FOR PROBLEM #2 THE FIRST LETTER TO MY LAST NAME IS H

 

Drug use is found among all ages, genders, races, socioeconomic statuses, educational levels, and cultures. Throughout the course, you will follow the story of Aaliyah where you will apply the concepts you learn. In this module, you will meet Aaliyah and get to know her current situation.

 

Analyze the case study and review your readings. Respond to the following:

• Identify and analyze Aaliyah’s risk and protective factors for drug use. Describe at least two factors for each.
• Discuss at least one thing not mentioned in the case study that could be an additional risk factor or protective factor for Aaliyah.
• Explain what these risk and protective factors imply for future substance use.

Write a 2-3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M1_A3.doc.

By Wednesday, February 22, 2017, deliver your assignment to the M1: Assignment 3 Dropbox.

Application: Chi-Square Study: Intelligence and Self-Esteem

 

Previously in this course, you worked with parametric statistics like t tests, ANOVAs, and correlations. In order to use parametric procedures, your dependent variables must be measured on either an interval or a ratio scale. For this Assignment you will examine the nonparametric procedure called chi-square, which allows you to analyze nominal data compared to parametric tests that allow you to analyze interval and ratio data. Consider this example: You are curious whether males report that they like statistics more frequently than females report that they like statistics. You decide you will ask them a yes-or-no question, and that involves nominal data. You would then count the numbers of responses of yes and no for males and for females.

 

Nonparametric procedures allow you to compare the male responses to the female responses and determine if gender and enjoyment of statistics are independent from each other (not related). Understanding chi-square will help you to more fully understand research studies that utilize nominal variables.

 

Scenario:

 

To prepare for this Assignment, imagine that you have information about 30 other participants’ self-esteem and intelligence, but for these individuals you only have data on whether they have average or above average intelligence, and whether they have high or low self-esteem. You do not have their actual scores for each variable. The observed frequencies are reported here:

		Intelligence
		Average	Above Average
Self-Esteem	Low	7	8
	High	5	10

 

Assignment:

 

To complete this Assignment, submit by Day 7 your answers to the following. Based on the scenario, use SPSS to determine if intelligence is related to self-esteem in your sample by computing the appropriate chi-square test. Save and submit both the SPSS data and output files.

 

• Explain what scale of measurement is used to measure intelligence in this example. How do you know?
• Explain what scale of measurement is used to measure self-esteem. How do you know?
• Before computing the chi-square, state your null and alternative hypotheses in words (not formulas).
• Based on the hypotheses you stated, explain whether you should conduct a one-way or two-way chi-square test and why.
• Identify the obtained χ2.
• Identify the degrees of freedom and explain how it is calculated.
• Identify the p value.
• Explain whether you should retain or reject the null hypothesis and why.
• Explain what you can determine about the relationship between self-esteem and intelligence, based on this set of data.
• Submit three documents for grading: your text (Word) document with your answers and explanations to the application questions, your SPSS Data file, and your SPSS Output file.

1. In the article “Why are General Education Courses Required,” Leigh Goessl believes that even if students object to taking General Education courses,  schools should have the requirement.  In your opinion should General Education course be required for all students?  You need to develop your argument with a minimum of two well-explained reasons.  You may use a personal experience, but you must also present  an example that applies to any student.

 

 

2. In Leigh Goessl’s article, “Why are General Education Course Required,” she focuses on the value of General Education courses.  Given that California State University, East Bay requires all students to complete a General Education Program, do you believe that those courses are mostly beneficial or harmful to students?  Be sure to use specific examples and explanations.  Also, be sure to keep the focus on the positives and/or negatives of GE, not if GE should be required or not.
