Applying Analytical Strategies to an Area of Research Interest

Part A. SPSS Assignment
The
“Activity 10.sav” file contains a dataset of a high school teacher
interested in determining whether his students’ test scores increase
over the course of a 12 week period. In the dataset, you will find the
following variables:
Participant: unique identifier Gender: Male (M) or Female (F)
Score_0 – score on the initial course pre-test (first day of class) Score_2 – score at the end of week 2
Score_4 – score at the end of week 4
Score_6 – score at the end of week 6
Score_8 – score at the end of week 8
Score_10 – score at the end of week 10
Score_12 – score at the end of the course (week 12)
Now do the following:
Exploratory Data Analysis.

Perform exploratory data analysis on the relevant variables in thedataset. When possible, include appropriate graphs to help illustratethe dataset.
Give a one to two paragraph write up of the data once you have done this.
Create an APA style table that presents descriptive statistics for the sample.
Repeated Measures ANOVA. Perform a repeated measures ANOVA using the”Activity 10.sav” data set. You will use Score_0 through Score_12 asyour repeated measure (7 levels), and gender as a fixed factor.
Is the assumption of sphericity violated? How can you tell? What does this mean in the context of interpreting the results?
Is there a main effect of gender? If so, explain the effect. Usepost hoc tests when necessary (or explain why they are not required inthis specific case).
Is there a main effect time (i.e., an increase in scores from Week 0to Week 12)? If so, explain the effect. Use post hoc tests whennecessary (or explain why they are not required in this specific case).Examine the output carefully, and give as much detail as possible inyour findings.
Write up the results in APA style and interpret them. Be sure thatyou discuss both main effects and the presence/absence of an interactionbetween the two.
Part B. Applying Analytical Strategies to an Area of Research Interest
Briefly restate your research area of interest.
Identify at least 2 variables for which you would utilize a repeatedmeasures ANOVA in your analysis. Describe the variables and their scaleof measurement. Identify whether each factor is fixed or repeating.Where on the SPSS output would you look to find out if you violated theassumption of sphericity? If the data did violate this assumption, whatwould the impact be on your analysis?
You should now have the following file:
