Topic: Results and Discussion Section Of Psychometrics On Attitudes Towards Climate Change

Description

I will provide a pdf of a first report I completed on attitude towards climate change. I will also provide results to a survey I issued on attitudes towards climate change. The task for this paper is to strictly complete the results section and discussion section with the information I provided. 1. For the results section you will need to: Report results of the item analyses at each step. Scale internal consistency after item deletion should also be reported. I suggest that you set up a table that looks like one I will provide as a pdf in the results section of “example of a report”. Briefly describe the item analysis in results section. Describe your criteria for removing items and why you stopped removing items. 2. For the discussion section, you will need to: Discuss the results of your item analyses Which items did not relate well to the rest of the Scale? For each poor item, tell me: in your view, why is that (what was wrong with this item)? You should also discuss how you would deal with that item. If rewrite, tell me how you would rewrite it. If the item is not relevant to the rest of the questionnaire and you would take it out, tell me that For the 3 items with the highest correlation, tell me why they worked so well. Finally, tell me about any other changes you would make to the whole scale? Would you add any items? On what topic? Would you change the response scale? Then: 1. Discuss the sample and the strengths and limitations of the pilot procedure. 2. Reliability testing: Discuss each type of reliability and identify which are appropriate for your attitude scale. Also discuss the procedure that you would use to assess them. 3. Validation: Discuss the types of evidence for validity and identify whether each is appropriate for your attitude scale. Tell me why it is or isn’t appropriate. If a given type of evidence is appropriate, tell how you would assess it. The pdf titled “report 1” is the first report I fabricated with information on the topic. The pdf titled “Data_all” is all the data from the survey I conducted that you will write the results section on The pdf titled “example of an a final report” is an example of a final report to give you guidance on what the results section and discussion section should look like and consist of. Please refer to this pdf when writing.
