Lab Project: Method Assignment
You will collect data from at least 20 people, using the approved survey submitted with your Introduction. Once you have data from at least 20, you must score the surveys and enter the data into an SPSS file.
Method Section Instructions
format): – Participants – include the number of participants, a description of the participants, and sampling procedures
– Materials – include a description of the survey questions used, including citations where appropriate (e.g., if you use religiosity you should cite Koenig & Bussing 2010 and if you used spirituality you should cite Hodge, 2003)
– Procedure – summarizes where the study took place (e.g., church, small group, Facebook) and the experience of the participants in a detailed and organized manner (Facebook)
– Analysis – state how the variables are operationally defined, alpha value, what statistical test will be used to answer the research question, and what version of SPSS is being used to analyze the data. Hint: Due to the brief nature of the course, the statistical test appropriate for this lab is one that is covered sometime during the first 5 modules of PSYC 515 or from PSYC 510. This will give you enough time to reflect on information you have already learned and run the analysis.
