V SPSS ASSIGNMENTS FROM Cronk, "How to Use SPSS," Fifth Edition
> The 12 SPSS assignments appear below. Each assignment includes reading and instructional material, and requires that you perform particular SPSS procedures. These procedures produce output tables and figures that you will need, in order to answer a set of questions that appear on a computer survey instrument. You access the survey by clicking on the appropriate hyperlink in each assignment.. Enter your answers to questions on the survey, along with a special "fake" name that you will create, and then press the SUBMIT button. This will send a document containing your answers, directly to me. You will receive feedback (comments and grades) from me, at a later time.
Grading of SPSS Assignments >Assignments 1-3 are worth 4 pts. each; assignments 4-12 are worth 7 points each. >The maximum number of points are awarded for each web survey that is submitted on time, and that contains no errors. >Feedback concerning a web survey containing errors
is given to you via |
>>> Read Chapter 1 in the Cronk text. >>> Dataset #1 contains the data you will be working with for Assignment 1. (Note: Use the form of Dataset #1 [A,B,C,D, or E] that you have been assigned.) Input the data from DATASET #1 into the DATAVIEW WINDOW of SPSS. Be sure to SAVE your work onto a flash drive, for future use.
>>> Using the DEFINE
VARIABLE WINDOW, give each variable a VARIABLE NAME (e.g., COLOR), and a
VARIABLE LABEL (e.g., COLOR OF TEST). |
ASSIGNMENT 2: Descriptive Statistics I >>> Read Chapter 2 in the Cronk text (Read Sec. 2.1, skip Sec. 2.2, pgs. 12-13, resume at top of pg. 14). >>> Dataset
#5 contains the data you will be working with for Assignment 2.
Click on the form of Dataset #5 [A,B,C,D, or E] that you have been assigned. Now read this:
>>>Using COMPUTE command of SPSS, create a NEW VARIABLE, labeled CHARISMA. The CHARISMA score is the sum of subjects' Extroversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness scores (i.e., CHARISMA = Extroversion + Agreeableness +Conscientiousness. >>> Using the DESCRIPTIVES procedure, generate descriptive statistics for subjects' CHARISMA SCORES. The resulting SPSS OUTPUT files should resemble the Assignment 2 sample file shown here. >>> Save the OUTPUT FILE; you will need this output to answer the questions below.

ASSIGNMENT 3: Descriptive Statistics II >>> Read Sections 3.1, 3.3, and 3.4 of Chapter 3 in the Cronk text. >>> Load the form of DATASET #1 that you have been assigned (A,B,C,D, or E) into the DATAVIEW window. >>> Using the DESCRIPTIVES procedure, generate descriptive statistics for subjects' SCORE on the test. >>> Using the ANALYZE -> COMPARE MEANS -> MEANS procedure, generate separate descriptive statistics for the test SCORES of the MALE and the FEMALE subjects. >>> Using the ANALYZE -> COMPARE MEANS -> MEANS procedure, generate separate descriptive statistics for the test SCORES of subjects who took BLUE tests and those who took WHITE tests. >>> Using the ANALYZE -> COMPARE MEANS -> MEANS procedure, and employing the "LAYERING" feature, generate separate descriptive statistics for the test SCORES of subjects with each combination of sex and paper color, i.e., MEN who took BLUE tests, MEN who took WHITE tests, WOMEN who took BLUE tests, and WOMEN who took WHITE tests. The final output file should resemble the Assignment 3 sample file shown here. >>> Save the OUTPUT FILE containing the descriptive statistics; you will need this output to answer the questions below.

ASSIGNMENT 8: Correlation Coefficient >>> Read Rachel's story
in
>>> Read Chapter 5,
Section 5.1 in the Cronk text. Review Chapter 4, Section 4.4. >>> The first question on the web survey for this assignment will be: (A8-1) Name two variables that Rachel expected to have a positive relationship with each other. >>> Produce a SCATTERPLOT that graphically shows the actual relationship between the variables you chose in (A8-1). One of the questions on the web survey for this assignment will refer to the scatterplot. >>> Perform the CORRELATION procedure, making an inter-correlation table showing the relationships among all four variables that Rachel measured. The relevant output tables should resemble the Assignment 8 sample tables shown here. This assignment will ask questions about NULL Hypotheses, Research Hypotheses, and statistical significance, as they apply to correlational studies.
