report ANOVA

"A one-way between subjects ANOVA was conducted to compare the effect of (IV)______________ on (DV)_______________ in _________________, __________________, and __________________ conditions." "There was a significant (not a significant) effect of IV ____________ on DV ______________ at the p<.05 level for the three conditions [F(___, ___) = ___, p = ____].

t test

"An independent-samples t-test was conducted to compare (your DV measure) _________ in (IV level / condition 1) ________and (IV level / condition 2)________ conditions. "There was a significant (not a significant) difference in the scores for IV level 1 (M=___, SD=___) and IV level 2 (M=___, SD=___) conditions; t(__)=____, p = ____"

post hoc

"Post hoc comparisons using the Tukey HSD test indicated that the mean score for the sugar condition (M = 4.20, SD = 1.30) was significantly different than the no sugar condition (M = 2.20, SD = 0.84). However, the a little sugar condition (M = 3.60, SD = 0.89) did not significantly differ from the sugar and no sugar conditions."

levels of measurement

1 nominal: category, name, label (male = 0, female = 1) can't average, use counts. 2 ordinal: ordered from least to most, but distance between isn't precise (fav restaurant 1-5) 3 interval: distance between attribute does have meaning: no zero point (strong disagree, somewhat disagree, etc...) 4 ratio: absolute zero point that is meaningful (how angry from 0-100)

Ways to administer surveys

1. Conducted in person, one-on-one (home, mall intercept) 2. Conducted by telephone (often uses a CATI system - computer assisted telephone interviewing) 3.

Response Rate and How to Calculate

1. Response rate refers to percentage of valid sample who provide a valid, completed interview -Calculated by dividing number of respondents completing survey by total number of respondents in the VALID sample

chi square report

A chi-square test of independence was performed to examine the relation between religion and college interest. The relation between these variables was significant, X2 (2, N = 170) = 14.14, p <.01. Catholic teens were less likely to show an interest in attending college than were Protestant teens.

Chi-square test

A significance test used to determine if a linear relationship exists between two variables measured on interval or ratio scales. Chi-square stat see if there are significant differences in the frequency distribution

outlier

A value much greater or much less than the others in a data set

Variability (variance)

measurement process (starts with concept

Once you have decided which concept is important to study, it is time to figure out how measure its presence or absence measure when it does or doesnt occur = called operationalization

What is the interval scale that has mainly degrees of positive positions?

The nonsymmetric interval scale

Central Limit Theorem

The theory that, as sample size increases, the distribution of sample means of size n, randomly selected, approaches a normal distribution. - if a replication is repeated lots of times and a bar chart of all percents of all results, the central limit theorem holds that it would look like a normally distributed curve
