statistical analyses you conducted on your selected variables.

Compute the measures of central tendency from the variables you have selected.

Compute the measures of variability/dispersion for the continuous variable(s).

Compute the frequencies/percentages (discrete or non-continuous) from the original dataset. Generate visual displays (i.e., table, figures) to illustrate the descriptive characteristics of your selected variables.

• Inferential Analyses
  Explain which type of inferential analysis is most appropriate for your research question. Describe the hypothesis you developed that stems from the research question.
• Analyze the variables using inferential analyses and determine statistical significance.
• Conduct correlation analyses or run t tests as needed to address the research question and test your hypotheses.
