Correlation and dependence

However, even though this is the population from which a sample was taken for the research, it may be assumed that ultimately the goal of the study is to define the population as all workers in Taiwan, for purposes of extrapolation of the data. Additionally, only respondents holding a full-time job were selected for the analysis in order to highlight the potential effects of work/family conflict (Lu et al., 2011). Description of Data and Descriptive Statistics A wide variety of data was…

Procedure The study will be submitted to Northern Illinois University’s Institutional Review Board for approval. Once approval is granted and a middle school has agreed to participate in the study, a letter will be sent home to parents explaining the study and that their consent is required for their child(ren) to participate. All students whose parents return the consent form will be discussed among school staff in order to make pairs. Teachers, social workers, and paraprofessionals will…

Statistics Worksheet Part A Question 1 a) Below is the calculation for the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient between the total number of problems correct and the attitude toward test taking. Total no. of problems correct (out of a possible 20): X Attitude toward test taking (out of a possible 100): Y (X - X ̅)² (Y - Y ̅)² (X-X ̅)(Y-Y ̅) 1 17 94 1.96 204.49 20.02 2 13 73 6.76 44.89 17.42 3 12 59 12.96 428.49 74.52 4 15 80 0.36 0.09 -0.18 5 16 93 0.16 176.89 5.32 6 14 85 2.56 28.09…

with the conclusions made by the author(s) in the discussion section? Explain your rationale. I believe the authors made an evaluation appropriate to the results of the study. The authors based the implication for school psychologist only on the correlations that were significant, and suggested improvements on practices of school psychologist based on results that were not significant. For instance, the authors suggested that school psychologist address beliefs about ADHD as well as…

The purpose of the study, A Psychological Exploration of Engagement in Geek Culture, was to identify and understand why people participate in geek culture. Geek culture is defined as a subculture of enthusiasts that are interested in “obscure” media such as anime, sci-fi, and videogames. However, there are many faucets of the culture and it has become increasingly appealing to mainstream audiences, causing a greater shift in active engagement. Despite geek interests once being marginalized,…

Animal deaths, especially from anthropogenic causes, are valuable indicators of ecological and conservation problems that span a particular population (Collins 2011). Deer mortalities are no exception to this rule of thumb, as deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) are a growing problem in the US and reflect the displacement of deer populations. Over 1 million DVCs occur in the US annually and result in the loss of human life, human injury, and considerable financial costs resulting from the vehicle…

Avdic, 2011). Discipline and organisation of conscientious students (Komarraju, Karau, & Schmeck, 2009) enable effective learning methods, especially the two learning styles of methodical study and synthesis analysis that have the highest positive correlation with both conscientiousness and GPA. These two learning styles complement the traits of conscientious students which when paired with motivation, result in the highest academic performance of all five personalities (Komarraju, Karau,…

self-esteem which were the Big Five Inventory (BFI) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The relationship between the two variables was statistically analyzed using the Pearson’s r correlational test. This study hypothesized that there is a positive correlation between extraversion and self-esteem. The results showed that extraversion had a non-significant relationship with self-esteem thus failing to reject the null hypothesis. Introduction…

students (Engs & Hanson, 1990). That also indicates that there are more alcohol dependence and alcohol-related health problems among young adults. It is possibly due to four main drinking motives that are typically occurring during the twenties. According to previous studies, there are strong positive correlations between Drinking motives and alcohol consumption. In addition to that, there’s strong negative correlation between the usage of Protective Behavioral Strategies and alcohol consumption…

and 2, provide weak positive linear relationships between the amount of time spent participating in extracurricular activities when compared to campus common assessment data. Table 8 depicts the weak positive relationship as it pertains to the correlation coefficient, ranging from +.20 to +.29, for a number of the comparisons between amount of time spent participating in extracurricular activities when compared to CCA results. When exploring the scatterplots further, Figures 1 and 2, the data…
